Why I Now Feel Compelled To Vote For Trump
Townhall.com ^ | 10/23/16 | Derek Hunter

Posted on 10/26/2016 3:56:34 PM PDT by NohSpinZone

I couldn’t do it, I just couldn’t. For countless reasons I’ve covered over the last year, I dug in my heels and proudly basked in my self-satisfaction. I still defended Trump in this column and on social media when he was wrongly attacked by the left and the media, but I was steadfast in my opposition to the man.

So what changed?

A Never Trump author relents and comes to his senses. The joy of not voting for Trump out of moral superiority is ephemeral; the lasting effects of a Crooked Hillary administration may be lifelong. That's the real choice in this election. Hillary AND the media must be stopped.

Mark Levin actually shared this piece in his Facebook page.

.. So what changed? ..

You realized that, starting on November 9th, you would be an object of derision for the rest of your life?

WELCOME ABOARD.

looks like the jack wipe doesn’t want to be left out of the parties if Trump wins.

We must take Jesus’s lesson of the “Prodigal Son” and apply it to these lost sheep. We should welcome them back with open arms.

Derek uses a lot of words to say...

“I watched the Michael Moore video and now I have permission to use my brain.”

Hey, whatever it takes. It’s all good!

Trump 2016!

Interesting quote from the article:

“More than anything, I can’t sit idly by and allow these perpetrators of fraud to celebrate and leak tears of joy like they did when they helped elect Barack Obama in 2008. I have to know I weighed in not only in writing but in the voting booth.

“The media needs to be destroyed. And although voting for Trump won’t do it, it’s something. Essentially, I am voting for Trump because of the people who don’t want me to, and I believe I must register my disgust with Hillary Clinton.”

Yes, but the prodigal son did not get a refresh on his inheritance :-)

There you go, another rat just left the sinking Never Trump ship. Don’t give him a clear shot at your back.

Welcome to the dark side.

Trump was never my first choice. Far from it. But Hillary has always been my last choice.

Next month, either Donald Trump will be our next President or Hillary Clinton will be. Pretty easy choice to make.

I don’t know what Trump will do as President. Anyone who says that they do is kidding themselves. I do, however, know with absolute certainty what Clinton will do if she is elected. Four more years of Obamanation and a far left wing takeover of the federal courts for another generation to come. With Trump we at least have hope.

“So what changed?”

Hell if we care.

Just mark the ballot properly and avoid the electronic voting machines.

He’s still hoping Mondale beats Reagan.

When Hillary gets done with us we’ll be pining for the good ole’ days when Zero was president.

As they say on Reddit, get that man a coat!

It’s not too late to slough off the NeverTrump moral posturing.

My thoughts are very close to those of the author. It makes me sick to think that the media can get away with what they've been doing - not just during the Trump candidacy, but more most of the past twenty years. First, they rallied around Bill Clinton, abandoning long-held views on the evils of sexual harassment, and worse.

Then, they nit-picked every word and action of Bush, aiding and abetting our enemies during wartime, calling Bush a war criminal and a fake-turkey eater, and everything in between. They created a two-year scandal out of the Valerie Plame nothing burger, and then turned a blind eye to Obama's past and let him lie about everything from gay marriage to his health plan. They blasted Bush for his budget deficits, and ignored or justified Obama's large ones.

And we all know how they handled Trump: drip, drip, drip - a new "scandal" every day, no matter how old and unsubstantiated, and parsed his every word to obtain the worst possible interpretation. They made up stuff about Trump, and ignored the thuggery of the Democrats and BLM.

They bleat about "democracy," yet do everything in their power to destroy it and replace it with a Marxist/fascist tri-partite (government/corporations/media) one-party state at home, and a world government headquartered abroad. They cannot be allowed to have the last word without a fight.

Very well stated, and so true.
