Why I Now Feel Compelled To Vote For Trump

10/23/2016 12:01:00 AM - Derek Hunter

Last time a Clinton was on the ballot, I voted for Ross Perot. My vote didn’t deny Bob Dole the White House, but I confess I felt a smug sense of satisfaction in “refusing to settle.” I sure showed them, didn’t I?

I haven’t been as vocal as other “Never Trump” writers, but neither have I hidden my dislike or tempered my criticism. In a field of 17 Republican candidates, Donald Trump wouldn’t have been my 18th choice. I’m still not a fan. But they didn’t just ask me; they asked everyone. And more of everyone chose Donald Trump.

I couldn’t do it, I just couldn’t. For countless reasons I’ve covered over the last year, I dug in my heels and proudly basked in my self-satisfaction. I still defended Trump in this column and on social media when he was wrongly attacked by the left and the media, but I was steadfast in my opposition to the man.

So what changed?

Saw this essay at TOS. Hilariously, most posters still rejected him for not genuflecting to Trump and begging forgiveness for being a critic. Even now.

And I still won't vote for Trump.

As we get closer to election day, more and more (like Mr. Hunter) are wising up:

"I oppose much of what Donald Trump has said, but I oppose everything Hillary Clinton has done and wants to do. And what someone says, no matter how objectionable, is less important than what someone does, especially when it’s so objectionable. A personal moral victory won’t suffice when the stakes are so high. As such, I am compelled to vote against Hillary by voting for the only candidate with any chance whatsoever of beating her – Donald Trump. "

I still may vote Trump.

You vote FOR it, you own it.

Moot point. Hillary will probably win and almost nobody here will vote for her.

I realize that. Nearly anything could happen this next coming week though. And it isn't over until the fat lady sings (I was going to say Hillary sings but it would be an insult to ladies) which thankfully is coming soon.

I will happily take credit for helping prevent Hillary from returning to the White House, knowing full well a Trump administration will probably end up being a fiasco.

It will be some consolation that I was in no way responsible for nominating him.

Actually 'we' own it as a country.   WE have failed miserably by letting special interests, the media, and globalists dictate our choices.

At this point there are only two bad options to be our next President.   Heck I'd love to see Trump win if for no other reason but to see the look on Hillary's face when she admits she's a loser.
