Conservative Reasons To Vote For Trump

183 Comments

Five of them. I agree, even though I think he’d be terrible. Especially on the last one.

[Sunday-morning update]

Since the topic has come up in comments, it’s worth noting that while Trump talks dirty, Juanita Broaddrick still relives her brutal rape by Bill Clinton. And expect the Democrats (of which she, like Kathleen Willey, used to be one) to continue to attack her and imply that she is a liar, or a “narcissistic loony tune,” as they do with all of his victims.

Hillary is (faux) shocked, shocked at Trump’s crude language. The hypocrisy is overwhelming.

[Late-afternoon update]

Juanita Broaddrick wants to be believed.

And the Left and the Clinton mafia want to victimize her again.

[Monday-morning update]

A reminder of what Hillary did to Kathleen Willey. It’s who she is. It’s what she does.

Without it, we might not have a terror problem at all.

My confidence in the FBI is pretty much zero at this point.

Speaking of the FBI, nothing that Comey says about the Clinton investigation makes any sense. Well, if you assume the fix was in from the beginning (as she told Brett Baier), it does.

From (Democrat, AFAIK) Jonathan Turley:

Of all of the individuals who would warrant immunity, most would view Mills as the very last on any list. If one assumes that there may have been criminal conduct, it is equivalent to immunizing H.R. Haldeman and John D. Ehrlichman in the investigation of Watergate.

Why, it’s almost as though there was no intent to seriously investigate.

This is gangster government, and it will only get worse if she gets into the White House. At least Trump will be more likely to be reined in by Congress (perhaps even impeached and removed).

Good question, from a smart prosecutor: “What more would she have had to do to get you to prosecute her?”

Falling Man

It’s hard to come up with anything new to say about 9/11, but in the midst of this insane election, I think that this picture could be viewed by many as a metaphor for America, and the overreactionary result was Donald Trump, a man manifestly unqualified for the presidency, whose disqualifying characteristics are exceeded only by those of his sickly, corrupt, incompetent, mendacious, felonious opponent.

I don’t think that Trump will prove to be the parachute that saves the nation — he’s far too ignorant and contemptuous of the Constitution (and much else) — but many do, and that is how he has gotten as far as he has, and may yet win the presidency. And if he does, I think that history will record that the seeds of his victory, for good or ill, were sown on a bright sunny September Tuesday in 2001, and the feckless response of the nation’s “leadership” through three presidential cycles since.

Falling man, falling presidential candidate.

I should note that one of the reasons I’m showing this picture is that too many people think we shouldn’t see it or be reminded, which gets back to the fecklessness of our “elites.”

Crooked Hillary

The name should and will stick: She’s either criminal, or criminally incompetent, or both.

[Update a few minutes later]

The civil service system is broken: we had to find out about her emails from a hacker. #Transparency

Public-employee unions should be abolished, and we need reform of the civil service, which has become a one-party weapon against the people.

[Update a couple minutes later]

The ethics wall between Hillary and her foundation didn’t extend to her State Department staff. This is insane. Criminally insane.
