I counted on the wisdom of the American people in 2008 and again in 2012. That level of optimism has been beaten out of me. I finally accept what H. L. Mencken knew all along.

If it were Pence at the top I'd give $1000. If Trump loses it will not be the end of the world but he will have himself to blame. He needs to win big. By giving a hundred bucks I can absolve myself of my share of the blame if he loses. He can come up with the rest. This election will not whip me into a frenzy like it does with the loony left. They enjoy being played and it will get much worse in the coming weeks. We have to count on the wisdom of the American people. God help us.
We have to count on the wisdom of the American people....
Except as I told my wife today at lunch when she uttered something like that, look at the last two elections and who won. Upon that I rest my case.

Hillary is a psychotic Nazi. If you thought Obama was bad, you haven't been keeping up with the History of that Witch.
My thoughts exactly, but I wasted a minute finding a picture with H.L. Mencken’s quote.
I most recently gave $100, now approaching $1,000. I have no hesitancy to donate to Trump’s win. Win or lose, he is our candidate. Be enthusiastic as the alternative is Clinton.
Way to go. I’m not up to a thousand but a few hundred and planning more. This is a must win.
The American People don’t always get it right, but more often then not, they do.
I have given $200 this month with two donations of $100 each. Will to the same for October and November.
Pence is a nice man. I’m tired of “nice men”. If you want a woman to run the country— vote for one! I wouldn’t give Pence $.12. Go Trump!! Get off this “Mr. Rogers” Crap.
And the consequence of Hillary is a liberal Supreme Court that will be tantamount to losing every Presidential election and Congressional majority for the next 30 years.
I would vote for Pence if Trump was his running mate but other wise, no way.
Wisdom of the American people? the last two elections shows there are not enough American people left to win an election.
And even the Americans have gotten so comfortable with socialism that they give you a dumbfounded glance if you haul off and say :stinking socialist:
I know, because i say it quite often.
I gave 200.00 for “a signed white cap”. hasn’t arrived yet. Anyone get theirs yet?
Roughly the same here.
My thinking is that I would regret very much having $1000 that I could have donated and that might have made the difference between a Hillary win or a Trump win.
There are no guarantees in politics. However, if Satan himself, properly credentialed, agreed to take $50,000 in exchange for a guaranteed Trump win, I would write the check today.
Mrs. Tell just stated that she would do the same.
Now the dilemma is to figure out how much to send WITHOUT such a guarantee. We could end up with Hillary and without the money. What a sad thought.
“If Trump loses it will not be the end of the world”
I disagree. If Trump loses we can kiss America as we know it good bye. My college educated daughter once said to me, “What’s wrong with Socialism?
They are flaunting corruption in our faces. This may be our last election before they take away any semblance of having a fair election.
Since he started taking donations, I’ve contributed numerous times to Trump and so has my spouse. I want to be part of the last chance to save this once great country for our kids and grand kids.
On what planet??
I got my caps early on without a problem. Hopefully, this is a good sign that they are backed up because of all the donations coming in.
One of my donations was to receive his signed book. They’ve apologized that’s it’s taking so long. I figure, I’ll get it eventually.
Now THAT was a proper response. lol
Frankly I’ve done the opposite as Trump is flying all over doing his best, and; Hillary has access to at least a billion. I darn sure do not want repeats of 2008 and 2012. This is not even close to the America I grew up in. If we do not shut down the border and keep undesirables out-we will have nothing. I recall when this nation was 180 million. We have no idea how much over 300 million it is now. Try driving in areas of larger cities. Even 200K cities are not the same as before. Look at all the division, hatred, foreign flags waved here, etc. Throw these non American SOB’s OUT NOW.
Thanks. I sick of this feminine male crap. Look a Kaine!! My Gawd!! is he a cross dresser?
