I am no fan of Trump. I think he's immoral, sleazy, a bully, dishonest, thin-skinned, and megalomaniacal.

That said, Clinton is worse. Much worse.

Assuming Trump doesn't do or say something colossally stupid within the next 3 months to completely alienate me (not a safe assumption), I will most likely cast a vote for him with the simple hope that, if he wins, he will prove to be a human bomb that goes off in DC, disrupting the current ruling elite whose policies are leading to the dissolution of the country.

Trump wasn’t my first or second choice...but he’s got my vote.

He’s surrounding himself with good people like Pence and Guiliani.

And he’s a tenacious fighter. His speech last night in Wisconsin was brilliant.

We understand that, at least for this election, we must be "single-issue voters". That is, we must perform the most important responsibility of all citizens who truly love our country and who are grateful for our precious liberty -- that being to protect and preserve our Constitution with our vote ... and our Constitution surely needs a strong defense from the Left.

Nothing else is as important and nearly all other issues will be irrelevant if our Constitution were to fall to the idealism of the Left.

Guess the latest book failed to sell. His fans were definitely not liberals.

The never-Trumpers will feel smug and self-righteous in their role as useful idiots for the Dems, while sitting in their gulag cell, watching all of their assets being redistributed, compliments of the Clinton gang.

Jeff Sessions supporting him is enough for me. Sessions is one of the true patriots. He is cast in the mold of the Founders.

Situation reminds me of the hilarious scene in the original “In Laws” movie where CIA agent Peter Falk and dentist Alan Arkin have been tied blindfolded to posts, preparatory to their execution by a Latin American dictator.

Arkin: OK, what’s the plan?
Falk: The plan? What plan? Do you have a plan?
Arkin: No, the plan do get us out of this! (Despair)
Falk: Oh, that plan. There is no plan, Shelley. Do you have a plan?
Arkin (wild demented laughter)”I’ve only had four women.”

It gets wilder and crazier from the very first scene to this one near the end. One of my favorite comedies.

Wish someone who knows how would go to IMDB.com and paste the picture from the title of this scene.

I think you’re proceding from a faulty premise: that most of the #nevertrump folks give a flying fig about the US or are “conservative” in the sense that you and I understand the term. What I’ve seen of the #nevertrumpers are some neocon scum (read: warmongers), with a lot of establishment folks. Basically, they’re the Vichy republicans who stand lose if the longterm arrangement with the ‘rats is disturbed.

The problem with these folks, other than they’re often ass***** is that they don’t see or don’t care that the status quo can’t continue.

You won’t have to wait long.

There is a article in the Houston Chronicle (thread yanked) indicating that a majority of Texans would favor secession if hitlery wins the election.

If that unfortunate course of events is pursued, the US is as much as done.

I was supporting Cruz until about a week after Trump announced. He has unapologetically cast Political Correctness, and Kumbaya-ism to the curb.

He names names. He points out what is killing the Country.
He is working harder, and with more energy to earn our trust and votes than any candidate I’ve ever seen.

He has never smoked, drank or used drugs, yet he’s no goody two shoes. His life is an open book. Interviews with him on the economy and country from twenty years ago, show him to be consistent.

He is obviously healthy. He is a visionary, as evidenced by his business success.

His opponent’s vision is one of snuffing out the last hope many of us have to retain the America we saw as a land of opportunities and dreams of our own choosing. She is a person who has been in the pockets of wealthy foreign interests, and those who, like her, wish to increase their own fortunes and power at the expense of regular Americans.

She appears to be quite unhealthy. Even her closest aide, Huma Abedin described her as “often confused.”

I assume those #nevertrumpers who think that Our Country can survive four years of Clinton, and then put forth the perfect Constitutional Conservative who will save the last vestiges of America are delusional, liars, or think the Rapture is imminent.

I am not under those illusions, delusions, or religious sentiments. I am not for allowing hundreds of thousands of
Unvetted Refugees into the Country, nor Open Borders, nor the weakening of the 2nd Amendment. I am tired of being called a racist by groups like La Raza, and Black Lives Matter whose paycheck is signed by George Soros.

Sheesh, why I am I even trying to explain this? I think it boils down to Trump or Adios America.

That’s how I see Trump, kind of our “Operation Chaos” that will throw the whole thing out of whack.

Life is all a matter of choices we have to make everyday to function. Elections are no different. We have to choose. The one from Column A or the one from Column B?

It's between Trump and HilLIARy. So stand up and choose. I hate these whiny GOP elite types or ex-Cruz supporters who say they just can't vote for Trump because he says mean things but will vote for HiLIARy even though she is the most distrusted, corrupt, unindicted criminal in America.

Where the frick are these people's moral compasses? They have none? There is no moral equivalency between Trump and Clinton.

Trump is a successful businessman versus Clinton, who has a long list of lies, dead bodies, corruption, graft and criminal activity trailing behind her. It's not a pretty picture.

