Stop with the #NeverTrump Nonsense

Let’s clear the air.  The Donald was never my first choice as the Republican nominee for POTUS.  As a self-proclaimed “constitutional conservative” there are many grounds for objection that easily come to mind when considering his positions on a wide range of issues.  I also understand the commitment and passion to principles that many feel are not shared by Mr. Trump.  That having been said, I firmly believe that the time has come to unify around the presumptive nominee.

First of all, the #NeverTrump movement is just nonsense.  The minority of Republicans who say they will never, ever vote for Trump argue that he is not a conservative and their adherence to principle is more important than anything else.  These are the same Republicans however who have earned the moniker of “RINO” because they have supported other candidates who repeatedly broke their promises to us over the last several election cycles.  These are the same Republicans who told us that no candidate is perfect, and even though we had been politically defrauded multiple times, they said the most important thing is that “we elect Republicans”.  “Just give us the House and Senate so we can implement our conservative policies!”  I guess that means vote for the candidates that we want you to vote for.  The rejection of Trump because he doesn’t measure up to these purists, is just another demonstration of their glaring hypocrisy. 

Perhaps the most moronic claim made by the anti-Trump crowd that I hear is “I’m not voting for Trump or Clinton because there’s no difference between the two.”  Are you kidding me?  I have to wonder if these people have been living under a rock for the last eight years.  This is the same woman who really did wage a “war on women” to protect her husband from all the bimbo eruptions during his administration.  Every foreign policy failure can be laid at the feet of Hillary Clinton including the rise of ISIS, and the collapse of Libya.  This is the same woman who lied to us all in blaming Benghazi on an internet video.  And then, when our Ambassador and three other Americans died, she looked their relatives in the eye and lied to them as well.  This is the Secretary of State who implemented policies that brought down a stable and friendly regime in Egypt with the express intent of putting the Muslim Brotherhood in power.  Hillary has fully supported every questionable action and policy of Obama including the implementation of ObamaCare, the politicization of the Department of Justice, the attack on the Second Amendment, the overreaching by the EPA and BLM through regulatory fiat, targeting of conservatives by the IRS, the surge of unaccompanied minors across our southern border, the emigration of unvetted Syrian “refugees”, and pushing the global-weather change-warming-cooling agenda including its consequences of wealth redistribution and the destruction of American manufacturing.  Oh, and did I mention the pay-for-play corruption of the Clinton Foundation, and the compromise of national security by keeping secret and classified emails on a private unsecure server? 

No my friends, Donald Trump is no Hillary Clinton.  Not even close.  Unlike Hillary Clinton, The @realDonaldTrump does not have an ingrained, visceral hatred for our country.  He doesn’t hate the military and law enforcement.  He doesn’t hate Jews.  I believe that in his heart he does want to “Make America Great” again.  At least with Trump you can talk to the guy and you might have a chance to get him to actually change or moderate some of his positions.  With Hillary Clinton you don’t have a chance.  She is a Left wing zealot and would be the 3rd term of Barack Obama.  Most importantly if you really want to destroy our Republic, just vote for Hillary, or withhold your vote from Trump, because the next POTUS will determine the makeup of the SCOTUS.  Your right to keep and bear arms, and to have any chance of controlling the scope of control the central government has over your lives will be set back for generations. 

There is a difference between Trump and Clinton.  It is huge.  There is no comparison.  Now is the time to unite against Hillary.  The only way to be effective, to save our country, and to have your vote count, is to actually vote, and vote for Trump.

My views on the CNN - GOP debate in Texas

My thoughts on the CNN GOP debate:

Well, I haven't really discussed my views on this election cycle, but there's not much time left before the Republican nominee is chosen, so I thought I'd throw out my thoughts on last night's debate:

Overall, I don't think the debate performance of any of the candidates changed or will change their standings. The biggest dumb-ass reward goes to the Telemundo gal who spent her whole time giving a speech, citing questionable polling, and then asking each person on stage "Do you get it?"

Trump - probably the worst performance I've ever seen in a debate. Doubled down on praising Planned Parenthood, and equating the Palestinians with Israel. Nothing of substance. But Trumpians are rabid, and they can't stop frothing at the mouth. Notwithstanding this, the Drudge poll still had Trump winning by over 60%. Go figure.

Rubio - the Cuban motormouth. This guy talks so fast and throws together so many subjects at 100 mph that I can't help but thinking he's got a stash of cocaine somewhere he regularly dips into. I do believe on a majority of issues, Rubio has been a conservative voter, but I have no faith in him on the issue of immigration. On that subject he has been bought hook, line, and sinker by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and the donor-class. He's flipped depending on who he's talking to, as noted by his speeches given in Spanish vs English. He has attacked the border patrol and immigration enforcement officials who have pointed out how he betrayed them during the fight over the Gang of Eight bill. For me, immigration is such an important issue to the security of our country, that I cannot bring myself to support Rubio. I just don't trust him.

Cruz - again, probably the smartest guy up there. Full of substance. Consistent in his message. Not afraid to take politically incorrect positions. He's my first pick.

Kasich - I wish this guy would just drop out already. Want to know what he did in Ohio? Too bad, because even if you didn't, he'll tell you. The problem is that he's a Statist who loves Common Core, and actually believes ObamaCare is divinely inspired. He crowed about a new bill in Ohio that rewards doctors for charging below the mean while providing care to "keep you healthy". Of course he doesn't say that his plan still has government calling the winners and losers. And where does that reward money come from? He's a squishy guy without a plan or solution except to call a meeting with a bunch of people.

Carson - I love the man but if I watch him too long, I'll fall asleep. This is the only guy I know who can talk while in a coma. I think he could be a good President, but he just doesn't exude leadership.

All the above having been said, I would vote for the Republican nominee whoever it is. I will never support the Bitch of Benghazi or the Sycophant of Stalin.
