I asked a successful businessman the other day what he thought about Donald Trump. He turned his thumb down. Wow. "Are you going to vote for Hillary?" I asked with trepidation. "Of course not," he replied, almost insulted by the question. "I understand the concept of a binary decision."
I got a similar response when I asked oil magnate T. Boone Pickens whether he would vote for Trump. He looked at me with a quizzical expression and replied: "Well, who else is there to vote for?"
Right. Who else is there? Yet, amazingly, a caucus of lifelong Republican politicos in Washington are announcing to the world with defiance and self-righteousness that they will vote for Hillary Clinton.
They are mostly former Mitt Romney and George W. Bush operatives. They lost, and now they want people to believe that their anti-Trumpism is a principled act of heroism. They ingratiate themselves to The New York Times, Washington Post and team Clinton -- the sworn enemies of free markets and conservative values.
Somehow this doesn't offend their moral compass....

At last, a savior comes along. And these turncoats ignore pledges made and their assumptions of party loyalty and pull this BS? Throughout history, it's very rare that those who abuse power so horrifically have the opportunity to be voted out of office. They should SHUT UP, retreat forever to their gated communities and other highly secured enclaves, and never show their creepy faces again.
(gosh, typing the whole thing out is therapeutic!)
Conservative? How about American
The Republican donors are unhappy that their money may be less useful at buying access in a Trump administration, but think they might be able to do business with Hillary. They are the ones pulling the strings of the "#NeverTrump" politicians.
I had to laugh at the idea of Romneyites and Bushies having a moral compass.
Not necessarily, communism has their oligarchy, by its very definition:
“a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.”
There is nothing about communism that promotes equality.
"Have no choice, sorry, sorry, sorry. You have no choice," Trump continued, calling the late Justice Antonin Scalia a "great guy" and acknowledging tied decisions at the Supreme Court after his death.
Trump said the next president "will probably have three, could be four, could even be five" appointments to make to the Supreme Court, alluding to the ages of senior justices.
Trump dismissed critics who speculate he may appoint liberal judges and said if Hillary Clinton appoints judges: "You're going to end up with another Venezuela. You're going to be Venezuela."
Not a huge Trump fan at all, but I will vote for him come heck or high water. I also think that if we lose this one, the "base" is going to call it quits in politics, we may never win a national election again.
Note the publication date on this one.
Good find.
It amazes me that they all supported McCain and Romney. In what way were they more conservative than Trump? McCain is the master of giving in to Dems when it really matters.
All we have on our side is Trump. Time for Ted Cruz to come and help him. The same for Paul Ryan, a major disappointment in the vein of Eric Cantor (He could have been a contender).
Forget Bret Stephens, Gigot, and many of the other purists or pseudo-purists. Politics is not a game of purity. It is usually a game of survival, smears, dirty tactics, lies, subversion, corruption, criminal money, and treason, and thats just how the Democrats play it.
********************************
They are not purists, they are as corrupt as any Democrat.
All the people mentioned in the excerpt above have been working for the Cheap Labor Express and against the citizens.
It’s easier to name the ones who are not on board than to name all of them who are.
There is a reason why the GOP has only nominated amnesty candidates since the last amnesty.
