But then I thought about the situation and he is the only individual that has a chance against the corrupt Democratic machine. That is because he will pull from many camps. He is vile and disgusting, but we have gone do far over the edge that we need that. We need a Machiavellian. Romney is showing more energy against Trump than he ever did against the worst president in our history. He should shut up and help. A third party individual only gives the office to the Dems, unless it is Sanders. So, tell Trump to do his worse to Hillary and let there be blood in the streets (figuratively). As to Trump's ability to govern, it is not any better or worse than what we have had in the past.david7134https://www.blogger.com/profile/09312542857203326560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-47992990704181653352016-05-12T09:49:06.715-05:002016-05-12T09:49:06.715-05:00Hillary Clinton will have no problem beating Donal...Hillary Clinton will have no problem beating Donald Trump and it really scares me that Hillary will be appointing justices to the federal courts (especially the Supreme Court). Does Trump mean irreparable damage to the future of the Republican Party or will someone like Ted Cruz or Paul Ryan be able to revive the party in 2020?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241445666161004335.post-18736113210674048222016-05-10T22:40:41.254-05:002016-05-10T22:40:41.254-05:00I'm sorry, but I have to vigorously disagree. ...I'm sorry, but I have to vigorously disagree. After many years of following the NR, I'm quite sure that it is they who are guilty of disqualifying dishonor. Williamson, Kristol, Cooke, French and the rest have all disgraced themselves and the conservative movement, not to mention the memory of WFB, Jr. They have left sanity behind, and I urge you to seek your view of reality from other sources and leave your melancholy behind. Things are NEVER as they seem, and now, it seems, reality is better hidden than I have ever seen.

I can’t blame he, he did everything possible and he came up short. <br /><br />Now I’ve been in discussions, some heated, with friends of mine who are Trump supporters. Not that he’s the last man standing and we need to rally to the flag, but the preferred him to all the others. And I’m talking about retired officers I would jump on a grenade for, who’s judgement I’ve never questioned, some with graduate degrees. And they have swallowed the Trump Kool-Aid.<br /><br />One said, “Mike, soon enough you will be signing his praises…” I answered, “I hope our right, I have my doubts.” His negatives are worse the Clinton’s, and her’s are legendary. <br /><br />When one of them tried to convince me of the need to vote for Trump, I responded:<br /><br /><i>Please, don’t waste your breath, I will never vote “for” Trump. No, I will not abstain, yes, I will vote “against” Mrs Bill Clinton. I could not look my children in the face if I didn’t do what I could to stop her. I never though the choice could be worse than 2008. I was wrong. I’ll probably ask for a main in ballot. The though of standing in line for him makes me ill and I can throw up in private. But more likely I will walk in, pull the lever next to his name, throw up, drove home, get drunk until I throw up, get drunk again, throw up again, continue the process until I pass out or am out of alcohol. </i><br /><br />I’m reminded of the bumper sticker from the 1991 LA governor’s election, “Vote for the crook, it’s important!” I may make one up, “Vote for the fraud, it’s important!”<br /><br />God help us all.Mike Thiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929567856363413549noreply@blogger.com