These traitorous GOP elites who claim they will vote for her instead of their own party's nominee, reveal more about their true selves and hidden agendas, than the vote itself. The sage advice that "you are who you rub elbows with in life", is never truer than the case of these snobs voting for Clinton.

I too am not a Trump fan. But I’m voting for him. There are only two reasons, which, determine the fate of the USA. Immigration, and SCOTUS. If Hillary gets in there is no recovering from the unleashed communist misery in our life times.

RE: Trump’s “Character”. See below for the non-advertised and non rally mode of who Trump is and tell me if you’ve ever known a politician that would do these sort of things.


2011
Bought a kid a new bicycle because his was stolen. Not a big deal but....
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/29/donald-trump-answers-10-y_n_940356.html

1995
http://www.upi.com/Archives/1995/11/11/More-than-500000-watch-Nations-Parade/4721816066000/
‘Donald Trump saved the parade,’ said parade director Tom Fox, himself a Vietnam veteran. ‘We had asked for donations from 200 corporations, and none of them came through,’ he said.

Same instance
http://www.nytimes.com/1995/11/10/nyregion/veterans-day-parade-tries-for-a-comeback.html
Organizers received no contributions from the 200 corporations they asked, among them military contractors to whom they presented documentation of profits made on weapons used in World War II.
“Zippo, dada, zilch,” Mr. Fox said. “Nothing from Northrup, United Technologies, none of them. To me, it’s a sin.”


2013
This time a million dollars, same parade I think
http://www.businessinsider.com/history-of-nyc-veterans-day-parade-2013-11#ixzz3gRZM8wQn
But soon the UWVC, and the New York Veterans Day parade began to grow, in part because of a $1 million matching donation from Donald Trump, and the parade began to grow.

1985
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/05/07/nyregion/new-york-pays-homage-to-vietnam-veterans.html
The centerpiece of the commission’s effort is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a glass-block wall, 70 feet long and 16 feet high, which is etched with excerpts from 83 letters - including Sergeant Calamia’s - that were written by or to the soldiers who served in America’s most unpopular war.

‘’It’s not just brick and mortar,’’ said Donald Trump, the real-estate executive who donated $1 million of the $2.5 million raised by the commission, which is also charged with financing programs for unemployed local veterans. ‘’It’s very much a living monument.’’

‘’I was a very strong opponent of the Vietnam War,’’ he said, ‘’but I also recognized that the people who went to fight were great Americans. I always thought they got a bad shake in life and never got their just recognition.’’

2013
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/11/03/trump-offers-10g-to-hero-bus-driver.html
Real estate mogul Donald Trump announced Friday that he would offer a $10,000 reward to the Buffalo bus driver who stopped a young woman from leaping off a bridge to her death two weeks ago.
Trump announced his intention via a Tweet that said “The bus driver who saved the woman from jumping off the bridge was a really cool, great guy. I’m going to send him 10-thousand dollars he deserves it!”

2008
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20239470,00.html
Donald Trump doesn’t just have the golden touch for business – he also has a heart of gold.
The real-estate mogul has been housing Former American Idol Contestant Jennifer Hudson and some of her relatives at the Trump International Hotel & Tower free of charge.
“She’s a great girl. And we’re protecting them well” “They are very safe.”
Hudson has been seeking refuge at the Trump holding since her mother, brother and nephew were murdered in Chicago on Oct. 24.

1988
http://www.jta.org/1988/07/20/archive/orthodox-child-with-rare-ailment-is-rescued-aboard-tycoons-jet
Trump made his plane available for the special trip to New York after the boy’s parents, Judy and Harold Ten, called Trump and told him of their plight.
Commercial airlines refused to fly the child because he could not travel without an elaborate life-support system, which includes a portable oxygen tank, a suction machine, a breathing bag and an adrenaline syringe.

1986
https://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczynski/donald-trump-once-saved-a-womans-farm-from-foreclosure?utm_term=.aqk95DonA#.uc9zpkqae
It was September 1986, and Annabel Hill, 66, was facing an auction where she would lose the farm that had been in her family for five generations.
Hill’s husband, Lenard, had committed suicide eight months earlier, 20 minutes before a scheduled auction, in a last-ditch attempt to save his property with life insurance money. The life insurance money wasn’t enough, covering only $175,000 of debts than ran in excess of $300,000, from two years of a drought that Hill said had ruined their livelihood. Even when several hundred acres of the 1,300-acre Waynesboro, Georgia, farm were sold, the now-widowed Annabel still found herself deep in debt and facing an auction.
That’s when real estate tycoon Donald Trump and a series of other personalities stepped in to help save Hill’s farm.

2014

Donald Trump has promised a $25,000 donation to Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, the Marine released Friday from a Mexican prison after 214 days of confinement and physical abuse.
