I'm also a realist. There's no way in hell that we wouldn't be better off today had McCain won in '08, or Romney in '12. Barry Soetoro has done an insane amount of damage.
I've said from the get go that I was a Cruz guy, but that I could envision a scenario where I would vote for Trump, and the scenario has presented itself.
Donald Trump is not McCain and not Romney. He's not Bush, and he's not Dole. Trump is NOT the next old white guy in line. He's hated by the establishment GOP, and I view that as a plus. He is also not a career politician. He has spent his adult life actually creating jobs. Other candidates talk about it, but he's actually done it. It's a by-product of being a successful businessman. I believe that Donald Trump truly loves the United States. Compare that to Hillary or Bernie, who hate the US with a passion, and would prefer that we turn into the USSR.
On Gary Johnson, his position, as stated a few posts above, on the border and immigration, is pretty much what I heard him say on the subject. Maybe Johnson is a patriot; he probably is. But, he is fatally wrong on that subject. I drive though places that are heavily populated with illegal Hispanic invaders, with great frequency. Those places are dangerous and filthy. Those people are not here to assimilate. They are here to soak up our resources, and send them back home. They are essentially bringing the culture that they have fled into our own.
Not only do I want to see a wall built, I want to see illegal immigrants executed on the spot, as enemy invaders, if they are caught here a second time. We do not need anything from that region. We have plenty of welfare recipients that can easily push brooms, pick cabbage, run cash registers, lawn mowers, and weed whackers. We have teenagers for that sort of thing, too. If we can get the government to back off in the agricultural department, we wouldn't need to import produce from that region.
Donald Trump does not hate the Constitution. As Bob pointed out, he is ignorant of it. Though, I think that he is less ignorant of it than he comes off.
Look, no one wants to get back to living by the Constitutional principles more than I. The Constitution is the closest thing to living by God's idea of Free Will that we can get with out having Anarchy. It's a beautiful thing.
But I also understand that we'll never get there until the Mexican Invasion has ceased, the Islamic Invasion has ceased, the UN has been kicked out, and we remind the rest of the world that we are still the World Superpower. Donald Trump seems to want to do these things. Sure, he could be lying. But, we know where everyone else, who's still running, stands on the matter, and they are all standing in the wrong place.
I will vote for Donald Trump. I will not hold my nose when doing so. And my conscience will be clear. I will not view my vote as one for the lesser of two evils; it will be a vote to preserve the United States as a Nation. Once we reestablish our nation as one with clear and definite borders, we can worry about reestablishing ourselves as a Constitutional Republic.
