Some of us this election year don’t even want to say the words “Clinton” or “Trump” — and with good reason

**********************************

Sowell turned from a hero to an ass hole rather quickly.

Pass the word to the 200 million registered voters (according to fauxahontus).

And make sure all the jackass party members know & understand that their votes are needed & to head to the polls on November 9th!

If we sit home in disgust on election day...

...then we show that "we" are not serious people, in fact are quite silly.

Trump is the proper instrument for what need be done at this time and place. Those who do not understand, frankly, are clueless about this time and place.

Thanks for posting this. The 3 of us in our family already voted for Trump absentee in Michigan. Our township still uses optically read paper ballots. Even so I still called the township offices yesterday to verify they got them in the mail.

The point that Dr Sowell is making is that we should not ignore that the election is also about Congress. The entire House faces reelections and the Senate 34 states have elections for Senate which we must not ignore.

I was addressing the first line of the article:

Some of us this election year don't even want to say the words "Clinton" or "Trump" -- and with good reason

I used to be an admirer of Dr. Sowell. Even he can't seem to open an analysis without a gratuitous swipe at Trump.

I get it... he's a flawed person and a imperfect politician. Anyone voluntarily subjecting himself to the last year would have to be a bubble off level. But we don't get to create our own perfect candidate, we have to choose them off the rack...unless we're willing to step into the ring ourselves.

Pointing out that he's flawed is not an intellectual achievement, and I'm up to here with mindless virtue signaling. Sowell and other critics need to get off Trump's back, or welcome the second President Clinton...with all that entails.

Trump is the perfect man for this time and place, and head and shoulders above any other Pub candidate.

Those self-righteous slobs disgust me.

Are you saying that Dr Sowell does not have a right to his opinion? If so, shame on you. Besides the subject of the article is not Donald Trump or Hillary Rotten Clinton, although he mentions them. The subject is Congress. If you had read the op-ed you would have noticed that.

Sowell is an old school Free Traitor and hates Trump.

Yes, we have been so well represented by a ‘GOPe’ Congress these past 6 years. Why, these representatives have kept their oath of office to protect and defend our Constitution.. I mean they have so motivated me to keep their sorry behinds in office, because the left would have been so much worse.

This reads like a Cruz sound bite calling Trump supporters ‘low information’ voters. Never thought I would ever consider Sowell so very much an elitist snob... I do NOT give a hoot what he thinks about Trump...

I just went by my polling place in Clearlake (Houston) TX.
The lines, as reported went out the door, around the building to the rear parking lot. Est 3 to 4 hours.
Parking spilled onto street for 2 blocks on both sides. I will go back when I can have more time to wait.
Voter enthusiasm is very high here.

Is English a second language for you?

I said I thought less of him for having expressed that opinion. He's fully entitled to hold and express that opinion. The two are not equivalent. In any case, he's not a snowflake.

I read the article; your point was that that the article was about the Congress, not Trump. That reinforces my point; why the need for the gratuitous shot at Trump? Can you think, then answer?
