Donald Trump was my 17th choice for president in 2016, and the only reason I could bring myself to vote for a man I considered unsuited for the job was, the alternative was Hillary Clinton. No need to go through the reasons; it’s a long list, starting with cattle futures and proceeding to the corrupt-to-its-eyeballs Clinton Foundation. Say what you will about Trump (and there is so much to say), his wealth was earned in the private sector. The Clinton’s was “earned” by exploiting their political power, actual and potential.
We have a pretty good idea why Trump got the Republican nomination; his supporters see him as a rebuke to a ruling class that they believe (with more than a bit of justification) sees them as deplorable, and has abandoned them to a heartless, soulless globalism that denigrates the United States and them as its citizens. That’s the polite way of putting it. “Sharp stick in the eye” is probably closer to the mark. Looked at this way, Trump’s crudity (sexual and otherwise), ego and loud mouth aren’t bugs, they’re features, putting our “betters” in their place. The fact that he was anything but part of the Republican establishment was his biggest selling point, and, for that, his many faults and sins could and would be tolerated.
So how to explain Hillary Clinton? Even with her many faults and sins, she was quintessential Democratic establishment. Here was a woman at the very center of power for over 25 years, yet blatantly, obviously corrupt and arguably worse. The establishment is supposedly the best and brightest the party has to offer. Was she the best the Democrats could do? This is what I simply can’t understand....

Like we really care what this douche has to say.
This guy lost me at trump governs like any other moderate republican.....
Not even close....
The rest of his article is hand wringing, pearl clutching drivel....
Glad you’re back on board, who ever you are, but I do question your sanity. If you think that the likes of a Jim Gilmore, Bobby Jindal, John Kasich, George Pataki or Rick Santorum would have been more capable than DJT you have no business writing a political column.
Trump is our first fighting warrior President in the culture war. Even Reagan did not give these scumbag collectivists the disrespect they so richly deserve. Trump has been the best President I’ve seen in my lifetime.
I really don’t understand stuff like this.
If you are an insane SJW and you want to argue that you despise Trump because he is, you know, Hitler. Well, at least I know where you’re coming from: you are insane.
But this guy seems to vote Republican. And he despises Trump? Trump makes him want to take a long hot shower? Maybe this guy watches CNN too much. Because Trump is a fantastic human being and a fantastic president. I will vote enthusiastically in 2020.
DemocRATS: America ‘Guilty Until Proven Innocent’ ready for Socialism.
I was a not a Trumpster, now I am on board and enjoying the ride.
Trump was the only reason to vote.
I have supported him, since before he even announced he was a candidate.
He is the best candidate, we have run in a very, very long time.
For far too long, we were supporting this guy, who was for that group. Or that guy, who was for the opposite group.
Both sides meanwhile, were busy selling out the country.
Trump is for America.
It is about darned time, someone was on our side, for a change.
Both parties, have been sold out, for far, far too long.
Donald Trump came along, in the nick of time.
Just my view.
People with walnut-sized brains shouldn’t put their tortured thought processes on public display. Reading this was like watching somebody running the Indy 500 in a golf cart.
bump
Trump is a gift from God. Plain and simple. The only person with the balls and stamina to take on the swamp and save the Republic from extinction.
Good ole Kenny should take his Johnson to Wisconsin. How does a guy get an article like that published???
Just click bait.
I’m happy to hear he will vote for Trump, but seriously, what a pathetic Nancy-Boy he is.
After FOUR Presidents in a row fully committed to fundamentally transforming the country into North Mexico, it was an act of Divine Providence that Donald Trump stepped up to give US the chance to keep our country.
Who cares?
Totally agree.
Love Trump.
When he speaks, he speaks for me.
I love everything he says and does abd I despise people who do not or people who qualify their support like this jerk.
Kenneth is a pussy and I don't give a fat rat's ass about his "feelings".
If he votes for Trump, good.
MAGA!!!
