I feel like conservatives have been beat down so long under Obama, many are willing to settle for a populist who stands up to the media and the GOPe. Clinton is damaged goods. We should be running a true conservative who can PROVE that conservatism works when you actually try it. If we try being moderate on everything, we will get poor results which will be blamed on conservatism.

Or worse, we could get more left-of-center government. We really do not know for sure how Trump will govern. Maybe he will be a man of his word and stick with conservatism.

But this seems a lot like Bush’s claim he had to suspend free markets to save the free markets. Or, even worse, it is like Pelosi’s argument that we had to vote for the Obamacare bill to see what was in it.

Amen!

Well I would agree, circumstances have forced our hand. It looks more and more like the Trump train is the only plausible train out of Doomland, and the lack of choice is getting us nervous. We can’t plan our destiny here. It looks like do or die.

But maybe it’s the answer to desperate prayer which FINALLY, at LONG LAST, was raised in response to the not four, but eight shocking years of Barack Obama.

I can understand being chary at it. Outwardly the similarity is too close to be ignored.

But I believe God knows what He is doing. If America was, in effect, praying to the devil before this (the devil of false self sufficiency), it reaped Obama as an answer. But now if America has been praying to God, it may be reaping Trump as an answer.
