On Wednesday afternoon this week I made the trek into town, and scratched in the little circle next to next to the names Donald Trump and Mike Pence. It made me a bit queasy, honestly, but so did scratching in the circle next to the name of establishment RINO Richard Burr for Senate, as well as scratching off next to the name of the incoherent incumbent Walter Jones for Congress.
One vote for a New York liberal, one for a mini-McConnell, and one for a misanthrope loon who has managed to be loathed by both the House Freedom Caucus as well as by the office of Speaker John Boehner (and now Speaker Paul Ryan, too, no doubt).
Can I have some tums now?
Frankly, my conscience took a pounding in the booth, but the civic exercise of voting is not about my conscience, or gastrointestinal health, or anything else related to me personally. At the risk of sounding clichéd, it's about the country, and the Court, checks and balances, and so much more. I'm not in any way responsible for the choices I was given -- as I opposed all three of these people in the primaries -- and the primary season was the last time that my conscience was anywhere close to being on the ballot.
I think we should talk more about elections in these terms frankly. We rarely do.

Yes she will and she will be able to do it if we lose control of the House and the Senate.
God, you’re thin-skinned. Don’t post articles if you insist that everyone agree with it.
Oh crikes! I can’t believe American Thinker still lets C. Edmond Wrong pen articles. LOL!
“Profanity laced freepmail”
I warned him that he was going to get the zot when he freepmailed a profane tirade to me. Sure enough.
And you are to ignorant to know the difference of the subject of an article or op-ed and the author. Go back to school.
Yeah, I read it, Numbskull. My “review” stands.
Anything he scribbles is suspect, and meant only to bolster his own swiss cheese emulating ego.
As always, your hot-headed response to me reads like a Norm Crosby monologue.
Let’s take the content of the piece at face value. The fact is someone who has a LOT of problems with Trump voted for the good of the country. There’s nothing wrong with his vote. Those who respond to Michael Moore with votes for Trump are not doing a bad thing by doing so. There are some partially honest leftists who see Clintonism as poison that will disease everything it touches.
Very well said
Hillary will use executive action and the courts
to implement her agenda.
House and Senate won’t stop her.
No guts and no support from the courts.
I’m not a “numbskull”, I’m a proud deplorable.
And I didn’t comment on the article, I only mentioned that I was glad that C. Edmund Wright wasn’t stinking up FR any more. He may be right on occasion, but he is a nasty **** and he didn’t add to anything to this site.

obviously you are to ignorant to know the difference between the subject of an op-ed and the author writing the op-ed. Had someone else written an ob-ed about C. Edmund Wright, he would be the subject. No amount of Tums will get you over your ignorance.
Grow up.
I did not. I read what you excerpted and it failed to entice me to want to read the rest. And, honestly, I am not interested in giving Clara-bell any hits numBskull. Seriously, we had better writers on our high school newspaper.
I did hear he got a book published...called “BFD”... Or something like that…
Apparently you don’t understand what a first-person account is. This is an example of it. A lousy example, I admit, but an example.
Trump should offer the following program today:
A JOB FOR EVERY AMERICAN WHO WANTS A JOB
Millions of jobs will be freed up in construction, manufacturing, packing and, yes, agriculture when citizens are given preference.
I agree with him on Walter Jones. He’s a bit harsh on Burr.
He makes a good point that Trump should focus on the issues, the issues get him votes.
I’m glad he voted Republican even though he doesn’t like any of them, Hillary/Scuhumer/Pelosi must be stopped. Trump needs the votes of people that don’t like him, we must come together to defeat the enemies of liberty.
Yes, I did read what the Never Trump idiot wrote.
He’s no different than a bunch of the local talk shows hosts we have here.
They insist they are going to vote for Trump for all the reasons this idiot gave, and then spend the rest of the hours trashing Trump, essentially telling everyone else NOT to vote for him.
See Mark Levin.
Yes, the vote is right, but that does not excuse the author’s hypocrisy-drenched reluctance to acknowledge that Trump deserves the vote in his own right, not just because Hillary Clinton is a little worse.
In the six months since reasonable people should have realized Ted Cruz was not going to be the nominee, Trump has held strong to every conservative tennant except perhaps one; import tariffs, and even there Trump’s ‘position’ may turn out to be less policy and more negotiation.
When will ex Cruz supporters admit that Trump has far exceeded their expectations by sticking to conservative positions long after the traditional post convention “race to the middle”?
I can’t remember a more unapologetically pro life, pro gun, pro border, pro business, pro military, anti media, anti left, pro America republican nominee this late in the campaign, and it’s doubtful Cruz would have been any more stoic.
Trump has had to defend against the usual vicious attacks from the democrats and sold-out media, but also, by taking on the bipartisan corruption in Washington DC, he has had to fight the entrenched ‘republicans’ as well.
I didn’t watch The Apprentice, so a year and a half ago I had no idea what kind of a man Trump was. Those who doubted him or hated him or mocked him then MIGHT have been right, for all I knew then. But now we know they were wrong.
I admire what Trump is doing more than I’ve admired anyone in a long time. He could spend his billions and his final years basking in the warm glow of a loving family and friends - doing whatever he wanted. Instead he’s putting himself through this hellish experience.
I can’t wait to vote for Donald J. Trump, and people like C. Edmund Wright and Mark Levin, who picked the wrong horse six months ago and simply can’t admit they were wrong - their stubbornness reveals a mind boggling level of immaturity.
