The Case for Donald Trump
Wall Street Journal ^ | July 18, 2016 | William McGurn

What’s the best case for Donald Trump?

The question comes in the week Republicans here will formally nominate him for president, and the answer is not complicated. Indiana Gov. Mike Pence gave it as his reason for signing on as Mr. Trump’s VP: The alternative is President Hillary Clinton.

This is the reality of choice in a two-party democracy. Still, many have a hard time accepting it. So even as Mr. Trump handily dispatched 16 more-experienced rivals, his shortcomings and unfitness for office have become a staple of conservative fare.

KEYWORDS: allin216; case; clinton; donaldtrump; elections; hillary; hillaryclinton; trump
Trump is smart, sensible, has the right values and truly wants to "make America great again".

These are excellent reasons to vote for him. Then add to this that the alternative is Hillary Clinton who would finish what Obama started, the total destruction of the US.

The choice is easy. And everyone should do their part: get out and actually VOTE! It will still be close, but turnout will determine who wins.

We need to have enough live voters vote for Trump to counteract all the dead and unconscious ones voting for Hillary. The Dems are masters of election fraud and there is a lot at stake.

There. Fixed it.

Really?

The situation is this. Trump showed up. When a program asked him to be on he was. Regardless of venue. I heard Trump on every cable and network news show. He was on every radio station that would have him being interviewed by whomever would have him.

Any producer at any show would tell you, none of the other campaigns would even allow their man to be interviewed. Many never even called back. When Trump’s campaign got a call he, himself, either answered the phone or called back to set up an interview. They where all over handled and missed out on the free publicity.

That is why JEB Bush spent $150 million to win zero delegates and Trump spent $50 million to win the nomination.

The best case for Donald Trump is that he has ground the WSJ’s nose in their very own Permanent Establishment Uniparty SH*T!

Paul Gigot prefers Hillary because she is from the same leftist pro-government anti-American pinnacle of graft.

Hillary Clinton has promised to be Barack Obama in a pantsuit, which means the downward trend will continue as the Democrat practice of “Promise Everything, Deliver Nothing, Blame Others” goes on*

He wins all 50 states, which is becoming more and more likely.

All my life, I have been hearing people arguing that we need to have leaders who are not politicians, who are not lawyers, who are not afraid to speak their mind and not be politically correct. We need a leader who has not made a career out of politics, has been successful in some other endeavor. Someone who is not beholding to the special interests.

Well, now we have one.

The modern day Republican Party doesn't give a rat's ass about who is fit or unfit to lead, nor are they in the least bit concerned with representing self-identifying 'conservatives'. It's an entrenched uniparty system, and all we get is a squabble over who gets to drive the clown car every four years. "It's my turn!" "No, it's MY turn!" *smack* *OOF!* *thwack** *OWWWW!* We need someone to muck the stalls in that animal farm up there.

He’ll stop the illegal alien inundation.
That’s why he’ll win big.
The citizens have wanted it stopped for decades.
Both parties have prevented us from doing anything about it.

I am still amazed by folks who express this misconception.

Trump got major media exposure alright, and about 80% of it was negative.

Were you even paying attention? Anyone saying negative things about Trump was sure to see those things repeated in the media for days on end.

None the less, some folks are certain Trump had the media in his pocket.
