Kellyanne Conway walks away from TV interview while trying to explain Trump’s refusal

[Resp3]

There are two choices, Trump or Hillary.   Thats it.   Choosing not to vote is a failure to do ones duty to the country and will make things a little bit worse.    It doesn't send a message, it doesn't teach the party a lesson, it doesn't advance conservatism, it only hurts.

Hurts? Hurts who?

If I don't vote, then I don't vote for Trump. So that hurts him and the Republican Party? I'm also not voting for Hillary. So that helps Trump and the GOP.

You and others with your "not voting for Trump is a vote for Hillary" line of BS are foolish.

[driftdiver]

You have blurted out that nonsense as far back as I can remember. It's still nonsense. You need a new script. Yours got us where we are.

So theres a 3rd candidate with a chance of winning?

Losing is not a winning strategy. 

[Norm Lenhart]

So theres a 3rd candidate with a chance of winning?

Losing is not a winning strategy.

I'm not interested in a liberal winning. Nor will I help one win. If that means losing, so be it. The responsibility for that liberal's actions will be on you.

[driftdiver]

My ballot says there are more than two options. Has a space for a write in too. Trump has earned my scorn, not my vote. As has Hillary. So they will not get it.

It's that simple, you cannot change it and lying about our choices only makes you look foolish.

Lying?   Nobody else has a chance of winning.  The other two top out at about 7% in the polls COMBINED.   All they can do is take votes away from one of the other two.

You like voting for losers.  Thats why you have no hope of ever backing a winner.  Why would anyone listen to and be persuaded by your message of losing?

You did say definitively there were two choices did you not? My ballot, which I have in hand shows four choices and a write in.

Now since your definitive statement stands in direct contradiction to the ballot in my hand, yes, you are absolutely lying.

You can OPINE  that there are two choices that in YOUR OPINION can only win. But you didn't do that.

[Jazzhead]

Keep dreaming. 

Yes, I'll keep dreaming, like Walt Whitman:

I dream'd in a dream, I saw a city invincible to the
attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth;

I dream'd that was the new City of Friends;

Nothing was greater there than the quality of robust
love—it led the rest;

It was seen every hour in the actions of the men of
that city,

And in all their looks and words.

Sorry,  LB,  I'm simply not a pessimist by nature,  not when it comes to the resiliency and greatness of this nation.  When the election's over,  I'll continue to advocate for Reagan's vision, which was, let's not forget, largely achieved with the help of a Congress led by the opposite party.

I said two choices with a chance of winning.   Perhaps I should talk S  L   O   W  E R


Show me another Presidential election where ANY candidate who was polling less than 8% 3 weeks before the election ended up winning.

[Resp3]

The fact that you think the son of a Cuban born in Canada is eligible under original intent, tells me all I need to know about your intellectual abilities and your conservative boifides.

Irrational and incorrect thinking like this is what lead us to having Trump as a candidate. If anyone thinks they understand "original intent" then they are fooling themselves.

I don't know if you were lucid enough to see the debate last night, but your boy Donny said there is only one person with a chance of winning. He said it is a rigged game and the will lose because of it.

Still only your opinion because you can't predict the future. Instead of typing slower, you should take a civics and history class.

People like this are great bellweathers. There's a huge chance that the opposite of what they say turns out to be true. I rarely see it fail.

Jazz, I'm not being pessimistic but realistic.  Even with your Reaganist vision; exactly how do you see anything gets accomplished with the Constitution ignored by the SCOTUS tilted to the left a DEM majority in both Houses and millions of additional DEMS eligible to vote?  Many of the new voters won't know Reagan's America, nor the patriotism that was the very core of his success.

LB, that's why I quoted Whitman's poem.   I'm not worried about new immigrants.  All my grandparents were immigrants.  The idea and promise of America is infectious.  It can't be killed by Hillary Clinton.

The time for conservatives/republicans to fight it out between themselves was the primaries. Anyone that voted in the GOP primaries but does not vote GOP in general is a fraud. A spoiled brat, your typical teenage girl is more mature then these NeverTrumpers.

Voting for some irrelevant third party candidate makes you irrelevant and nobody pays any attention to folks that make themselves irrelevant.

All chiefs (I know better than you) and no Indians never won a battle. Making good the enemy of prefect never advanced an agenda. Politics is the art of the practical, not a science. 

Democrats are vastly better at politics than we are. Democrats stick together no matter what, Republicans run for cover at the first hint of trouble. Until we learn discipline and stand by our candidate even if we are less then trilled with him, we will continue to lose ground to the Rats. Sadly there is no more ground to lose. Hillary means the end of America, Trump means we live to fight another day.

The 'game' was over when they handed Trump the nomination. Voting districts have been redrawn and favor the DEMS and the DEMS have outnumbered the GOP in registering new voters.  Hillary Clinton will be the first female president.  She has been lying, cheating, manipulating, and fighting her entire life to achieve the presidency.  NOTHING (other than an act of God) is going to stop her.  NOTHING.

Donald is disappointed by your disloyalty. You failed him. You could not bring us to heel.

You were disloyal to Donald. Feel his disappointment flow through you. Feel his sadness. Do the right thing.

It seems that you are forgetting that there is a chance that a 3rd party candidate could deny either Trump or Hillary the majority needed to secure the White House.  In that event, the House selects the president from the 3 candidates with the greatest number of electoral votes.  Right now McMullin is winning in Utah.  Johnson could win New Mexico.  There is a possibility that voting 3rd party could actually throw the election to the House.  There are some who are willing to take that chance.

Until the 1930s when Congress pasted a law allowing mothers to pass on citizenship Ted Cruz would not even be a citizen of the USA. Did you get that? Cruz would not even be  citizen of the USA until the 1930's. Now how is someone that would not even be a citizen under orginal intent and Natural Born Citizen. This I've got to hear.

If a law passed by Congress makes you a citizen you are BY DEFINITION A NATURALIZED CITIZEN.

[Frank Cannon]

Wake up. Conservatives are not fighting with you GOP'ers. We are letting you hang yourself with your loser candidate all on your own.

[LottieDah]

Then people better make plans for building a new country after the collapse. Preferably one where the people that destroyed this one (Liberals/Trump supporters) are banned from entry.

Or figure out how to survive under the Red Queen because thems da' choices. Trump is not an option.

We can build a wall to keep all the liberal/Trumpanzee's from entering.

[skeeter]

To Paraphrase a recent movie, Hillary's not the president America needs, but she's the president America deserves.

Time to hunker down folks. Its gonna be a bumpy ride.

It's a small chance, but one I'm willing to vote for.   And besides, my vote against Trump is, IMO, a vote to help save conservatism.   I want conservatism to reflect Reagan's optimistic vision, not Trump's racialist nihilism.   

There is a positive good to Trump being soundly repudiated by patriots of all stripes.

Flailing does not lessen the disappointment Donald feels toward your disloyalty. You need to atone. Atone for the sin of disappointing Donald.
