There’s only one way to protect the nation from Hillary Clinton, and that is to vote for Donald Trump.

I am pleasantly surprised the Wall Street Journal published this op-ed in the weekend edition.

I am not pleasantly surprised that it is hidden behind a pay wall.

Why are you surprised? The WSJ has been publishing a wide variety of opinions for months, including at least one piece written by Donald Trump himself.

Lifted from an on-line blog but worth remembering:

In matchups between Trump and Hillary Clinton, Trump does much better in polls conducted online, in which respondents click their answers on a computer screen, rather than in person-to-person landline and cellphone surveys. … Why is this important? Because an online survey, whatever other flaws it might have, resembles an anonymous voting booth far more than what you tell a pollster does. …

I have low expectations.

Wish I could post the whole thing. It destroys arguments that voting third party or not voting for either candidate is a principle position.

[Bryanw92]

It started out good. Hopefully they’ll reach some NeverTrumpers who subscribe and pull them out of the weeds.

“Why do we insist on women in combat but not in the NFL? Because we take football seriously. That’s no joke; it’s the sad truth.”

That’s a good line right there, I don’t care who’yar.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Amen.

There’s only one way to protect the nation from Hillary Clinton, and that is to vote for Donald Trump.

If Illiarily Clintoon is elected, we can kiss our families, friends and nation goodbye.

There is only one relevant alternative!

Then, President Trump can put her, her serial rapist husband, and her thugs in jail to wait for trial.

Thanks to Procon!

On November 8th, defeat the DREEGs!

Democrat-Republican Elite Establishment Globalists.

The Obamas, Clintons and Bushes are all high-ranking DREEGs. Paul Ryan is a DREEG lackey. Etc.

[Tax-chick]

Mr. Gelernter is an extremely interesting analyst.

Here's the nub of the piece:

There is only one way to take part in protecting this nation from Hillary Clinton, and that is to vote for Donald Trump. A vote for anyone else or for no one might be an honest, admirable gesture in principle, but we don’t need conscientious objectors in this war for the country’s international standing and hence for the safety of the world and the American way of life.

[Kudsman]

Indeed. Be DREEG repellent.

[KittyKares]

I don’t have a subscription. Can you mention a couple of points it brings up?

[KittyKares]

Thanks. I’m glad to hear this.

[CincyRichieRich]

I have low expectations.

Hope is a conscious decision and takes sacrifice.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

You have it in you, just do it.

He is not Romney nor McCain, nor Dole.

Isn’t Gelerntner the one who had a bomb mailed to him that blew up aND injured him? A VERY smart guy, IIRC

[FreedomNotSafety]

Google it. Most of the time a Google search will get you in for free. It is good for a few articles a week.

Many many thanks!

That piece is spot on!
