I hate Donald Trump. But he might get my vote.

No Trump campaign buttons or bumper stickers for me. I’m part of the new silent majority: those who don’t like Donald Trump but might vote for him anyway. For many of us, Trump has only one redeeming quality: He isn’t Hillary Clinton. He doesn’t want to turn the United States into a politically correct, free-milk-and-cookies, European-style social democracy where every kid (and adult, too) gets a trophy just for showing up.

Members of this new silent majority, many of us front-wave baby boomers, value hard work and love the United States the way it was. We long for a bygone era when you didn’t need “safe spaces” on college campuses to shelter students from the atrocity of dissenting opinions, lest their sensibilities be offended. We have the reckless notion that college is the one place where sensibilities are supposed to be challenged and debated. Silly us....

Fascinating propaganda that would do Goerhing proud!

I’ll have to examine this hit piece tomorrow.
It’s a piece of art.

My ex mother-in-law’s husband is a flaming liberal and is voting for Donald. He does have a Hillary bumper sticker on his car so his buddies don’t harass him.

Whatever your rational is, pull the lever for Trump & bring your friends.

The author doesn’t like Trump because he is a bully. He must really hate the bully/dictator Obama.

I don’t care if you like it or not, vote Trump! Otherwise America is screwed.

Schizophrenia, or at least cognitive dissonance, is alive and well at the Washington Post! ;-)

On a serious note, now we are beginning to see why the “conservatives” have been rolling over for the progressives. They think that standing up for their principles in more that an academic way is “bullying”! No wonder they hate the “Tea Party”! They see the Tea Party as a bunch of bullies trying to force their “club” to do things differently. Same for Christians who are just trying to bully the poor perverts with their moral principles.

The author is a moron, nevertheless he might do the right thing. Fine. Otherwise he is as uninteresting as it is possible to be.

Here’s what he’s saying:

“Donald Trump might save my country, but I’m not grateful to him. It’s more important to me to preen and strut, telling myself I’m better than he is.”

You mean Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister.

Goering was the Luftwaffe commander.

[Fungi]

The WA Compost kissing ass and covering their ass. That is how I view it.

[Just mythoughts]

Trump got four Obama loving in-laws to vote for him in the MO primary. I still am in shock over those votes. There is no bigger bully than the present government bureaucracy. Unfortunately, so called conservatives lust to ride over the bully government infrastructure. Just read their ‘policy’ papers.

As always, the real learning experience is reading the commentary and the reaction of the slimy, hating left. They really don't see what they are doing, and the logical result of their true clinical stupidity.

I just hope they are not so dim as to think we are going to let them drag us over the cliff. I could describe the solution, but it isn't very Christian...

I see no other candidates thartare standing up for America, its Americans, or the Constitution like Trump. The others are Commie sellouts who see no value in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, one of which I know would arm our enemies and sell them intel for $$$. Trump is the only real choice I see that has any chance of delivering us from the Hell that Obama, ValJar, and Soros have planned for us.

Well please do it first thing in the morning!

I think the key is in the title. The author is worried about back-sliders, whoever they may be. It's a remarkable admission that such a mentality even exists ... i.e. a secret attraction to Trumpism.

I believe there is a few more variations of this political creature out there. I remember some state polls during the primaries that showed Trump with 65% unfavorable/very unfavorable and he won the state with 48% of the vote. Maybe we are seeing this in today’s head to head polls with 15-20% no choice.

Best election ever!

This gomer: 2nd Div. Vet., has found a calling, denigrating DJT, using his credentials as some sort of get out of jail free card. I say- pound sand!

[2ndDivisionVet]

This is a positive article genius.

[clintonh8r]

The comments after the article reveal how afraid the libtard loons are of the possibility of a Trump win. They are coming unhinged and I am celebrating their psychopathic paranoia....

[TexasCruzin]

Sounds to me like he likes Trump quite a bit. So do I for many of the same reasons.
