You Need To Suck It Up And Vote For Trump
Townhall ^ | 7/7/2016 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 07/07/2016 3:59:12 PM PDT by bkopto

Donald Trump is a vulgar clown posing as a conservative, unmoored to any coherent ideology. He has generated unprecedented opposition and the contempt of people across the political spectrum. He is unbound to any principle other than his own appetite for adulation. And those very factors that make him so appalling also make him America’s only hope.

Now we need to suck it up and pull the lever for this jerk. I don’t need to hear why Trump sucks again. I know why he’s terrible. I’ve written about it at length.

But the Hillary Clinton charade of July 5th – a date that shall live in infamy – and the subsequent rubbing of normal Americans’ noses in the heap of droppings progressives have piled upon the rule of law make plain that there is something much more important at stake here than fussy distaste over Trump’s aesthetic failings and his myriad misjudgments.

The short-sighted liberal elite, aided and abetted by its media catamites, are using our Constitution as toilet paper. One thing matters. One thing only. That is restoring the rule of law, because without it the coastal femboys and hectoring harridans of the left will keep pushing and prodding and provoking until they, to their shock, find normal Americans pushing back. They are worse than stupid – they are unwise, thinking they are simply playing fun games oppressing and abusing those they see as lessers when, in reality, they are playing with fire.

One thing matters. One thing only. That is restoring the rule of law, and only a Trump presidency can do that.

Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and their cabal have demonstrated that there is no one they cannot corrupt, or at least whose integrity they can’t twist and deform. John Roberts, James Comey – all we heard about was their lofty integrity right up until the moment they shoved their shivs in our collective kidney. We can’t rely on the honor of individuals. We need to return to a paradigm where the interests of factions work to check and balance each other.

If elected, how will Hillary Clinton ever be held accountable? Can you conceive of a scenario where the Democrats, or their media, judicial and bureaucratic allies ever stand up in opposition to anything she does, no matter how venal, how corrupt, how fascist? Name the Democrat who stood up in the wake of Comey’s honor flush and said, “This is wrong!”

There will be no check or balance on Hillary Clinton. Not the Congress (D or R), not the courts, not the media, not the bureaucrats. None. This Alinksyite corruptocrat, her second-rate mind twisted with hatred toward normal Americans, will reign unchallenged. She has already sought the power to jail those who criticize her; reversing Citizens United would only be the first step in an unopposed quest to eliminate all legitimate means of dissent, to bar all legitimate means of opposition. Which, of course, would leave only illegitimate means – something she is too dense and ignorant of normal Americans to imagine is possible.

Which leaves Donald Trump as the only alternative, not merely because he is less awful than Hillary Clinton – leprosy is less awful than Hillary Clinton – but because the election of a tacky jerk like Donald Trump is the only thing that could ever motivate the elite to rediscover checks and balances upon executive power.

Think of it. A Congress that finally finds a spine in the face of the president. And that’s not just Democrats – even the posing goofs on the Republican side of the aisle would be falling over themselves to take a whack at the orange executive. What court would shrug and defer to El Presidente Little Digits? Even the mainstream media would rediscover the curiosity about West Wing wrongdoing that disappeared back in January 2009. Imagine their delight to once again be able to preen and strut while babbling about how they speak truth to power instead of groveling and bussing the rear of their White House master.

America will have never seen checking and balancing like President Trump would experience. And that is exactly, precisely what America must have right now.

Hillary Clinton will roll into office unhindered and unaccountable. We know what Clintons do when there is oversight; any sane person should shudder at the thought of them not merely unaccountable, but actively abetted by the entire elite. If you want to tear this country apart – not figuratively, not metaphorically, but with the real violence and bloodshed she will blunder into provoking – then hand that aspiring pants-suited Chavez wannabe the keys to the Oval Office.

That’s the choice. There’s no white knight riding in to snag the nomination away from the guy who won it fair and square. It’s Trump or Hillary. Sorry, that’s your choice, and making no choice is a choice for her.

