A Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton presidency is rather mind-boggling to many of us. At last check, there are over 300 million people in the United States, and we can't find anyone better than HRC and 'The Donald'?
Sadly, we are watching the American presidential election devolve into a competition between the DNC and the GOP as to who can put forward the most corrupt, asinine, power hungry candidate possible. Although the race to the bottom is a voting conundrum for both sides, the extreme left has posited a unique argument that can help social conservatives when it comes to personal principles and the voting booth.
In a world where biological sex is gleefully separated from gender identification, shouldn’t it be acceptable that one might separate selecting a candidate from voting for him or her? Put another way: if having male genitalia doesn't necessarily make you male, then selecting someone for president doesn’t necessarily mean that you voted for that person. Right?
This type of disconnected reality is only fair if everyone can play the game. Wow - this is an existential moment! I feel better already. To quote The Kinks: “Girls will be boys, and boys will be girls. It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world…”
Thank you, transgender community, for helping me work through this “mixed up, muddled up” election. Although I will select Donald Trump for President of the United States, I will not be voting for him.
That’s right. I’m voting for three reasons and three reasons only:
1.I’m voting to curtail the Clintons' power.
2.I’m voting to curtail the Clintons' power.
3.I’m voting to curtail the Clintons' power.
There you have it: three solid reasons for selecting Donald Trump without voting for him. It’s time to be pragmatic. It’s time to select a candidate who will create the greatest amount of disturbance within the system albeit with the least amount of power.
Who might that be? Let’s see: “eeny, meeny, miny, moe, H-R-C has got to go!” Really, people - how long are we going to elect the same old political hacks who have consolidated their power for decades?
It is amazing that in a “free” country we’ve allowed the Clintons to run the DNC (and thus a fair portion of Washington, D.C.) for nearly 30 years! They have manipulated the system for their personal gain to the tune of $110 million! They are willing to sell our country to the nation or company that will pay the highest speaking fee. They lie, cheat, and steal their way to the top.
Is this not problematic? Power - and the lack of - is the most important thing for the next president, yet the media isn’t discussing it.
Here’s the most substantial difference between Donald Trump and HRC. If elected, Donald Trump would have a fraction of the power of HRC. For crying out loud: 2/3 of the GOP is already against him. Do you hear any major resistance rising up against HRC by DNC insiders? No. Progressives should wake up to the fact that if they vote for HRC, then they prove that their Occupy Wall Street, stick-it-to-the-man gig is a complete sham.
Indeed, if progressives vote for HRC, then they’re either quintessential hypocrites who couldn’t care less about the American people or they’re complete idiots being played like a drum by the powers that be in the DNC.
Make no mistake about it. I’ll select Trump’s name for president, but I’m not voting for him. Rather, I’m voting to limit the power of the presidency; I’m voting to stop HRC’s quest to become the first Queen of America by wielding the power of her husband’s former kingship.
Wake up, America! We fought a revolution to prevent such a consolidation of power. I would like to think Americans are smart enough to stop the Clintons from gaining even more of it.
Proverbs 15:27 - “He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house.”
That works.
These are the things Trump represents, draining the swamp... I’m voting for Trump for the same reasons... semantics, oy!
I am voting for Donald Trump and I am voting against the globalist, open borders and obviously demonic.
I suggest reading issues positions on Trumo website. See what percentage of his approaches you agree with
Clinton will “get more done” as president than will Trump. Count on it. That alone should scare both progressives and conservatives to the polls. If HRC wins, Bernie types are done. If Trump wins, they still have a good shot in 2020 (although that will be hard when the economy is roaring like a fire at 4-5% growth, but don’t tell them that).
Democrats and the media accomplices need to think hard about having a despot with Hillary’s record become their leader. She will ruin them or enslave them. Surely they can pick a benevolent dictator and not a Caligula the next time around.
The woman is corrupt.
