What if The good judge is correct? Well, for one thing the folks who would have to worry about black clad gummint folks would be a different group than if Hillary wins. That is reason enough for me. So even worse case scenario with Trump is better than any case with Hillary.

The truth is hard to swallow frequently. Nixon was probably the most Progressive GOP candidate EVER. And THAT was why they hated him so much. He peeled ALL there issues and a good deal of the Rat voters away from them. And THAT was why he had to go.

“Yeah and what if Trump lives America and wants the constitution to be defended?”

If you evaluate Trump and Clinton on a small government/large goverment axis, the article has some validity.

But if you evaluate them on a belief in the greatness of America and American culture, then they come from entirely different worldviews and their presidencies will look very very different. HRC thinks America and especially white Americans are evil and have an evil history. Trump the opposite. Those point in two profoundly different directions.

If they agree on anything they certainly disagree on more.

What if the judge is being paid by Hillary?

What if one would eviscerate three Constitutional Amendments (1,2,4) and one would not?

What if one will appoint 2 perhaps 3 SCJs who will rule on feelings and political whims and one will not?

What if one seeks the reordering of our country through immigration and regulation and one does not?

What if one obtained 100% of her vast wealth through and because of her willingness to help the politically favored for a price and one obtained his by persuading people to buy something from him?

What if one seeks to funnel the wealth of taxes to her social justice warriors, using tax dollars to enslave tax payers, and one does not?

Neither may have the correct principles but one seeks to impose her principles on us and one does not.

I wish Trump were a principled conservative but it is enough for me that he does not seek my outright destruction. With Trump we have a chance at 4 more years of relative freedom with the other we will not.

One's core beliefs are reflected in one's children. Donald Jr., Chelsea.

I don't really need to say much more than that.

The good judge is in the weeds. His support of Ludwig Von Mises’ critique of socialism and support for free enterprise as the only moral economic system leaves little room for supporting Hillary or opposing Trump. This article is completely spurious. It ought to have been written with an “/s.”

If patriots approached Trump to discuss the fed’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers with him, I think that he would listen.

If patriots approached Hillary to discuss the fed’s Section 8-limited powers with her, I wouldn’t be surprised if she responded only with her signature cackle.

If they have the exact same core beliefs, then we aren’t any worse off with Trump than Clinton. But if there is any difference at all, then Trump is most likely the one who leans in our favor.

I generally like Judge Andrew Napolitano. I like my parents and siblings too. There are times when I wish they would just take a pass on saying things.

It’s all about judgement, and today we have only one choice before us as it relates to the presidency.

Do you want Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump to lead this nation for the next four years.

The time to discuss Trump’s pluses and minuses was during the nomination process. It is not now.

This is not the moment to state that the world won’t come to and end if either person is elected. It is time to state that our nation will be seriously harmed if one of them is elected. I think we as Conservatives know who is the bigger threat.

Waxing rhapsodic right now on what commonality there is between Clinton and Trump, is defeatist. It causes folks to say to themselves, “Why bother? Why should I vote? It doesn’t make any difference!” And here the good judge actually tries to link to that way of thinking. Good God man!

Well, it sure as hell does matter if we vote Trump or not.

I’m hearing folks out there state that Trump is a loose canon. They wish he’d remain presidential. They rip him based on this point. I’m here to mention one small fact that they seem to overlook. Trump may not contain himself like we would wish, but is Hillary going to contain herself better when it comes to issues we hold dear? Hell no!

At the end of the day, we have to determine which of these people cares most about our principles. Which one comes closest to defending them?

Hillary Clinton hates everything we stand for. There is no doubt that she will seriously damage our nation. She swears she will in public. Of course she doesn’t think of it that way, but we know what her policies will mean to the nation. In light of that, why are we obsessing over the little stuff?

I wish well meaning folks on the right would get with the program. Support Trump. Let’s end this Obama/Clinton nightmare.

Well that’s how I see it. Others want to express their displeasure with Trump saying something they didn’t like on social issues. Folks, focus!

It’s the big picture.

Trump / Clinton?

Some of us can’t see this yet? Really?

What if the idiot Never Trumpers GROW THE HELL UP and realize the significance of the divide between Trump and Hillary???

Probably only in Fairyland, which is exactly what they will get with Hillary and Tim Kaine in the White House.

I am not terribly worried about Trump being a big gov/small gov president, because ultimately that will be decided by interest rates rather than the president. Trump knows that interest rates are about to go up, and he is smart enough to know what that means to government borrowing.
