This Election Isn't about Trump
American Thinker ^ | October 16, 2016 | Lee Owen

This election is not about Donald Trump. The name on the Republican presidential ballot could have been any of the 16 that ran in the primary races. The name doesn’t matter. What matters is the reason for winning. The reason is to restore the heart of America.

Ask yourself, do you really want Obamcare for the rest of your lives, your children’s lives? Each year it gets engrained more and more into our society making it harder to get rid of. If the Democrats win it stays; if they gain back control of the House and Senate, they may add to it. Even Bill Clinton in Michigan this past week said it was crazy.

Again, the name Trump on the top of the ticket does not matter. I hear you, I understand: his language against women, his alleged assaults. You are right, it’s bad; so is the language in locker rooms or bars or other places men hang out. This is a diversion from our main mission.

Ask yourself; can I really trust Mrs. Clinton? If she wins, we have heard her statements on issues like Benghazi. They asked for increased security and the State Dept. never gave it. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the attack was due to a video, but we found out later she knew different. She has a long history of lying to the American people. Back in 1996 she claimed when she landed in Bosnia she had to run cause she was under sniper fire.

These are just two of her many, many lies to the American people. Do you really fear Donald Trump more?

Although I liked and still liked Dr Ben Carson I never considered voting for him. For the simple reason that he would be perfect as Secretary for Health and Human Services. In this case in the Trump administration.

Rand Paul turned me off when he announced in 2013 that he planned to run for president.

I get what they’re trying to say, but I disagree.

Only Trump would have been able to expose the corruption in the GOP and the complete collusion with the Democrats. Every other candidate (with the possible exception of Cain) would have been business-as-usual. They were all bought and paid for.

Trump’s foibles amount to a single molecule floating in the universe of Washington corruption.

Hillary is directly responsible for numerous deaths, and she is guilty of espionage and obstruction at a minimum. Those who raise social faux-pass above true crimes against the nation are enemies of the country.

This isn’t Republicans vs Democrats ; it’s the People vs the Establishment.

The corruption is complete, and it’s time for a House-cleaning. We need someone who can get their hands dirty. Washington is the most filthy place on the planet!

Agree 100%! The other 16 were nothing but Establishment fakers. The biggest and best faker of all was Ted Cruz, Bush family lackey.

“This election is not about Donald Trump. The name on the Republican presidential ballot could have been any of the 16 that ran in the primary races.”, this is the first sentence in article.

I understand that the author is trying to make some type of positive point, but the first statement in the article is false. The name absolutely could not have been Jeb Bush, or John Kasich, Lindsay Graham, and to a lesser extent most of the others. The only one who brought it all together was Trump. The only one who clicked with the people in the primary by telling the absolute unvarnished and ugly truth was Trump.

I have a totally different view on this.

I believe that for the low-information voter who doesn’t pay much attention to all the background noise—this election is a plebiscite on Hillary—up or down.

That’s it.

I believe it will be 60% down—and that will be enough for Trump to win.

The election is about the Supreme Court.

If I thought it was any of your business I would tell you, but since it isn’t I won’t. GOT IT?
