Well I'm gald to se someone else say it. I'd rather see the Hildabeast get elected than vote for Trump.
Here's the problem:
The party leaders wanted to give us Jeb. When he couldn't make it, they'd have gladly settled for Rubio or Kasich or even Christie. They don't like Carson (conservative) and they don't like Cruz (conservative). Bottom line: They don't like real conservatives. They like David Brooks type conservatives, which is to say, they don't like everyday average, fly-over country type conservatives (you know; normal people), but rather they like moderate-liberal to liberal candidates who call themselves conservatives.
All the party leaders had to do was to get behind Cruz, go strong conservative on ISIS, border security, trade, getting rid of Obamacare, job creation via lowering taxes and creating incentives for people to go into business, etc... Instead, they try and feed us the same promises we know are empty and they have no intention of doing once they get into office. This time, no dice.
Hillary is an extension of Dear Leader, so we're looking at the status quo and let's give away things to our constituents to try to appease and keep them from coming to our houses with torches and pitchforks. Besides, we can't afford her. Debt will be $40 trillion before she's done.
And who knows, maybe Trump will be just as bad or worse. But once you reach a certain level, what's the difference between getting tossed out of a plane without a parachute from 10,000 feet or 12,000 feet? So you get 2,000 more feet to think about how hard the ground is going to be. Same end result.
So it seems a lot of people are willing to roll the dice with Trump because they figure it can't be any worse than if Billary wins. I see their point. Whether I agree or not isn't relevant, but I do see why they are thinking the way they are.
And does anyone think if the R's lose this year that the leadership will permit a real conservative to run and stand a chance next time around? I don't think so. In fact, we may never see another final GE candidate that's a real conservative run again unless they run as an independent or a third party. We will be stuck with liberal and liberal-lite from the two major parties from here until the USA falls in on itself which, given the history of liberalism, is just a matter of time.
