Michael Medved backs both GOP, Dems in 2020 Voters Guide
KTTH ^ | 10/16/2020 | Michael Medved

President: Joe Biden

For 32 years, from 1980 through 2012, I only voted for Republican nominees for president, proudly backing principled conservatives from Ronald Reagan to Mitt Romney.

This time, I am voting for Joe Biden, not because I feel confident that he will reconcile the nation’s warring tribes but because I believe there’s at least a chance that he might. With another term of Trump, there is no chance.

OCTOBER 16, 2020 AT 11:42 AM

Gov. Inslee and Former Vice President Joe Biden. (Getty Images) Before you fill out your 2020 ballot, find out how KTTH’s Michael Medved is voting in the 2020 election.

President: Joe Biden

For 32 years, from 1980 through 2012, I only voted for Republican nominees for president, proudly backing principled conservatives from Ronald Reagan to Mitt Romney.

This time, I am voting for Joe Biden, not because I feel confident that he will reconcile the nation’s warring tribes but because I believe there’s at least a chance that he might. With another term of Trump, there is no chance.

For two reasons, a second term would bring disastrous consequences. First, because a triumphant Trump would view his upset victory as the justification for more divisiveness, crushing deficits and chaotic governance. Second, giving an impulsive president “Four More Years” would bring far more suffering. Even our greatest chief executives, from Washington and Jefferson through FDR and Reagan, suffered significant setbacks in their second terms, paralyzed as lame ducks whose encore agendas never match their first term achievements.

That’s a particular danger in Trump’s case, since he has stoutly refused to sketch out new plans for the years ahead and seems perfectly content to promise more of the same.

Why would any voter want more of this?

Opinion polls show that over two-thirds who say our nation is on the wrong track, with less than a third of us who sense we’re moving in the right direction. We can’t change course without changing leadership at the top. Most Americans understand that dilemma and will, after the resounding rejection the president richly deserves, feel an instant sense of relief and a burst of fresh hope. That also means a new beginning for my party, the GOP, and I hope to participate in many meaningful Republican victories in the future.

Michael Medved gives off a certain vibe like he’s probably got some pictures somewhere he doesn’t want to get out

” I believe there’s at least a chance that he might.”

Yuge Mistake!

Biden is not a maker, he’s a taker and will become a breaker.

Once the dems come to power, the GOP is done. I suspect Medved knows this full well and is complicit. Screw him and every other turncoat.

Oh, so he either didn't vote in 2016, or he voted for Hillary.

Michael Medved, I just have no words for how foolish you are!

As I have posted many times over the years at Free Republic, the two biggest issues that the conservative movement needs to solve are:

1) The Media - it must be destroyed. Not reformed - destroyed.

2) The Federal courts must be filled with conservative judges.

Once these two problems are solved, THEN conservatives can move to take back the public square. Otherwise, we lose every time - by a Lefty Media artillery barrage, combined with Lefty stealth rulings from the Federal bench ["A commie fanatic Federal judge today ruled..."].

What has President Trump been working on the hardest?

What does Michael Medved understand the least?

I think we should consider him a submissive individual.

This is how leftists subvert institutions. The have a wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing claim for be a cause, the leftists help promote them and raise their profile while funneling money to them from side gigs, and once they are established they have the strategically subvert and undercut the institution and promote other leftists. This is what they did with Paul Ryan the snake, Mitt Romney, John McCain.

“reconcile the nation’s warring tribes”—sure, let’s give soft totalitarianism a try.

Medved is good buddies with the rotten slimeball Lani Davis. Medved is a POS. But I’m glad to hear he lost his big radio gig. I had no idea since I haven’t tried to listen to the sleazeball for many years.

Considering its DNC gangs that are running amok, and Biden has yet to denounce them, and he is voting for someone he thinks he has a chance to reconcile the warring tribes. That is like voting Hitler in hopes he will make The brown shirts nicer. What a major idiot. Throw his ass on the irrelevant swamp rat pile!

Michael Medved is a dog turd and lawn clippings sandwich.

Another archetype of Ned Flanders from the Simpsons. So many of these RINO types strike hard parallels to the ubiquitous, holier than thou neighbor. Ned even greets people with “Hidey-Ho!”

I’m sick of these Flanders types acting as Bishops, Appointed Gatekeepers, and Paragons of Virtue.

Ben Shapiro is young, so I have hopes that one day he will realize what the two Holy Grails of conservatism actually are.

As I have posted many times over the years at Free Republic, the two biggest issues that the conservative movement needs to solve are:

1) The Media - it must be destroyed. Not reformed - destroyed.

2) The Federal courts must be filled with conservative judges.

Once these two problems are solved, THEN conservatives can move to take back the public square. Otherwise, we lose every time - by a Lefty Media artillery barrage, combined with Lefty stealth rulings from the Federal bench ["A commie fanatic Federal judge today ruled..."].

What has President Trump been working on the hardest?

As you said, "He [Ben Shapiro] is as good as anyone today at explaining conservative principles to college students".

He still doesn't get where the Left must be attacked. President Trump figured that out immediately.

A wag once said, “Just remember, kiddies, you can vote socialism in, but you’ll have to shoot your way out.”

As a candidate who physically threatens or loudly ridicules voters who have the temerity to question his positions, I find laughable the idea Biden could be considered “unifying.”

In other words, Medved has no problem with rioters and seditionists, but has one with a President who appoints conservative judges to the Supreme Court.
