Trump is the most conservative VIABLE candidate we have. Nit perfectly conservative but conservative enough on the biggest issues. Abortion, eminent domain, and ethanol are deck chairs on the titanic right now.

I'm a big believer in reality. The reality is Trump is the only one who can defeat the Clinton Machine with all the trimmings of voter fraud, the various subgroups and all the usual Clinton shenanigans. Trump will respond to every attack, and with gusto!

Time to review again what Buckley said in the article:

William Buckley, speaking in 1967 of The National Review's policy towards elections, said, "Our guiding principle has always been to select the most conservative viable candidate...The wisest choice would be the one who would win... the most right, viable candidate who could win."

That does it for me. .

You put perspective to the conservative's dilemma.

By the way, I am adamantly against abortions. 60,000,000 million abortions in just America alone. That being said, no one would ever force me to get an abortion, were I a woman, so I put the blame where it lies- in other words, these women willfully obtained their abortions. At a minimum, self inflicted wounds to their psyche. The soul of our nation is badly eroded and is spiritually under attack. As sad as it is to say, expecting such a compromised electorate to elect a pure orthodox conservative candidate is wishful thinking.

Trump is neither conservative, nor viable.

Only the infatuated will follow him to the bottom.
