Many on the right have come forward in the past few days to outline why they will never vote for Trump, and their reasons are articulate, principled, eloquent, and moving. If it wasn’t already abundantly clear from the last eight months, let me join the chorus; I will never vote for Donald Trump.
Never.

RINOs can vote for the Beast, which most probably want to do anyway. Buncha damn libs.
So explain the difference to me, please. When asked, Trump admits he has given hundreds of thousands of dollar to Democrats in campaign contributions. He readily admits he has and his purpose was to “make deals.” What is the difference? So Trump is a guy who has no moral compass, he gives money for favors and that money keeps the politicians of abortion, big government, illegal immigration in power. My next question if Trump is POTUS he will obviously still own his companies, will he or managers continue to donate to the democrats to “make deals”?
I’ll crawl through broken glass to vote against Hillary or Sanders. Anyone but them! Sorry but I still remember the Clinton years and I despised every single minute he was in the White House and now the thought of having them there again..... I shudder at the thought!! Hell NO!!
DT is doing less than ZERO to assuage the fears and policy concerns of we who once somewhat supported him. He’s driven US away and has his cult attack us for his amusement. I almost wish Cruz and Rubio WOULD team up.
Add another to the list one that the RNC needs to revoke credentials from to the coming convention.
Let’s see, we have:
Glenn Beck
That Cunningham guy
Erick Erickson
Doug Heye
Rick Wilson
Let’s keep the list going. As they come out with their declaration that they will not support the eventual nominee if it is Donald Trump, we need to hold their feet to the fire.
This is really so great, to drive a plow right through both sides of the problem at the same time! It can’t get much better than this!
It’s called freedom, Rick Wilson. WELCOME to America.
‘Get over it’: Justice Scalia’s most memorable quotes
“How many times has the GOPe told us to hold our noses and vote when their candidate comes out on top of the primary process. But when a non-GOPe guy wins they smash the chess board. “
Bears repeating.
‘Get over it’: Justice Scalia’s most memorable quotes
GOPe is backing Rubio and I’ve heard they spent a lot of money in Nevada to put him in first place. Remember Rubio and the Gang of 8 who put through an amnesty bill that will help the illegals, against any input from ICE.
Get over someone who supports Planned Parenthood, is Pro-Choice, universal health care and BIG govt?
My my how things have changed.
I will continue to actively work to get someone other than Trump to be the Republican nominee—anyone, but preferably Cruz. If Trump should become the nominee, I cannot actively support him, since I regard him to be a detestable human being, devoid of character, as well as being untrustworthy on the issues. Whether Trump can do enough to placate all the conservatives he has alienated and disgusted, so that we could hold our noses and vote for him on November 8—that is up to Trump.
“But when a non-GOPe guy wins they smash the chess board.”
“You got it.....The fact that they would rather have Bernie or Hillary is VERY telling.”
These people are not Republicans, because if they were they would hold their nose and vote for a nominee that they don’t personally prefer. Nope, they are just self-centered morons who cannot look beyond the end of their nose at the effects of what they propose to do (or, in this case, to NOT do).
Trump is not my favorite person, not my ideal candidate - not by a long shot. However, he has the following things in his favor:
1) He will build a strong national defense;
2) He will back our allies and oppose our enemies;
3) He is in favor of lower taxes and reducing regulations;
4) He is in favor of controlling immigration - in fact, he is THE GUY who first raised the issue during this campaign - Cruz followed him.
5) He wants to create jobs in THIS country - bring home a lot of profits that have been made by the subsidiaries of US companies by lowering the penalty for doing so, and putting in DISincentives to companies that want to leave (like Carrier).
6) He will bring in people to manage the government in a much more business-like manner, and cut those programs, agencies and departments that don’t make sense (obviously with the cooperation of Congress).
7) He is making all of the right noises on the 2nd Amendment.
Do these things make him the ideal candidate? No.
Do these things make for a complete set of policies? No.
Do these things make for a more secure, more prosperous country? You betcha!
Do these things make him leagues better than the corrupt, Leftist Hag, or the Stalinist hobo? Damned straight.
People need to understand that if you don’t get someone elected that has at least a FEW things in common with you, then you’ll get NOTHING. With Trump, getting national security and foreign policy straightened out, getting our budgetary, tax and regulatory policy aligned with a more prosperous nation (i.e. moving in the OPPOSITE direction to Socialism), getting our immigration policy moved toward a more sane set of goals that actually benefit this country, and standing tall on the 2nd Amendment give any conservative MUCH or MOST of what we want.
I don’t understand people who say, in essence, “I’d rather have someone that disagrees with me 100% in office than someone who agrees with me 50% or 70% of the time.” Ronald Reagan (”in politics, if you get 70% of what you want, take it and run away”) and General George S. Patton, Jr. (”the perfect is the enemy of the good”) understood the need to do the best NOW with what you’ve got, rather than waiting around for that mythical perfect plan, law or person (which, inevitably, NEVER shows up).
People like Rick Wilson need to pull their heads out of their respective nether-regions. The voters of this country are in a foul mood, and are utterly rejecting anything and anyone having to do with the establishment - which has promised us conservatives the world, and given us a lump of coal. Trump is the best that we’ll get, and if he can beat Hillary or Sanders, then I’m for him.
“If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.†Winston Churchill
Love to be at Trump’s meeting with his advisors the day after the elections, when he shouts....”Where were the Conservatives??????”
“I will never vote for Donald Trump, not even if Ronald Reagan and William F. Buckley rise from the grave and beg me to support him.”
Stuck on Stupid
I think big money has bought both Bernie and Hillary, no matter the stories put out by Bernie, being supported ONLY by small donors.
May the RINO’S live well in USSA.
There is something extremely important that you and a lot of other folks are missing completely.
You talk as though the "GOP-E" is nothing more than a few pundits and politicians who will be gone once ignored or voted out. What you're forgetting is that those politicans are supported by many millions of voters who vote Republican, but are not as radical as you might wish.
If you want Trump to win, you need those voters. The nastiness, the vindictiveness, and the needless attacks in people who don't see things the way you do is going to cost your guy votes.
I know a lot of folks active in local politics in Ohio. Not elected people - just ordinary Republicans. And the needless nastiness - like Trump's stupid riff about Cruz being like a little baby, or the stuff that gets reported from rallies or online comments from his supporters - is just turning them off. And they're not even Cruz supporters.
Right now, my brother and parents who voted for Goldwater in 1964 are planning on sitting it out if Trump is the nominee. And they're far from the only ones.
It may make some Trump supporters feel good to turn this into the French Revolution of primaries, but you are costing your guy. At least the GOP-E made an attempted to kiss conservative butt when they nominated a moderate. You guys are insulting the people from whom you need votes.
It's the worst circular firing squad I've ever seen.
Excellent!