I’m voting FOR Donald Trump. The fact that Hillary and Bill Clinton will finally be vanquished from the halls of my government after Donald Trump wins this election is just a big ‘ole bonus.
Don’t forget, Mr. Trump gave us a twofer and also vanquished the Bushes.
No argument against the premise that we are scraping the bottom of the barrel with Hillary, but don’t thunk that equates with Donald Trump, especially in comparison to the vile Hildebeest.
I cant claim to be a trump fan myself. I just look at him as being a question mark where Hillary we know what she is about and what she will do.
I do believe that he has the potential to be one of the great presidents of the 21st century but at the same time when you have that type of potential you have the potential for it to be a disaster because he is not the safe choice.
I would of loved a safe choice but that was not available because of Hillary’s manipulation with in the republican party. Hillary had decided mistakenly that trump was the best of three candidates to run against. the info is in the Podesta wiki leaks material. I personally think that any of the sixteen republican choices would of been painted by the Clinton team to look bad as a choice and that trump actually holds up better then half of them because fights back
so anyone not voting for trump. you have allowed the enemy to manipulate you into supporting her and her agenda.
“...Dem turnout is down 44%...”
So, the scu*bags might be down in the dumps?
(That’s where they usually are anyway.)
IMHO
Yep, yesterday a worker who is helping me paint cabinets in my kitchen were talking about the election. I asked if he got his ballot (we are in Oregon only mail in ballots) and he said yes but knows nothing about the candidates or issues. All he knew is his wife said you can't vote for Trump.
I had some Fox News playing and occasionally would point stuff out about HRC. The next day he brought his ballot with him and asked if my husband and I could help him. He said, "I can't read it, take it and fill it in like your own ballet."
I was nervous about that, as I am straight shooter legal, but my husband said he just gave you permission and is sitting right here with us, so I filled in Trump and all the other R candidates and told him about each one. He signed the ballot and I am turning it in with ours on Monday. I told him its secret tell your wife none of her business!!!
Where are you located?
Are there really people that dumb?
Any one of the others would have been reduced to a sniveling pool of tears and jello on the floor by now.
Trump won and will win because he will not take the crap the media dishes out, and calls them on it, instead of asking if he may have some more.
He is a straight shooter, will tell you what he thinks, and what he will do.
The rest tell you what you want to hear, and do what the hell they please, in order to fatten their wallets and increase their power.
Trump does not need to increase his wealth or power.
He truly is doing this for the country.
That is the difference. That, and the fact that Clinton is a lying treasonous bitch who has sold out this country repeatedly for nothing more than money and power, and should have been hung for treason years ago.
Screw h!llary—VOTE TRUMP!
Word.
I have a problem with folks who say, “yeah Trump is awful, crude, unpredictable, but I have to vote for him to stop Hillary.”
Oh, really? Those folks don’t know what they’re talking about.
Donald J Trump may be the best candidate to ever seek this office. I will firmly dig my heels in on this point.
Same here. Trump has had a good October. He performed well at his last two debates. His event speeches have been very good. He has stayed on message with mostly good conservative policies. And he hasn't been afraid to criticize Hillary on her corruption.
Interesting - except for PokerStars they’re all women... Shouldn’t BJ be there too?
President Reagan was once asked if he would be OK with a
woman being elected President. He answered, “Yes; but only
provided she is a Conservative Republican!”
Maybe I’m being crude here; but the fact that Hillary is a
split-tail is not enough in itself to get my vote. CLINTONS
are “poison” in my estimation. RETIRE THE CLINTONS!!
In the end, big sign, it will not matter in my state, I will be overrode by the majority of D voters, voting for a corrupt POTUS, Governor and SOS.
The D candidate for Secretary of State is as corrupt as HRC, he comes form the Labor Relations board and unilaterally charged Mellissa Sweet Cakes with a $135,000 fine, they are out of business and he has been promoted to run to be in charge of our vote counting and voting laws.
