Taken from post above ^^ "And so where the voter is concerned, there are two camps. Those who know right from wrong and vote accordingly; and those who feign not to know right from wrong and vote accordingly."

Thus barring any revelations (of the factual variety) of Presidential improprieties which actually do meet the "High crimes and misdemeanors" threshold, here is the way I see things for the coming Presidential election.


First and obviously as was the case in 2016, we have only two viable options. Republican or Democrat.

To vote Republican is to reelect a man who despite the daily fusillade of smears, libel and slander coming his way by way of his political foes, is doing a remarkably good job and truly does represent the legitimate concerns of every citizen of the land. A man whom I believe does his best to align his decisions with the stated philosophical motivations of the founders, as are outlined in the founding documents of this land. As well as being the most successful pro free enterprise and pro Church President of my time. I mean, I thought Reagan's financial turnaround and support of an unimpinged Church were impressive. But his example was no more impressive or instantaneous than has been that of MR Trump.

To vote Democrat is to reward the party which has in the opinion of many, committed dereliction of their oaths to see to the people's business, instead squandering untold millions of tax dollars in the effort to remove the people's duly elected President. And could elect yet another dreamer of the John Lennon ilk, ("Imagine" that) to the most powerful seat of high office in the world. A Dem whose only distinction is that he/she is either an avowed socialist, or a liberal conformist beset with the willful burdens of special interests and political correctness. Admittedly such whimsicalities are impressive to those spending their days on a blanket spread out on the grass of LA's MacArthur Park. But one who if their campaign rhetoric is to be believed, will without question abandon the concerns of conservative America on the one hand, while on the other continue to tax same at an existential rate for the sake of those who favor excuses and blame over personal responsibility and sacrifice.

The above is not said while overlooking the reluctance of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell or that of former Speaker Paul Ryan to support the President's agenda. Which agenda by the way was and is to be deemed equally, the will of people. I know in Obama's case it most certainly was. But therefore warts notwithstanding, and in admission and observance of our society's overarching and unfortunate slide into moral and historical obscurity, (that by way of contrast between things as they are now with things as they were as recently as the 1980's) ; the pragmatist's choice still stands. Republicans as flawed as some of them are, nonetheless most closely align themselves with the traditionally conservative values of our past.
