I hate Donald Trump. But he might get my vote.

No Trump campaign buttons or bumper stickers for me. I’m part of the new silent majority: those who don’t like Donald Trump but might vote for him anyway. For many of us, Trump has only one redeeming quality: He isn’t Hillary Clinton. He doesn’t want to turn the United States into a politically correct, free-milk-and-cookies, European-style social democracy where every kid (and adult, too) gets a trophy just for showing up.

Members of this new silent majority, many of us front-wave baby boomers, value hard work and love the United States the way it was. We long for a bygone era when you didn’t need “safe spaces” on college campuses to shelter students from the atrocity of dissenting opinions, lest their sensibilities be offended. We have the reckless notion that college is the one place where sensibilities are supposed to be challenged and debated. Silly us....

See my post right above this one. I said it before; I’ll say it again. They hate Donald Trump more than they love their own children.

Apparently. It’s mind-boggling. Letting Hillary skate into the WH.

I want a future for my kids as well.
I am more optimistic now than I have been in literally years.
Glad you see you back on FR.
Glad you are on the Train.

Cheers.
