My friend, Jesus will WEEP if HRC is elected. If you care about the Holocaust of the Unborn, you will not stand by and surrender SCOTUS to HRC! This is why I'm trying to get to Hoot. If HRC gets elected, it will be conservatives that put her in office!

Protecting the unborn has been a top issue of mine. I don't trust Donald Trump on it. Once again he had a major opportunity to come out swinging after the result of the Texas case, he chose not to.

I cast my vote for Ted Cruz in the primary, but don't have an emotional attachment to any one politician so I would have had no problem voting for almost any of the others with the exception of George Pataki who would be completely out of the question because of his stance on abortion and homosexuality. Ted Cruz aside, the voters had plenty of options, most of them being strongly pro-life and almost all of them (with the exception of Pataki who is openly pro-choice) taking a stronger stance on defending the unborn than Trump. Be it Paul, Rubio, or whoever, most of the others had a good record on that issue. Thus, I hold those who voted Trump in the primary more responsible than those who lack the confidence to vote for him now based on some of his actions. I know many of the people that voted for Trump were frustrated, rightfully so, and Trump capitalized on that. There were plenty of good people to choose from though in a race that was, IMO, one of the strongest and most deep fields the Republicans have ever sent.

At this point I just don't have enough confidence in Donald Trump based on several factors which you are welcome to PM me about (just too much material to cover here). I would like that to change, but watching how him and his supporters have treated other conservatives I just don't think the party will be healed in time for the election. I'm not entirely out of the question on Trump though. Hillary Clinton, Jill Stein, and Gary Johnson are completely out of the question. Darrell Castle is the only other one I would vote for. I'm still sitting back, watching everything unfold and going from there.

Regarding Hoot, I'll throw this in since you just recently rejoined the forum. Hoot can speak for himself, but he has been quite frustrated since the 2012 election and has consistently stated that if the Republicans sent another candidate like Romney or McCain, that he would be leaning third party. He's been a lot more frustrated with the party than has TRT, or even myself. This is not somebody that supported someone like Jeb Bush or Lindsey Graham either. Hoot is also not a fan of the establishment types such as Paul Ryan that have unfortunately helped drag things into the ground. Hoot stated on different occasions that he would not vote for someone like Jeb Bush and wasn't a fan of Trump from day one. Thus, even though he is not a Trump fan, you're dealing with someone who was already pretty disgruntled from biting his tongue to vote for people such as Dole, Bush, McCain, and Romney.

I vowed I would lay out of discussions on this issue, but if you listen to my case and, agree or disagree, are understanding then rest assured you will have an engaged reader/listener here. :Thumbs:

You just recently came back so this disregards you, but I think if everybody would just slow down and think before lashing out posts full of insults then we would be able to have a much better dialogue.
