The constitution can't be ignored.

I agree, however, like I said I would abandoned the Constitution only if and when I thought the Constitution was being misconstrued to be used against us which in of itself was a dire threat to the Constitution. In other words, in an attempt to protect and preserve the Constitution.

I think the trick is to find someone who doesn't even want the job, but loves his country.

That would indeed be an impossible trick. Finding such a person would be easy perhaps, but getting them to run when they don't want the job would be onerous in itself. Getting them actually elected would be even more difficult then finally convincing them to run in the first place.

I don't know what's going to happen, but I do know I need a place to go probably really soon.

That also is a big problem, where would you go? Once America falls places like Australia or New Zealand probably wouldn't survive for very long and places to run to would quickly evaporate. The only option left would most likely be some harsh region where it is very cold most of the time, and cutting out a life in that region would not be for the majority of Americans, myself included, that do not posses the skills necessary to survive for long in those harsh conditions.

While Trump has his warts for sure, I do believe he is sincere as to his motivations for seeking the Presidency. At this point all options are a gamble. Just saying don't look at Trump with negative eyes, not with rose-colored glasses. If you honestly and fairly assess the man you will see he has redeeming qualities along with his warts. He has already shaken the establishment to its core, and may have even more in store for them. In my eyes he is this countries best hope at this point in time.

One thing is for certain, if conservatives keep fighting among themselves, this country will end up on the ash heap of history. If we keep allowing ourselves to become fractured we will all pay the price and your fears will be realized and your hopes will be dashed.

Values are a very big problem in this country. Life is not valued so why would anything like freedom be valued? Too many of our children believe that freedom will be ongoing because it has always been the case for them. Sadly some adults think that as well. They do not realize that freedom is a God given right, not something granted to them by the government, and when they move away from God and rely more on government, they are relinquishing their right to freedom. While our Founders may have written freedom into the Constitution they also acknowledged that right came from a higher order than the government itself. Which is why they added in rights such as freedom of religion and free speech, along with the right to self-defense as a measure to limit the government's power. Even the government they were constructing.

You touched on a subject I’ve been harping on for a while.

Without a major revival and turning hearts back to God, it won’t matter who wins and who does what.

One has to wait I suppose.

I sure hate waiting.
