It's most disappointing that Sowell won't come right out and support Donald Trump when he clearly makes a case that Trump is the lesser of two evils.

Go Donald Trump!

Sowell is just another gasping pearl clutcher.

He is a syndicated columnist and is in mamy lib papers. A full throated endorsement will cost him half his income.

These elites forced the rest of us to support the lesser of two evils for decades until we lost all our traditional values and no one is allowed to mention Jesus.

Now it’s their turn to support the lesser of two evils and they won’t do it.

Maybe, after seeing everything we’ve lost, they have decided to not make our mistake!

Time to prey for revival.

Sowell could also point out the most recent non-politician was Arnold right where Sowell lives. The Terminator stopped nothing.

Really used to admire this guy.

Sowell has become a tiresome Trump basher.

On one hand, I am disappointed also that Sowell doesn’t come out in strong support of Trump.

But, I think he was writing this from the perspective of those who haven’t got on the Trump train yet, and is trying to persuade them, that while Trump may not be exactly what they wished for, he is the right choice, the only correct choice, to defeat Hillary who would be a total disaster for the country and everyone in it.

Phony conservative, globalist, RINO, Affirmative Action person, hypocrite.

Too bad, I used to like him.

But he's just on the take like George Will, et al.

What I really meant to say was that - for someone as intelligent as (I used to believe) Sowell is, it shouldn’t be that difficult to figure out who to vote for this November.

Clinton or Trump...
Clinton or Trump...
Hmmm...
What to do...

Such a tough choice...

They’re both so flawed.../s

While I usually agree with Thomas Sowell, I disagree with him totally on this one.

Romney and the kenyan was far worse choice than Trump and Cankles.

Well he is not a severe conservative like Romney thats for sure.
And he is definitely not a H.Bush, G.Bush, J.Bush, B.Dole or J.McCain either.

He may not be as conservative as Reagan.
Although, neither were any of the others.
Trump i believe is strong were it counts. He also is a leader in that he knows how to pick the right person for a particular job.
Not to mention he is definitely stronger on illegals than was Reagan.

Dr. Sowell is a good man. One disagrees with him with due caution.

I think Trump is EXACTLY who we need right now, he is the enema to purge the country of the fetid waste of liberalism.

Why yes.

I think he is like Xerxes of the Bible. He had a few issues like those pesky Spartans, but he also played a pivotal role in preserving the Jewish nation, according to the book of Esther.

He is a flawed man, I’ll grant you that, but I think he has been given to us for such a time as this.

My take on Trump is kind of the same as Mr. Sowell’s. I also do believe and have believed that Trump is the only one among the forest of Republican candidates, most of whom would have been good nominees in the last century, who has the character, the instincts, and the insight to be able to wrench the country back from the abyss. Do I believe he will do that? On that question I am ambivalent. I wish he had a better acquaintance with the Federalist Papers and with Free Market economics. His background as a businessman does not necessarily give him knowledge of he Free Market. He is not an economist. He understands the mechanics of moving money and profit. That is a different field though the laws of Economics still apply. All that said, the alternative is Certain Death for Liberty, the Economy, the Society and the Nation.

The movement which began in the late 1800's, whose leaders then self-described as "liberals" and now proudly call themselves "progressives" is one if their regarding the United States Constitution as an impediment to their goal and agenda.

The ideology underlying that movement is one which, at its heart, leads to policies which are antithetical to the underlying philosophy of the Constitution of the United States of America. For example: their insistence on "political correctness" is simply censorship by another name--the opposite free speech and freedom of expression.

This election features a woman whose entire political career has been dedicated to promoting "Progressive" ideas, not the "ideas of liberty," as described and identified in the writings and speeches of America's Founders and early devotees of liberty.

Voters face a choice between someone whose entire life and purpose is to "change" America from its roots in a Constitutionally-limited government and a free citizenry, or do they try someone who has participated in and enjoyed the fruits of that American idea and who is surrounding himself with advisers and leaders who embrace the Founders' ideas and who may enable him to restore some measure of the kind of "people's" government envisioned by the Framers of our Constitution?

Will it be "America's Choice: twilight's last gleaming, or dawn's early light?"--as businessman James Evans once titled his great little book?

Sowell is lost within a cocoon of high minded snobbery. He is so shielded from reality he cannot distinguish literal evil from his perception of evil. I do not think Hillary is the only one suffering from a mind debilitating disease. The whole lot of so called, conservative mouthpieces and wordsmiths were caught sleeping. None of them can lay claim to Trump's call to make America great again. They all have prospered under obamination, and some of them are more open borders and globalist rule than even the laziest liberal.
