No, Trump Isn’t Actually Better than Hillary
National Review Online ^ | March 29, 2016 | David French

Posted on 03/30/2016 7:11:35 AM PDT by C19fan

Those of us who’ve pledged that we will never, ever vote for Donald Trump always get the same response: “You’d put Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office instead?” Clinton’s name is spoken like an epithet, as if it’s unthinkable that any conservative would take any single action that could facilitate her election. I will not, under any circumstances, vote for Clinton, but I also do not believe that Trump would make a better president. Not because Clinton isn’t as bad as you think, but because Trump is worse than you imagine.

Either Cruz has always been a stealth candidate of the GOPe or he sold himself out.


Cruz is a bought and paid for career politician. He will say or do whatever he thinks is best to advance his career.

To: All

In the last 25 years, we’ve had presidents from BOTH parties...All of them were Washington insiders and “professional politicians”. They all had campaigns and promised the American people that they would do great things if elected. The media, the lobbyists, the elite, and the Washington insider crowd cheered them on...They gave speeches, had international parties, traveled the world...They looked somber on TV when discussing problems...

Yet, NOTHING was ever accomplished...

They sat back and enjoyed the fruits of your labor, your vote, your apathy...The “establishment elite” still talked them up and your listened and nodded your heads...

Now, a candidate comes in and says he is really going to do things to help America and the American people, you and me...The media, the “establishment elite” and the Washington insiders all excoriate him...They try to shout him down and ridicule him???

They are so scared that he will take the ‘easy life” they have all enjoyed for so long at YOUR expense, that they will do or say ANYTHING to stop him.

Why are a lot of you people going along with the “establishment elite” in this???

Do you just want to continue on the same path the country has been on for the last 25-30 years?????

Sorry to disappoint you, you'll have to look elsewhere for some 12 year olds if that's what you're searching for.

I just had to read the source of the headline, and knew what it was about. They mean nothing to me anymore.

The trouble with Trump is that you have a “strongman” personality backed by supporters seeking such a type, coming in on the heels of an administration that has radically strengthened executive power in the face of a weak, irresolute legislative branch. That’s how the Roman Republic met its end.

They can all die in a fire as far as I am concerned.

I support Trump and have grown to detest Cruz and many of his supporters. But you are way out of line with that comment.

I already posted your post. Trump has significant ties to other countries. Who is pulling his strings?

"So called conservative thought leaders," contains the relevant qualifier. National Review has apparently decided to go for broke in an effort to take down the genuine new blood in the Conservative movement. A great pity--but they have made their bed, now.

Again, Trump: Metaphor For American Conservatism.

I will stake my credentials as a traditional American Conservative over more than sixty years, against theirs any day.

Maybe 10, 12 appears to be overly generous.
