I'm really trying to believe the old school freepers here as the recent / new ones seem to be in the "vote Trump or you suck" sort of solution

Dear Squantos, I am an "old-school freeper" here, having joined the forum in March 1998. I regard myself as, not only a constitutional conservative, but also an economic and social conservative as well.

I do not say "vote Trump or you suck." What I do say is, please, bring reason and evidence to bear in judging him.

What I am not is an ideological conservative of, say, the Mark Levin school. He is one of the most brilliant intellects and constitutional scholars we have. But I believe him to be long on ideology, and short on common sense. Or to put it in Christian terms, long on doctrine and short on Grace.

JMHO, FWIW.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me!

I’ll vote for Trump in the general over Hillary or Sanders or any other Rat.

That said, I do so full of regret, feeling that I am voting for a possible Mussolini, who cares no more about the Constitution than Obama.

Even so, if he stops the immivasion, it will be worth it. But I don’t expect a free or fair election in 2020, no matter who wins in 2016. We are at the end of an age. I feel like we are in the 1930s, and things will happen fast and black swans will be swarming all over.

Given a choice between a .357 between the eyes, a gram of arsenic, or a gram of cyanide, there is only one rational choice.

Given a choice between Lenin, Hitler and Mussolini, there is only one choice.

But don’t look for me out there goose-stepping with the euphoric fanatics of the cult of personality of Donito Trumpolini.

What an excellent way to describe why conservatives are supporting Donald Trump. Eloquent too, I might add. I hope lots of skeptical Freepers see your explanation and take the time to examine their own feelings about him in that context.

Thank you.
