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.

Funny how these "hard-core conservatives" were not #NeverMcCain or #NeverRomney, despite those two men being well to the left of Trump. You can barely slip a sheet of pape between McCain and George Soros, and Romney said he was "proud" his RomneyCare was the "inspiration" for the ACA.

I was wondering who his dream candidate was.

So if you decide unfollow me on social media, that's your loss because I'm absolutely hysterical. But it's also your loss in a larger sense, because someday there's going to be another election and we're all going to need to work together. Trump fans, Trump foes – it may not seem like it in the days following the departure of a true hero like Ted Cruz but we have much, much more in common than what divides us. 2020 is coming no matter what happens. We’ll need to stand together again then. But right now, you have to follow your conscience and I have to follow mine. Even if I have to keep down my lunch.

True hero? In what regard?

One would think that if this guy is going to vote for D.T. he would want him to win. If he wants him to win, why does he say such awful (not to mention stupid) things about him?

I have misgivings about Trump...rather serious ones.But they're not nearly strong enough...not nearly serious enough...to cause me to miss the fact that,at worst,he'd harm this nation much,much,much less than whichever Maoist Alinskyite the Rats nominate.

And he might not even harm the nation at all!

Funny, I hang with hard core conservatives and they are about 90% FOR Trump. They could not stand Lyin Ted, so there’s that.

This sniveling fool sounds like he needs a safe space to hole up in, before he melts.

The simple fact of the matter is Cruz ran a terrible campaign.

And I'm STILL getting spammed by him!

I would vote for Charles Manson over Hillary.

Pragmatism Trumps Ideological Purity.

Vomiting, shakes, diarrhea, and flatulence are all part of Hopium withdrawal. So purge away!

Maybe he's going to unsuspend his campaign at some point in the future. A month, 4 years, 8 years?

Yes, but soon enough he will discover that a Trump Presidency is the best thing to happen to the US in many years.

Some people wouldn’t know a good thing if it hit them up side the head.

Oh, get over yourself, Kurt. Everyone should grow out of talking about vomit by the time they’re 12 or so (unless they’re medical personnel with a professional requirement).

Trump supporters, you keep shooting yourselves in the foot. Here’s someone who doesn’t like Trump, who wrote an article detailing why he will vote for him anyway. This type of article, especially coming from someone who doesn’t like Trump, is Yuuge in getting others to support Trump.

Yet, what do you do? You blast the guy for writing about it. You make fun of him, belittle him, and just continue to act your obnoxious selves. It feels great doesn’t it? Well, if your goal were worthy enough (win the election for Trump), you would skip what feels good and concentrate on what’s effective.

So stop acting like children and don’t make it even more difficult for people to get in their car, drive to a polling place, wait in line, and vote for someone they dislike. Because if you don’t, more of these people will stay home and you’ll get Hillary.

Do you want to then feel good at that time and bitch and moan about it knowing you’ll find the culprit when you look in the mirror?
