It has become part of my morning routine to groan when I see the litany of negative articles about Donald Trump at nationalreview.com. Not that I’m a huge fan of his, but he did win fair and square and is the nominee.
Every day I receive emails voicing the same reaction to the constant barrage of scathing commentary about Trump from traditionally conservative sources. Perhaps the conservative punditry feels obligated to be self-critical. But, for those who backed other primary candidates, then put on their big boy pants and came to terms with supporting Trump -- or at least committed to vote for him -- this compulsion among the conservative chattering classes is dispiriting and causing a great deal of second-guessing. Even panic.
Should I reconsider voting for Trump?
Who else would I vote for?
A vote for any other candidate or sitting out the election -- something I’ve never done before -- just increases Hillary’s chances; I can’t be part of that.
What’s a conservative to do? And more importantly, what do these political soothsayers want from us?
Are they simply grousing or malcontents who can’t bring themselves to vote for Trump? I know they envision themselves as guardians of conservatism, but are they such purists that they are willing to ride their principles off a cliff?
Isn’t that a criticism often levelled at tea partiers?
Do they really know better than we do and, if so, shouldn’t we heed their advice? And, what exactly is their advice?

VOTE TRUMP!!
“What’s a Conservative to Do?”
Get out and vote for Trump— and take your friends with you and make sure they vote for Trump too.
Anything else is helping Hillary become president of the US. No conservative should want that.
What am I to do? What am I do?
Slap. Slap. Slap.
Be a man. Be a conservative.
Vote Trump!
(It’s not personal, just taking care of business.)
And vote Trump with a sense of pride in doing your part to revive the American spirit, even as we fight to preserve American values.
The article at the source is long (for American Thinker) and I suggest everyone read the entire thing. I do not doubt that most Freepers who read it will find themselves nodding their head in agreement as they read various passages.
Thanks for posting, Kaslin...
They are effete borderline idiots who can’t see the train coming right at them. Any conservative who doesn’t get his/her butt out to vote for Trump is no conservative. They are mental defectives at this point. THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!!! STOP ARGUING WITH US!!
We can force Trump to resign, impeach him or, after his term, nominate a better candidate and send Trump on “a very, very nice long vacation.” We will mop up the mess, but it will be minimal and not as detrimental to conservatism as people fear; the brand is so tarnished and the party so shattered already -- unrelated to Donald Trump -- that it’s hard to imagine it getting worse.

But not with a lot of the other tripe she dished out.
What not to do: Elect Hillary because Trump isn’t conservative enough for you?
I could not have said it any better
Traditionally conservative sources have been outed. They aren’t conservative. They’re crony capitalists big government liberals.
Yes it is long and well worth reading.
The last half of the commentary is the best. Must read and I will give you one paragraph from the middle of the article.
Call me jaded but, hello? Conservatism is already on life support and some of the very people who whine about Trump are responsible for its demise and for basically two reasons: first, the lack of political will, that is, the reckless and feckless behavior of Republican politicians who fail to follow through on campaign promises; and secondly, lack of political savvy, that is, Republican candidates do not know how to fight and, when they do fight, they bring a plastic spoon to a cage match. They don’t have a message or the means to deliver one to targeted groups, they talk like egg heads walking on egg shells, they lack the creativity to hone a sound bite and repeat it over and over until it becomes part of the narrative, they’re afraid to talk to the liberal media and, when they do, they are almost always on defense and fail to connect with viewers.
Vote Trump as many times as you can!..remember in Philly 1 vote will get five for the Dems!
Look at who Trump’s enemies are and you will feel better about voting for him.
Get Out The Vote
That’s what a conservative MUST do
“Conservatism is already on life support”
Is that true? How can the truth be on life support?
“What’s a Conservative to Do?”
...and work to prevent another voter/election FRAUD!!
