“I am certain that only Trump
would have defeated Clinton.
In other words, I believe that Trump
may have saved the country.
And that, in my book,
covers a lot of sins—foolish tweets included.”

Hillary rather than Trump? There’s no shortage of morons in the Republican Party.
Hillary rather than Trump. I’m not a fan of Trump, but Hillary Clinton?! You’d rather vote for Hillary!? Rina, please read this. Rina is one of the reasons why I am no longer a Republican. Is it any surprise that she’s part of the Establishment?

The Disengaged
Of course, this is a big concern for society in general. I don’t know when the last time my younger brother voted. He told me a few years back that he wasn’t registered, which came as a surprise. I just don’t understand why more Americans don’t take it seriously.
Yes, my voting record is wonkish, because I am a political wonk. I was labeled as such by a reporter once. I’d never heard the word before that. It was 1994, the year after I had graduated from high school.
I haven’t watched C-SPAN in years, but would if it was more readily available. I don’t have cable. In fact, I don’t even own a TV. Streaming video-on-demand is where it’s at. I suppose I should check-in more often.
There’s American History TV, Q&A, and Book TV. One of my favorite C-SPAN shows was Booknotes. And it’s always fun to watch British Parliament in action, during Prime Minster’s Questions, and often very entertaining.
Even I have become disengaged, however. Life often has more pressing concerns than politics. But I still find the time to vote, researching the issues and candidates, sometimes hurriedly so.
The Republican Party, long my home in the political realm, hasn’t been for a long time. I am a conservative, and many Republican politicians abandoned their conservative principles, if they had any, long ago.
And I am far from the only way who feels abandoned by the system. One of the reasons for the Donald Trump phenomenon is because the two primary political parties, represented by the Establishment, have ignored the will of the American people for decades.
This gave rise to the Tea Party movement, and now Trump. It will continue to find an outlet, until there is some progress, until someone listens to the voice of the people, and acts on it.

Embracing David Duke?
Falling for a drive-by media meme? I thought Senator Sasse was smarter than that. Gave him way more credit than he deserves, sadly.
Who is talking about embracing David Duke, anyway? No one, that’s who. Trying to smear by accusation is just wrong, Senator Sasse. Repeating DNC talking points ain’t a good way of furthering your career or defending the party.
I left the Republican Party a long time ago, or rather the Republicans left me behind, abandoning common sense conservatism and embracing big government liberalism.
I am not a fan of Donald Trump, generally. But if it’s a choice between him and Hillary, that’s a no-brainer.
After watching the clip of him on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, I just have this to say:
I agree a lot with his points on Trump, Putin, China, and the Republican Party et al, but . . .
What a weasel.
We cannot afford Hillary as president.
