When Trump announced his candidacy i made the prediction then that he would, in effect, get someone else elected but not a GOP candidate. My rational was that he’d split the vote whether he got the nomination or note. If he got the nomination people wouldn’t be able to hold their nose and pull the lever. If he didn’t he’d claim he was shafted and run a third party ticket splitting the vote ala Ross Perot.
I wavered in that belief after the convention but have returned to that point of view. Obviously he’s won the nomination... people are going to struggle holding their nose the more he forces them to cover their ears to drown out his gaffs.
For the record I’m holding my nose and voting Trump but want to tweak his nose when he pulls a doozie.
Well .. I’d take Trump any day over ANY DEMOCRAT.
Frankly, I think the whole “Trump gaffe” thing is largely overblown baloney. Trump says something true but which is outside the media-defined circle of “acceptable” discourse, the MSM and Dems and GOP establishment hyperventilate, and the media try to work up a fake tizzy about it.
I will boldly enter the voting booth November 8 holding nothing but love for my country. It’s TRUMP 2016!! or bust. And I’m excited there is no mccain or romney this time!
