The Voters’ Presidential Choice: Certainties and Possibilities
American Thinker ^ | August 28, 2016 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 08/28/2016 7:29:39 AM PDT by Kaslin

Americans are faced with a difficult and ugly choice in the coming election. Never in American history have there been two more unpopular candidates for president. For a year Donald Trump offended just about everyone, one way or another, but somehow managed to beat sixteen other conventionally more qualified candidates to become the Republican nominee.

What explains his victory? His rage against the tyranny of the DC establishment, left and right, that resonated with many millions of people who are fed up with the blight upon free speech that is political correctness. They are fed up with Obama's eight years of flooding the nation with illegal immigrants and refugees with questionable loyalties. They are fed up with the billions of taxpayer dollars that go to subsidize those people. They are fed up with Obama's "leadership from behind" that has put the country in grave danger - from Iran, from ISIS, from Russia, China, from home-grown terrorists, from a stagnant, over-regulated economy. A community activist does not a president make. And like Obama, Hillary is a woman who wants power in order to reorder American culture according to the theories of Cloward, Piven and Saul Alinsky that she has long embraced. Like Obama, she has no love or respect for the Constitution. If elected she will finalize its shredding.

With Trump there is a chance of a Constitutional SCOTUS, a possibility of reduced illegal immigration, the possibility of reduced taxation, the possibility of a stimulated economy and jobs for some of the 95 millions people now out of work. A vote for Trump may crack the leftist oppression that is political correctness and revive reverence for the First Amendment. A vote for Trump may save the Second Amendment. A vote for Trump may save our Vets from killing themselves in despair over their lack of medical care. A vote for Trump may find a way to replace the utter failure that is Obamacare with something affordable, accessible and workable. A vote for Trump may turn around the sad state of our decimated cites like Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, etc., those cities that have been run into the ground by democrat pols for decades.

If Hillary is elected, we can be certain of the path she will choose, one that will continue to inch toward totalitarianism. It will be terribly depressing because we will know what is coming. If Trump is elected, it will be a spin of the wheel but at least the possibility of a national turnaround will be there. We will be able to hope for a revived Constitutional Republic that is of, by and for the People. Which rough beast will be slouching toward the Oval Office after the election? Sadly, there is only one choice; the one with possibilities rather than dead certainties.

Trump brought to clear view the ESTABLISHMENT/MEDIA CORRUPTION and the New World Order total abandonment of the PEOPLE of the USA...VIA “TRADE DEALS”...

Hillary is an UNIDICTED FELON... and a TRAITOR for aiding ISIS
Obama is an empty suit who hates America ..

BOTH ARE OWNED BY FOREIGN INTERSTS AND ARE OUR BENEDICT ARNOLDS..
SELLING OUT AMERICA, CHEAPLY..AT THAT...

the government has become a cancer preying on people who work and buying the votes of those who dont... congress is derelict in its duty and no one is honoroing the oath they took when they took office... to DEFEND THE COSNTITUTION FROM ENEMIES FOREIGN and DOMESTIC...

Patricia is a mind numbed dunce. Your assessment is absolutely spot on. With Donald we have a chance. With Hillary all hope is lost.

Hillary’s unpopularity is based upon her BEHAVIOR. Trump’s unpopularity is based upon MEDIA DISINFORMATION.

We can't expect the domestic enemies to defend the Constitution from THEMSELVES!

Your assessment is absolutely spot on.

the assessment you’re agreeing with is in fact taken from Patricia’s article, is it not...?

TRUMP'S TRIUMPH:

<><> articulating our rage against the tyranny of the DC establishment.

<><> millions of people fed up with the blight upon free speech that is political correctness.

<><> fed up from Obama's eight years of flooding the nation with illegal immigrants and refugees with questionable loyalties.

<><> fed up with the billions of taxpayer dollars that go to subsidize those invaders.

<><> fed up with Obama's "leadership from behind" that has put the country in grave danger - from Iran, from ISIS, from Russia, China, from home-grown terrorists,

<><> fed up over Obama's stagnant, over-regulated economy.

A community activist does not a president make. And like Obama,
Hillary is a woman who wants power in order to reorder American culture.

You make absolutely no sense. You call the author a mind numbed dunce, then in the sentence you write: "Your assessment is absolutely spot on. With Donald we have a chance. With Hillary all hope is lost."

What is it? Is she a mind numbed dunce, or are her assessment spot on?

As far as popularity is concerned, I think there is no comparison. Hillary draws crowds (When she does hold an event) ranging from a few dozen to a few hundred and occasionally a thousand or two. Trump’s frequent rallies draw crowds ranging from a few thousand to a few tens of thousands. Trump is not nearly so unpopular as the media would have us believe.
