The very best thing we can do is recognize that Trump is less than what we'd like in a candidate, so we should just sit this one out and NOT work our butts off to help him get elected.
This strategy worked very well for us when McCain was our candidate.
And again when Romney was the man.
Obama was not that bad as president. Hillary can't be much worse.
/sarcasm
WAKE THE HELL UP, PEOPLE!!
You forgot to use some code words, so Hillary can link you to the Vast Alt-Rightwing Conspiracy that is out to get her.
I'm not a Trump fan, and even less now that he seems a bit squishy on immigration.
That said, we have a very fine Country to worry about, with vanishing borders, freedoms, Constitutional rights, and our way of life.
So, for everyone just like me (who winces when he or she thinks of a President Trump), vote for Mike Pence for VEEP, (which means Trump for Pres) and feel good that you are keeping the country from a powermad tyrant in a hideous pantsuit.
This is not a time to sit-out or waste a vote on a losertarian just for spite.
.
If all he does is build the wall and enforce current law it would be a complete turnaround from 30 years of bipartisan policy of non-enforcement.
Well now that is just not true.
I have a daughter who was "feeling the Bern" and who hates Hillary Clinton. I doubt very much that I can convince her to vote for Trump and I am concerned that I might drive her to Hillary if I'm not careful.
As it is, I have hopes that she will sit out the election or vote third party. That would be worthwhile.
Smooches all around, Jim!
These purist zealots and the snowflakes around here are treacherous and a threat to the Republic.
Worse than anything, these traitors to democracy lend aid and comfort to the enemy, both foreign and domestic.
I will not be playing beg-a-vote with these coddled thumbsuckers. They’re down there reading The Last Battle and living on sloth.
Zot their @azz if they can’t get out of the foxhole and man their station.
Amen.
He’s not going squishy.
Stop believing the propagandists.
Get involved in your local precincts, it really spreads and it helps with getting Trump/Pence into the White House...
Glenn Beck not only is not going to vote for Trump, he is actively dissing him every day on his program.
I’ll never forgive him for that, along with a growing list of other ‘repubs’.
Ryan, Romney, Bush, Bush, Bush and more. Add Cruz for his non-endorsement speech.
Never forget and or forgive.
DESTROY iSLAM
Or at least get that jihadi out of the White House.
I continue to run into co-workers who have not heard a single Trump Rally. All they get are the short sound bites from whatever channel TV or radio they’re listening to.
What amazes me, is that we’re talking, in many cases about highly educated people with full time jobs. People in management and people who are the indians in our businesses who just follow orders.
I can only assume that many people are more consumed with their day to day lives at work, and with their families, that they haven’t had time, or made time to listen to anything related to the candidates.
When I talk with them, they seriously dis like both candidates, but they’re skewed into this thinking that Trump is a racist, a sexist, a bully, and a this and a that.
Maybe I might accept that he is a strong willed person, and a New Yorker. These people tend to walk over you if they’re going for something they want.
But dammit, the presidency is a “Bully Pulpit!” and it’s time that we had a strong leader running things.
In short, I really expect that this election will get into crunch time very soon like it did with Reagan and Carter. It happened after the 1st debate, stoked by the terrible Iranian debacle that made us all look foolish.
Funny, how the Iranians are doing it again to us. They have disdain for Obama and probably Clinton too. I expect them to keeping poking our eye until we look pathetic.
Somebody should make a poster showing just such a Supreme Court. Or perhaps three of Ginsburg, three of Kagan, and three of Sotomayor.
The caption can suggest some of the new fundamental rights they will find in the Constitution; the right to a free college education, the right to a paid cell phone, etc.
You seem to be a fan of Churchill. Trump is the closest thing we have seen in our lifetimes. Illegal immigration is already against the law. If Trump does absolutely nothing except enforce existing laws, then the illegal problem will solve itself. The Islamization of western civilization is much more of a threat than any thing else and Trump is the first one ever to attempt to stop that.
Add in all the other issues like SC nominees, tax policy, debt and spending, and defense and you have much more than enough reasons to be a fan of Trump.
but Jim, Trump one time in 1924 or maybe it was 1925 said something or someone said he said something that is opposite of my one issue. How can I support a man who doesn’t agree with me on 100% of every single thing!!!! That’s just crazy talk!
**Sitting it out IS NOT AN OPTION!!**
You are so right.
Everyone needs to get into that ballot box and vote Trump.
We know full well that Hillary is lying about the Second Amendment. If she is elected she will do everything in her power, including packing the Supreme Court, to confiscate every gun in America.
Perhaps, then, it would not be all that unreasonable for Trump to "mis-speak" about some of his policies if it helps him to get elected. There is a reason that our Founders opted to create a Constitutional Republic and NOT a democracy. Majority rule always costs the minority.
I have no confidence that the majority of Americans will do the right thing if allowed to pick and choose regarding every policy detail.
It would probably be sufficient for Trump to destroy sanctuary cities and implement strong disincentives for illegal immigrants to remain in the U.S. If they can't get jobs or welfare, then they will self-deport. They chose to come here against the laws of the U.S. I would support policies that encourage them to choose going back to Mexico.
IMHO, the number one reason Trump must win is because of what Killary will do to the SCOTUS if she wins. Those are lifetime jobs. We’re looking at easily 60 years of extreme liberalism. Nothing will be left of our Founders dream after that.
Everyone needs to get into that ballot box and vote Trump.**
I wish we could ask for a copy of our vote to check to see that it wasn’t changed to someone else.
Secret ballot — I know.
