And if it’s Trump, Jonah and I will stay home; so take that!
Coach is Right ^ | 9/15/15 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

Posted on 09/15/2015 10:13:21 AM PDT by Oldpuppymax

The leftist apologist wing of the GOPe has tried everything they can to “help” us “unwashed masses” see the light about how terrible Donald Trump is and so far nothing has worked. Nevertheless, these Beltway Wile E Coyotes won’t stop until they have their collective noses rubbed in a Trump victory.

The latest “enlightened” pronouncement, designed to help us lesser beings rid ourselves of support for Trump, has been penned by Robert Tracinski, a guy no one outside of the RNC headquarters in Washington has ever heard of.

Reading it developed into an eye exercise because as it droned on my gaze kept jumping to the dateline. I found myself asking, “When did this fool write this?” and again and again I was reassured that it was posted just last Friday September 11, 2015.

The fantasy this guy weaves is a case for him and his pal Jonah Goldberg running away from the political field or staying home when Trump is elected.

Why this would mean anything to anyone but Karl Rove is a mystery.

Mister Tracinski acknowledging that, “A lot of the support for Donald Trump is fueled by outrage against the Republican establishment,” then fails to say why this is so as if those of us (myself included) who have re-registered away from his Republican Party did so because we were tired of nothing more than its never-ending requests for money. Tracinski seems clueless to the fact that even if he can’t recognize the GOPe’s betrayal of conservatism, we can.

Not knowing how to deconstruct an argument he doesn’t like...

...and stay away from the ocean or else “home” for you and Jonah might be a whale’s belly. :)

OK. If it’s Bush, Carson, Rubio, Christy, Fiorina, Graham, Santorum, Huckabee, or anyone else of that ilk I’m staying home.

Basically for me it’s Cruz, Trump, maybe Walker.

Suck it GOP. You’ve screwed the country too many times.

I can’t help but wonder what people like this were doing when Ross Perot was on the scene?

maybe if they want to be called conservative writers, they need to sign a loyalty pledge?

Guess what, boys. You get just one vote, exactly like the rest of us do. It must be killing you.

Those are precisely my same sentiments.
Tiptoeing around and allegedly being "moderate" simply yields us a Democratic president.
That is why I am squarely in the Cruz, Trump, maybe Walker camp, too.

Whether mr. tracinski wants to be the boy who takes the football home, or not, as an American, speaking his denial to vote, is an insult to all of those who have died, in the service of our nation, to assure that mr. tracinski could vote.

I refuse to sign a loyalty oath not to vote third party if Trump is the nominee. I will not flip flop on this position.

I won’t stay home this coming election because I want to make sure I vote against my current Congressman and Senator, both up for reelection. They lied to me their last election and I’ll vote for their opponents this time, no matter who they are.

If the Republican candidate is not Trump, I’ll pick a third party candidate.

At this point Trump is the only person I will vote for with an R behind his name. I am done with them.

Baldwin, Cher, Babs Streisand—all in the Uniparty’s left wing have threatened to move overseas, or to Jupiter or to hold their breath until they turn blue if things didn’t go their way.
But they never do, so who cares what that this NR albatross and his ilk also Uniparty threaten to do or not do.

Trump. Not sure what he is, but he ain’t them.

It should have been worded I’ll sit out the next presidential election. I always vote unless there are extreme situations like when I moved a few years ago and didn’t have time to get registered.

Or in primaries because I am not registered D or R. Never have been, never will.

Unless, of course, you are dead or a democrat (but I repeat myself)...

I gave serious thought to changing my registration from R to Independent. I decided I really wanted the chance to vote in primaries against candidates. Now we have a caucus so fat lot of good that will do me :)

While I don’t completely Trust Trump, as it stands now I would vote for Trump in the general election as a giant “Screw you” to the GOPe.