I get that you detest Trump. So do I. But you can stop sending me tweets about the latest faux outrage. “Trump loves Saddam Hussein and has insulted all our vets and blah blah blah!” Get some damn perspective.

I know you’ve invested a lot of your personal credibility in refusing to support him, and you will absolutely have to endure a lot of graceless gloating by his jerkier acolytes if you walk it back. I endure plenty from Trump haters. Apparently I’m a fake conservative and hate America and blah blah blah. But walk it back you must.

This isn’t about how awful Trump is; it’s about how awful Hillary will be without any constraints whatsoever.

Only one thing matters. One thing only. That is restoring the rule of law. And only a Trump presidency has any hope of doing that.

Sorry.

Suck it up and vote for the rule of law.

And, astonishingly, that means you must vote for Donald Trump.

A very good article. Hillary’s lawbreaking here is the last straw. Hillary will govern as a complete dictator if she wins and we already had eight years of dictatorship — and it’s not over yet.

Totally agree with Kurt.

I've moved from not voting at all (for the first time in my life) to will definitely vote for Trump.

“There was once a time where you could imagine a Democrat scandal where the media actually called for the head of the Democrat instead of deploying to cover it up”

No there hasn’t been. Not once has this happened in any of our lifetimes.

First point. Why in the effn hell would Trump want to run for the office when he could have simply turned his business over to his kids and sat back and enjoyed life?

WHY?!

I believe the man enjoys a challenge and feels, like he said, that he should give back to the nation which has given to him. The biggest challenge he could have ever thought of is to get this nation back on track.

Ohter than that, WHY would he leave a life of pure bliss and do this?

And people think its easy to build large buildings with all the permits, zonning etc, you have to go through to do that? Then they wonder why he donated to nearly all politicians? People cant think, that is the problem.

“a tacky jerk like Donald Trump”

This clown must have been one of Marie Antoinette’s courtiers in a past life.

This is a great article. It gives some excellent reasons for the anti-Trumpers to pull their heads out and do the right thing.

Eyes on the prize. We really shouldn’t give a rats ass why people vote for Trump, so long as they do so.

Apparently I didn't make my self clear on this thread. Too terse.

Even some of the idiots #NeverTrumpers over at Townhall can have at least to brain cells to rub together to finally see the light voting Trump over the Witch SHillary.

Donald Trump is a vulgar clown posing as a conservative, unmoored to any coherent ideology

More conservative and truthful than what I saw from the clown posse of GOPE and their losing candidates.

Right-oh. Tacky jerk? Because he speaks frankly about hillary and Ob, a pair of lying insufferable jerks who haven’t told the truth since “typical white person,” “my Muslim faith,” and in hillary’s case, ever. He tells the truth about immigration and Islamic terrorists? Grow some b@lls, KS. Even Ann Coulter has a keener vision than you. Because she doesn’t have to qualify her support for DJT. Neither do I.

FUKS

How have we been doing under the “coherent ideology” of NeoCONS lately. Just look at the lengths Bill Kristol has been going to to undermine Mr. Trump- America First has a nice ring to it...

Trump will be the nominee. But he will not be the President. The communists Democrat party have corrupted the voting process. Hillary will be President.

I hoped Trump could convince the independents and millions of Democrats to get on his bandwagon, but no way. The corrupt want the corruption to continue and will and have destroyed America.

It is a great article. I agree with you.

Reading most of the comments here it seems that most posters think it’s directed at them.

Who knows, it might be, and they are simply having a Freudian slip at the keyboard.

A vote for Trump is like playing Russian Roulette with one shell in the cylinder.

A vote for Hillary is like playing Russian Roulette with 6 shells in the cylinder.

This is the first time in a long time that I don’t feel like I have to plug my nose when voting like I did with Dole, McCain and Romney.
