Your stated sentiments are shared by many. Many of us are being left in an ‘impossible situation’ with the choices we are being left with. I blame the person who I would rather see in the race (even now) for this train-wreck we are being forced to watch.
I know what you mean, and do understand your thinking, but I think we know if said candidate had gotten in, it would have been a trillion times worse. Even though the enemy would have had NOTHING but their old schtick to fall back on, they would have been ruthless, and RELENTLESS and no one, not friends or family or supporters would have been off the table.
We do indeed now have a true political ruling class, no less formidable than King George and they do NOT want to go back to being our servants. And sad to say, with waay too many of the American people only believing what the glowing box tells them, it is going to be a heckova battle to turn this thing around.
But like it or not, (and I am one of the many here who is looking at their 2nd or 3rd or 4th choice), we have to play with the cards we have left, and of those, we must coalesce strongly behind ONE candidate. The one who we think has the best shot at taking down the entire enemy camp - 0, TheMedia, TheLeft and TheRepubElites, because that is what it will take to win this.
May God grant us strength, wisdom and courage.
