I'm sure you said the same thing about Romney and McCain.
Actually, no, I didnt. McCain was far from my first choice, but I remembered him from his early days in office when he was much farther right. So, I had residual hope that he might return to past days.
Romney was my absolute last choice in 2012 (shows you how good I am at picking these guys, lol), but I tried to suspend disbelief as well as I could.
But after 2012, I promised myself I’d never vote for a liberal again. Just not gonna do it. Eff trump. He’s a worse option than hitlery. At least, hitlery is dumb as a rock. She’ll fumble around for four years or Bill will take over. And his instincts are more middle of the road. He’s left of center. He’s to the right of hitlery. And he’s way to the right of the communist kenyan anti-christ usurper who is in there now.
trump, on the other hand, though he is ignorant, untutored in many things, and slow on the pickup in key areas, he’s much smarter than hitlery (that’s not saying much), and in my view, he would find it hard not to use the precedents pioneered by his immediate predecessor and expand on them, accretion much power to the executive. In my opinion, it is likely that he will become an authoritarian , and that will be the end of the Republic. With a good dose of crony capitalism mixed in.
Fox. Henhouse.
