If you are trapped in a sewage treatment pond but your head is above water and a big wave comes up which will wash you into someplace unknown, will you ride the wave? Or cling to a branch in the pond?

Any sensible person knows there are real risks associated with riding the wave, but staying in the pond is guaranteed to not end well.

This has been the most illuminating election ever.

I think P.J. will change his tune if Trump becomes president. Trump is closer to his libertarian leanings than he thinks, in that Trump isn’t trying to put a moral slant on every policy.

FR can survive a Hillary Presidency. Of course, most of us will be posting using morse code on cell walls.

He’s obviously an idiot, supporting Hillary over Trump.

The massive stupidity; it’s hard to believe but all too real.

I would like to think it is satire, but sadly it probably is not. Going forward, I am going to check with these “conservative” authors—if they endorse HIllary or are #NEVERTRUMP (same difference), I will ignore.

It makes no difference. I suspect that even the members of his extended family make their own voting choices.

There’s NO excuse for this, none. This shows the rot in the conservative pundit class....these people have grown fat, stupid & lazy.

So...what does this Free-America-Hating moron get out this? Trump really shaking the tree. Lots of malignancies are being exposed.

If he was serious, something I question knowing him, he has gone off the deep end.

They are coming out of the woodwork. Just wait until after California. As more primaries occur, there will be more shrieking. Even right here. There’s several that have already popped out.

Truly, these are dangerous times. This country has been force-fed lies into destroying itself, selling-out, de-industrialized across the full spectrum.

And there are many, many idiots too stupid to see it. But reality will come like a bulldozer on a mud hut.

P.J. Is now officially an old fogey.

Tomorrow, he’ll be standing in the front door of his apartment yelling at the people in the hallway to get off his lawn.

Have never read the writer, but have friends who think highly of him. Taking their word for it, I suspect that this apparent aberration may be the result of people close to him echoing the "Never Trump" lies of pseudo Conservative publications. If you have not closely followed the campaign, it would be easy to be misled by the endless rants from National Review, for an example, which demonize Donald Trump by tactics we see daily being injected into internet communications.

Let's keep it simple. Donald is not an unknown quantity. Everything that he has said thus far, demonstrates that unlike the other candidates, he really does put America first! He is willing to go all in to that end, both on borders; trade; immigration; foreign policy, etc..

Nothing could be more clearly Conservative! Think about it:

She's wrong about absolutely everything, but she's wrong within normal parameters.

Screw this douche nozzle.

"Normal parameter!"

Anyone with the brains of a cheese doodle knows democrats only operate in "normal parameters" until they start to LOSE! When the tide turns against them, they ALWAYS rewrite the terms of the debate for the MSM to disseminate until the LIVs think they're winning, then they use "public opinion" to get the republicans to cave.

It's about damn time we got a candidate that knows you have to fight fire with fire!

Conservative is as conservative does.

Endorsing Hillary is about as far away from conservative as you can get.

He’s a liberal, there’s your answer.
