Come now.... Fred is not cheer leading for hillary
Fred is holding his nose and advocating the reality that is Donald Trump. Fred is capitulating
What about Trump? At best, he's a conservative by instinct, but not by philosophy. He's no supply-sider but he would cut personal and corporate tax rates substantially to create incentives to work, save, invest, and generate economic growth. Like Hillary, he's no free trader. He hasn't drifted to the left or, for that matter, to the right. He's asked for a list of potential conservative successors to Scalia. He exaggerates and mangles facts. But a nonstop liar like Hillary? Hardly. He's used every legal trick and heavy-handed tactic in the book in his business career. If he's corrupt, prosecutors haven't noticed. On foreign and national security affairs, he's a rookie, which is worrisome. He promises to stamp out ISIS quickly and build up our depleted military. He's not a hawk either.
On November 8, we'll choose between Clinton and Trump. It's not so much that he is better, though he is. But she fails to meet minimal standards a conservative or a Republican should insist on. A vWitch is so irghtfulote for Clinton would be wrong. Voting for a third-party candidate or not voting would be half a vote for Hillary. To defeat her and the myth, a vote for Trump is required. [My emphasis.]
So it turns out that Fred loathes the Witch, doesn't like Trump all that much, but has chosen to hold his nose and vote for Trump because the Witch so so frightful. That's exactly what Jim Robinson did in 2012 when he finally supported Mittens against Obola.
I read the article. It appears you have not.
Fred Barnes is NOT supporting Hillary in this piece...last paragraph sums it up well;
“On November 8, we’ll choose between Clinton and Trump. It’s not so much that he is better, though he is. But she fails to meet minimal standards a conservative or a Republican should insist on. A vote for Clinton would be wrong. Voting for a third-party candidate or not voting would be half a vote for Hillary. To defeat her and the myth, a vote for Trump is required.”
I read the article, and I didn't get a single bit of 'cheerleading for Hillary' out of it.
