Hillary has declared that she will continue the failed Obama policies if she is elected president. Is that what you would want?

Who’s The Enemy?

It boggles my mind that some conservative G.O.P. members would vote for Hillary Clinton or not vote at all if Donald Trump gets the Republican nomination.  That’s like cutting off your nose to spite your face.  They totally ignore Reagan’s “80% Rule” which states that a Republican should vote for the Republican candidate who agrees with 80% of what you believe.  Whether you love or hate Donald Trump, I’m sure his views would meet that 80% plateau as compared with the 0% that Hillary Clinton (or Bernie Sanders) has spelled out.

I’ve voted for Republicans in the past who I felt fell short of what I believed, but I held my nose and voted for for both John McCain and Mitt Romney (before he became a Judas Iscariot by trashing Trump), as better than the alternative, Barack Hussein Obama.  Think of the millions of Republicans who didn’t vote in 2008 and 2012, because the candidates weren’t pure enough conservatives and look what we got, two terms of a totally inept president who has screwed up our country big time.  I think as weak as both McCain and Romney were, they would’ve been better than Obama.  Hillary has declared that she will continue the failed Obama policies if she is elected president.  Is that what you would want?

When we were kids, there were times when we did not get our way with our friends, and when that happened we threatened to or did take our ball or toy and head home in a pique.  Of course, that was a childish move, but it could be excused because of our age, but as adults, we should know better and not act like children.

You don’t have to accept or agree with everything Donald Trump says or does, but what is the sensible alternative, Hillary (or Bernie)?

The positions Donald Trump has taken and promises to fulfill are positions most conservative Republicans believe in such as; nominating a conservative Supreme Court justice in the image of Antonin Scalia; closing the southern border and tightening up visas issues to prevent illegal immigrants and drug traffickers free access into our country;  negotiating better trade agreements and better national security agreements with other countries; building up our military and taking better care of our veterans, etc., etc.  Neither Hillary nor Bernie believe in those sensible positions, so why even consider that they would or should deserve your vote instead of voting for Donald Trump?  Does it really make sense to vote for your ideological enemies ?

C’mon, conservative Republicans, wise up and stop your pettiness because your candidate didn’t make it in the primary.  If you want 4 more years of Obama, go ahead and vote for the enemy (Hillary).  You not only will hurt yourself, your family, your friends, but also the country as a whole.  We will then continue on the “road to perdition” on our way to becoming a second-rate country, in the image of Europe.  We don’t want to become the United States of Europe, do we?

So, if you vote for Hillary and she becomes president, you can then say you have met the enemy and it is us.
