KLAVAN: Trump Is Our Only Hope, And That’s Just Sad
DailyWire ^ | 6/27/2020 | Andrew Klavan

Posted on 06/27/2020 11:11:11 AM PDT by FiddlePig

From the moment the 2016 election became a choice between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I began to remark that it was a tragic situation.

The 2016 election was tragic because our political system had become so empty and our elites so decadent that the only choice they could put before us was between, one, a career criminal dedicated to the corrupt and immoral culture that was already stripping our ideals of their meaning and, two, a graceless outsider who is a creation of that culture and so – despite his many talents and excellent instincts – has no understanding of our higher purposes and absolutely no clue how to behave.

Don’t get me wrong. Trump, in my opinion, has done a very good job as president of a decadent and shambolic republic. With the world economy damaged by the Chinese pandemic, it’s easy to forget how much he has accomplished. Where’s the ISIS caliphate Obama’s incompetence created? Gone. Where are the border invasions from the south? Over. Where are the economy-killing regulations? Repealed. Where are the anti-constitutional leftist judges, the anti-Israel policy, the cozying up to terrorist Iran?

And while the Left hurls insults at Trump relentlessly, who the hell are they to talk? Barack Obama was so amazingly corrupt he unleashed our legal and intelligence powers on an opposing political candidate. Governor Andrew Cuomo thinks vandalizing statues is legitimate protest. Governor Gretchen Whitmer bans church services then marches in mass protests. Their candidate for president is a morally empty and senile old man who is fit to serve as nothing but a ventriloquist dummy for radicals. They hate America – they say so. They don’t believe in free speech – they say that too.

In 2016, there was "nothing to lose" to borrow a phrase. So Trump’s the symptom not the disease? Which is the abject decades of FAILURE of those in the political class (Swamp both parties), who think themselves “elite” and refuse to protect and defend those who elected them. Who sold us out to World Big Money Changers and Big Tech... all who see us as rabble (Deplorables) as little above serfs! Who desire to amuse themselves by pitting us against each other in their putrid version of "Thunderdome!" They have fought Trump tooth and nail... no outrage or crime was not attempted. Yet he stands as of now!

In 2016, we had nothing to lose, now in 2020, without re-electing Trump we have everything to lose! Oh the #RustyIrony!

It's adorable when some nevertrumper nitwit eats crow off the white line down the middle of the road.

The day after Biden is sworn in, he will announce an executive order to abolish the U.S. Constitution. And even if he doesn’t do that, he has long held the founding document in disdain.

I genuinely admired klaven. Now I can’t be bothered to click a link to see what he has to say.

Love Andrew Klavan but perhaps a little perspective is in order when it comes to President Trump's behavior. At least he knew how to behave enough not to send old people off to die in nursing homes.

Biden doesn’t even know his own name..if it were just him I wouldn’t be terrified for this country but he’s a puppet for the bigger picture..everyone around him, Rice, Clapper, Brennan, you can bet Comey will be back in there, Lynch, all the rest of Obama’s hired goons will be back in destroying America..you can say adios to your guns, Kavanaugh will be impeached from the Supreme Court(Especially if the commies take back the Semate and keep the house) there will be open borders, you will have 20 mil per year of illegals flooding this country and they will be given citizenship automatically, there will NEVER be another Republican President again, ever..white people will be forced to give blacks billions of dollars in “Reparations” they will be forced to give up their homes to black families

Playing right into the Left’s hands. No matter how much they disliked Hillary’s behavior. THEY NEVER TRASHED HER BEFORE THE ELECTION. That’s because they know how to win elections. We can’t seem to grasp that and that’s why, in the long run, we will lose.

What sane, normal person would ever want to run for president after what they have done to Trump, before him- Bush, before him -Reagan.

DemocRATs MO is to destroy their enemies at all costs because they can’t win on ideas.

If Trump didn’t win, we’d have at least +50 million new illegals living in the country with all those caravans. We’d also have 2 new hard left SCOTUS justices, and we’d probably be fighting a proxy war with Russia instead of how we dismantled ISIS.

But hey. The Lincoln Project simps say they want Biden because “tRuE cOnSeRvAtIsM.” If being pro-Trump means I’m not a true conservative, then fine, I’m not a true conservative and want nothing to do with that label if that’s the case.

But we’re gonna Make America Great Again anyway! Sticks and stones.

Trump’s fisty nature is not a bug, it’s a feature. We got tired of compromising Republicans bowing to an enemy that never returned the favor. RATs are the party of evil and should be treated as such.

Anther IG so special “intellectual” telling me that Trump is to egotistical to see our higher purpose

What a joke. Trump donates his salary. Understands that without America the world is lost. He lives this country and what it stands for.

Brusk and I’ll mannered??? Too bad. Get over your own elite selves

That's the scary part. Whether President Trump wins or not, the next 4 years are going to fly by as fast as the last 4.

Who are Republicans going to run in '24?

I hope we find somebody as feisty as Trump. I don't think Pence has it in him.

Trump’s ego is mild compared to the arrogant global elites of the deep state.
As if Hilary wasn’t an ego maniac? LOL

Trump is boastful which some hate but it’s harmless.

The narcissism of the elites though, is very dangerous.

Biden is a blank check to the american communist party (BLM/ANTIFA), he is a brain dead shill.

Trump is great but yeah he could be better at speaking politically correctly, Trump is just trying to tread water while swirling in a flushing toilet with only cowardly republican lifeguards afraid to jump in or even to throw him a life preserver
