I Am Going To Vote For Trump Though It Makes Me Want To Projectile Vomit
townhall.com ^ | 5/9/2016 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 05/09/2016 5:54:53 AM PDT by rktman

I intend to vote for Donald Trump, and just typing those words makes me throw up a little. Make that a lot, and for distance. Yeah, I know Trump is a clown, but so is Hillary Clinton, and while he’s sort of an irascible and tacky Ronald McDonald, she is freaking Pennywise.

Now, if you want to see my Trump-slamming bona fides, you can Google my CNN appearances where I was the go-to conservative who would reliably trash the loudmouth Republican nominee until I dared attack Hillary and mussed their carefully coiffed narrative. But I haven't changed my mind about anything I said. Trump is terrible. It's just that I believe Hillary is infinitely worse.

About 90% of my friends are in the #NeverTrump category. Hell, my wife is #NeverTrump. This is understandable since I hang with a lot of hard-core conservatives and similar quality people. They tell me it's an act of principle to refuse to vote for Trump, and I agree - completely and without reservation. No sarcasm here – believe me, I get it.

Well Kurt, at least you realize the consequences of the alternative. And, unlike certain individuals who PROMISED to support the nominee and have now backed out, you will hold your nose and pull the lever even while puking. Of course the alternative may have you slashing your wrists.

So then don’t, you know, for health reasons. Vote for Hillary, maybe you can get on Hillarycare or something.

I wish these people who are going to vote for him would just shut up about hating him. They only add weight to the TDS and could cause others to vote for Hitlery.

If you don’t like him, but dislike Hitlery more, then shut up and vote. Don’t help Hitlery.

Trump can turn even his supporters off sometimes BUT...(and this is a big “BUT”), Trump is no clown. He's a smart cookie who is uncouth sometimes but clown he is not, not a clown in the traditional sense. He knows what he is doing and will be getting down to brass tacks soon enough. If there is a clown out there it is the current US President.

There is a difference between support and voting for someone

Vomiting, diarrhea, the shakes, and chills are all part of Hopium withdrawal. Trump might be the crass plumber needed to clean out the sewer.

This author is just starting down the path to sanity in an insane world. Trump will grow on him. Soon, he’ll be appreciating Trump’s playful humor and thinking about nasty adjectives to describe Paul Ryan. <^..^>

Well since we've been force fed lies from our current wonderful politicians like a Shoney's buffet to bulimics, you can puke over Trump all you want.

Welcome to the party, pal.

Just make sure only Democrats are in line behind you at the polling booth.

So keep it to yourself. Self-important twit. No one wants to read about your gastric disturbances.

I know Trump is a clown

Trump is an entertainer, which is different in subtle but important ways from being a clown. He's also a businessman who has made a profit by delivering a product rather than by delivering government favors, although he has profited by receiving government favors, the only way to do business in New York City.

The simple fact of the matter is Cruz ran a terrible campaign. His message and platform was indistinguishable with Trump’s his personality didn’t resonate with the electorate.

Not voting for Trump doesnt make Cruz a better candidate.

I stayed home in 1980. I bought the MSM’s BS, at the time about Ronaldus Magnus. I couldn’t vote for Jimmy 444 days/long gas lines Carter. But the MSM did a good job of convincing me that Reagan was dangerous.

In 1984 I was first in line at the polls to vote for Reagan. And I stopped believing the news media after 1980, too.

I believe we will get the same kind of pleasant surprise with a Trump presidency.

Many of us held our nose and voted for Romney and MCain! What most did not do was bad mouth MCCain and ROmney in the mainstream media. On FR sure! The main attacks by us were on Obama. The GOPe should just hold their nose and attack Hillary and get with the program, it is Trump or Hillary, country with a future or continued decline into a third work country. America as a people or a collection of racial and ethnic groups divided by the Democrats.
