This is my last column until after the election, so I’d like to address the people least likely to read it: Donald Trump voters. Who knows? Maybe I’ll get lucky and a few of them will buy fish wrapped in this column, and they’ll accidentally peruse it! Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Hillary ass-kissers hear me out. I will never vote for a lying, corrupt, criminal sack of crap that takes money from our enemies, publically destroys the women that her husband sexually abuses.
If, God help America, Hillary is elected I will NEVER consider her the President. I will never address her as a President.
We Jews have a Hebrew word for this type of Jew, “Yehudon” or little Jew and this is not some term I relish. Others might call him (WWII) a “Kapo”.
Tom does his best to maintain a “balance” but he is too far tilted to the Left and he was bought, lock, stock and barrel by the Clintons and Obamas and it makes me want to upchuck...
I am no admirer of Mr. Trump, but Friedman manages to reverse the fundamental character of these two candidates.
Trump is not “an indecent human being.” While his personal life is colorful to say the least, his personal mistakes and misjudgements splashed over the tabloids, he seems to have settled down, and projects a flawed, if basically decent human character.
There are no backdoor/tabloid stories from masses of disgruntled employees about what a horrible boss he was, rather, most of his employees seem to like working for him. He has raised talented kids who seem to earn their keep. He is a braggart, occasionally crude, occasionally full of himself, and has made some scurrilous charges against opponents.
He also seems to understand that the national political process has been corrupted and detached from the general population, and pursues power to fix what he sees as broken.
Mrs. Clinton, is fundamentally “indecent” and her flaws go way beyond “...a weakness for secrecy, occasionally fudges truths, has fawning aides and a husband who lacks discipline when it comes to moneymaking and women.”
Mrs. Clinton’s agenda is first and foremost about the pursuit of both money and power for personal and family benefit. She has no political center, aside from the utility of government largess as a tool to gain money and power. She has latched onto collectivist ideology not from conviction, but from recognition that it empowers government and provides her tools she can use to reward allies and punish enemies.
She is a remarkable combination of arrogance and ignorance. With a faith in her own abilities that is not justified when you look at her record. She habitually blames others for her failures, and treats employees and advisers as servants, dismissing as irrelevant anyone who cannot benefit her directly.
As President, she would enact policies that would cripple our economy, undermine our liberties, and empower her to use government as a club against anyone who opposes her.
Choosing Trump over her is quite possibly the easiest electoral choice I have made since 1984.
Having googled it, I guess it’s Scudder....anyway the points the same
It’s been fifty years since I read it (and that statement makes me feel old)
What these D-bags have going for them is no illegal alien or H1B import will threaten their jobs.
That’s why they can afford to be D-bags.
LOL! One of these jokers just wrote on FB that because we’re so dumb and anti-rational, we would never listen to reasoned academic intellectuals who advise us to vote for Hillary. I went to his home page and his first post was that he gave the finger to an inanimate object (a Trump sign) and had to fight himself not to run it over. So much for that rational stuff.
Hey, guy! Your paper’s profit margin tanked.
Fish wrap is all the NYT is good for.
I don’t read the New York Times and I don’t work for it like Friedman. I’m just an ignorant savage from the “flyover.” Well, Friedman, it’s like Michael Moore said — this will be the biggest FU in history. That’s an FU to you, too.
I wouldn't waste my time, Friedman.
I’m an admirer of Mr. Trump. I get a little tired of freepers who do this virtue-signaling stuff such as “While I feel Trump is a bombastic, vulgar pig who loathes women, he’s still a better choice than Hillary Clinton...” Then why bother voting for him?
That a woman who has been politically active, her entire adult life, among a people with the most successful history of economic achievement over their first century and a quarter, of any people on earth, under a Constitutional Government designed to protect that people from a bureaucratic pestilence, which has been the bane of most nations; that such a woman has so missed the essential point of the American achievement, is staggering in its implications.
Mrs. Clinton claimed that a Clinton Government would rebuild the "Middle Class." Was she totally unaware that the American Middle Class clearly built itself? That the American Middle Class resulted from naturally energized individuals, aspiring to achieve the good life, who risked everything to first clear a wilderness, work hard, generation to generation, to save & accumulate the attributes of the good life; with the result that by 1913--the year that a graduated income tax first became Constitutional, this Settler built Federation of newly settled States, had already surpassed every one of the great powers of Europe in industrial strength.
To "rebuild" the "Middle Class," Mrs. Clinton vowed to make the most successful Americans--those who had achieved the most--pay increased taxes; she called it "paying their 'fair' share." But it was clearly to be a tax on success--a tax to fund a raft of new programs (a cancer or pestilence of an expanded bureaucracy). She was obviously indifferent to the fact that the biggest impediment to any poor person with ambition, actually launching a small business to improve his status, is an almost incomprehensible explosion in bureaucratic regulations, most of which premised on the same flawed understanding of how people actually advance, which Mrs. Clinton displayed, on the 19th.
Americans used to learn by experience. What were the experience based lessons of what transpired from the drafting of our written Constitution in 1787, until the passage of the income tax amendment in 1913? Are they instructive or not, for what actually works for human advancement?
The Constitution prior to 1913, absolutely interdicted a tax driven war on the accumulation of individual wealth. Article I, Section 9, which Mrs. Clinton should have remembered from Law School, provided that no direct tax on individual Americans could be applied in any way but per-capita. (That is Warren Buffet would pay the same tax--not the same percentage tax--but the same tax as Joe the Plumber. The Founders had no desire to limit individual success. They sought only to encourage it.
Under there experience based philosophy, there were almost certainly not even 1% of the bureaucratic regulations, with which Americans seeking to improve their lot, must face today. In place of today's pursuit of grievances, real or imagined, there was universal admiration for the high achievers! And the growth rate of a people freed to achieve, was the economic phenomenon of human history.
We do not pretend to know whether it was in her indoctrination by Marxist Pied Pipers in her late teens, or pure confusion in whatever she is struggling with today. But Mrs. Clinton is utterly clueless on how a dynamic economy works; as she is utterly unaware of the dynamic, interactive factors, that drive or stagnate any human aspiration or achievement. What is absolutely clear, even if one ignores her lack of a moral compass in her political dealings; the woman is absolutely unqualified to be President of the United States.
This is one more reason why we must win this election for Donald Trump.

Articles like this are why Trump is doing well
And Europeans think they’re smarter than us! They are irrational idiots.
The harder they keep calling me ‘uneducated’ the harder I’m pulling the lever for Trump.
Author says “ Hillary clinton is a flawed leader”
Yes, she is leading people to Hell on earth and by her examples to others of what to try to get away with, possible eternal Hell.
zat you Rahm?
I disagree. It’s a window into the left’s mindset.
We need to know exactly how disdainfully and condescendingly they look upon huge swaths of their fellow citizens.
It’s important to know and it’s important to document it.
