Sounds like Praeger decided not to sacrifice whatever is left of his career on radio
While Dennis comes to a “correct” conclusion some of his arguments in getting there are off the wall:
“When forced to choose between bad and worse, we supported Joseph Stalin against Adolf Hitler”
So a vote for Trump is like supporting Stalin against Hitler? There has got to be some strange radiation hitting talk radio recently to cause so many in it to go start raving mad at times.

That's why the act of dropping atom bombs on Japan was moral. The circumstances (ending a war that would otherwise continue taking millions of lives) made moral what under other circumstances would be immoral.In the 2016 presidential race, I am not interested in moral purity.
I presume his position is, then, that use of the A-bomb was "not moral purity" either. Not to draw equivalence, by the way, but he argues that the morality of an action can depend on circumstances (e.g., between two bad choices, or do a bad thing for a good end), and that dropping the A-bombs on Japan was moral, period.
But in this election, he is not looking for moral "purity," so voting for Trump is OK?
Nitpicky on my part, and I'm glad he's decided to work against Hillary and the DEMs, but his argument or justification is similar to the one I had to use to pull the lever for McCain and Romney, and in no way do I see my decisions in those cases to be moral. They were immoral - added legitimacy to elections that were little more than a con-job by players on the NWO stage.
I still opposed Obama (still do), but there is a bigger game afoot here, and Prager and his ilk (the #NeverTrumps in spirit) are not on the same side I am on, other than we all oppose the DEMs.

This is exactly what drives the #NeverTrump agenda.
They cannot allow the citizens to retain the rule of law or our country.
The #NeverTrump propagandists have for years been trying to convince us to give up our country without a fight.
They must keep the Cheap Labor Express running.
We held our noses and voted for Bush 41, Bush 43, Dole, Romney and (gag...)McCain. It’s time to return the favor.
I have occasionally made the remark that everything Trump’s opponents and everything his supporters say about him is all true. And he is still the best man running.
I was (and am) a Cruz supporter, so Trump was always my second choice, but he was the only other man in the race that I trusted to actually secure the border. And turn around the influx of muslim colonists. And straighten out the economy.
The other candidates, some of whom were likeable, could be trusted only to continue the status quo, running at the iceberg at half speed rather than full speed. There were only two men in the race who actually wanted to change directions, and Trump was one of them.
So supporting Trump gives me no heartburn at all, he was the only other man in the race I trusted. Granted, I don’t trust him completely on everything, but on national sovereignty and on the economy, I do.
So its an easy choice. Someone who will secure and defend our sovereignty, versus an open criminal. That should be the easiest choice we’ve ever had. Someone who actually understands how the economy works versus someone with a line of dead bodies following her throughout her sorry career. Someone who made his billions building things versus someone who made her billions selling her, and her husband’s, office. Any would-be pundit who doesn’t see that distinction should be embarrassed.
Prager caves. Anyone who is surprised, raise your hand.
Given the situation, what other choice does he have?
“The choice this November is tragic. As it often happens in life, this choice is between bad and worse, not bad and good.”
Sums it up; falls right in line with the “usual” choice at election time (for me, since Reagan).
I am disappointed when I read columns like this from someone whose writing usually appeals to me. Saying that voting for Trump is like supporting Stalin over Hitler is about as back-handed a compliment as one could devise. What really disappoints me is seeing a Jew like Prager come to the “difficult decision” to vote for Trump when the left is hand-in-glove with the BDS anti-Israel crowd.
Prager should not be comparing support of Trump with support of Stalin. It's not at all similar.
His list of friends who he admires and who like him are media hoes say all I need to hear.
Dennis, you do not now and never have had any CONSERVATIVE “#Nevertrump” friends.
All of the #Nevertrump crowd are nascent islamists, and even the people who flirted with the movement temporarily were openly backing Islam against the American people for a time.
Too bad his intended audience prefers the corruption more than they want some positive changes.....
Some well-intentioned folks have "principles" that make them prefer to be complicit in throwing another election to the worst possible, most evil choice out there. Then there are the insiders whose "principles" say that the worst for the People fits right in their own aspirations to aid and abet the despots in subduing the People.
The former aren't playing with a full deck - the latter are the worst sort of traitors.
“His virtually assured nomination has therefore caused me grief as an American, a Republican and a conservative. “
Don’t worry Dennis, you are still the 60’s RFK liberal that you used to admit to being before claiming the “conservative” mantle became more convenient.
This post explains why, better than I could.
Thank you, Dennis. The purists who won’t stoop to vote for Trump forget they live in a country that currently has no stomach for moral purity. If God has influence over a country’s choices for leadership (and I believe that he does), then these appear to be our choices. If you don’t vote, then don’t bitch about what happens later because you clearly aren’t invested enough to at least TRY and steer this listing ship back to the right, no matter how small the steps are.
He can add Hugh Hewitt to that inane list. I used to LOVE Hughie, but he has become unhinged about Trump.
With at least 9 powerful reasons for voting Trump, the arrogant and clueless Prager compares such a vote to the US choosing Stalin over Hitler in WWII. Disgusting. Not a word praising or even acknowledging Trump’s proven character, leadership abilities and patriotic intention which shine out aplenty to all willing to open their eyes.
You have to wonder what kind of poisonous Kool-Aid the Cruz campaign has been dispensing to achieve such a stranglehold on so many on the right. Cruz, an unlikable individual with no proven record of anything, has cleverly appealed to the intellectual vanity of the arrogant Conservative class and disabled any further objective scrutiny.
He's on what? His third wife? Like Rush Cruzbaugh...
