(NY Times) Save the Republican Party: Vote for Clinton
NY Times ^ | September 5, 2016 | James K. Glassman

Posted on 09/06/2016 6:16:42 AM PDT by Zakeet

Every day, I run into Republican friends who can't stomach a vote for Donald J. Trump but don't know what to do. Vote for Hillary Clinton, who has trouble with the truth, wants to raise taxes and opposes free trade with Asia? Vote for the Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, an outlier who once ran a marijuana business and embraces isolationism? Or not vote at all, maintaining a certain purity but allowing others to decide the next president?

I faced exactly these choices myself. I have voted for every Republican nominee for president since 1980, but I will not this time. Mr. Trump’s appalling temperament renders him unfit to be president, and his grotesque policy formulations mock the principles of liberty and respect for the individual that have been the foundation of the Republican Party since Abraham Lincoln.

[Snip]

I'm voting for Mrs. Clinton because, despite her deficiencies, she will make a better president. But I have another reason. Defeating Mr. Trump soundly will help save the Republican Party. If he wins, a party built on freedom and internationalism will become entrenched as a party of authoritarianism and isolation, which means that within a few years it will atrophy and die.

[Snip]

If you really think that Mr. Trump is a threat to your country, the right thing to do is to take the next step. Don't just say you won't vote for him. Vote against him.

Us libtard newsers at the Times are full of good advice for the party we love!

Panic time in the MSM.

They’re again urging Republicans to defect to the Democrats.

Hahahahaha! Very subtle. Good luck with it.

Hey Glassman, if Democrats don’t like Hillary and aren’t enthused about her, why should we?

Just sayin’.

#NeverTrumpers love America so much they want to inflict another decade of Obamaism upon it.

Americans are sick of it and want real change and that what Trump will deliver.

Change to make America great again. This conservative will vote Trump!

In memory of Phyllis Schlafly.

The NY Times Cares about the GOP. Kind of gives one the warm and fuzzies.

****************

No question about it. They are running scared now.

Watch the media’s reaction to the Commander in Chief forum tomorrow night. Trump can hit it out of the park and they will say he struck out. The narrative has already been written to promote Hillary.

The Times believes Hillary opposes free trade with Asia? Why would she?

If he doesn’t win, it dies on November 9. Their version of freedom and internationalism is actually low wages, no benefits, and welfare for American workers.

Yup. They will never treat Trump fairly.

The American people know it.

I thought Hillary! had the election locked up.

Why does the NYT sound so desperate?

Well, they have an interest in helping the GOP remain the spineless "opposition" party.

Uniparty globalism.

Glassman apparently is not listening to the American people and what they want.

If they really wanted Hillary, this election would already be over.

I guess we’ll have to vote to send the Washington establishment and clueless media pundits our message.

I am glad he was able to come up with such specific criticisms.

Its entertaining fiction, very entertaining fiction.

News for Glassman - Trump is already getting 90% of GOP voters. He’ll pick up a few more points as he looks like he will win.

Got ahead and vote for Hillary - I’m reminded of the old, true and trite saying, “misery loves company.”

Go join the miserable wretch from Chappaqua. Sane Americans aren’t.
