I'm still in the Trump realist camp too. Desperately wishing I could find something about Trump to be for, instead of just being against Hillary. Last night's speech didn't help. Nothing truly conservative about it. He's just gonna be "our" big government guy. Or at least so he says. Since I trust him about as much as warm roadside food truck sushi, I can't say I have a clue as to what he's really gonna do if/when he gets to DC
Oh, now that is funny AND original. I love it.
That said, all of this discussion about what Trump would do or wouldn't do is moot, IMO. His Wednesday night stunt against Cruz just cemented the distrust and dislike he had already created among Cruz fans.
I had fully resigned myself to vote for him this November, even tho I doubted he would win. Hell, I was even feeling warm and fuzzy about the convention events, even if not fully 'on board' the orange crazy train. But Wednesday nite's ambush and setup of Cruz sealed the 'deal' for me. It proved, in my mind, that nothing had changed since the vicious primary campaign. Trump was still Trump, IOW.
Instigating boos and assaulting Heidi on their way out is something that only supposedly happens in banana republics and communist nations. We have officially been fundamentally transformed, already, apparently. And that's all thanks to liberals (now called leftists).
The last thing we need is to elect yet another liberal to the highest office in the land....even if Trump could win the election, which he can't without the conservative base votes. He, himself, has managed to eliminate that possibility via his very own hateful rhetoric and actions. Trump is a tweet-addicted twittering twit and not fit for the office. He has proven that time and time again, and especially Wednesday night and after, with his insulting tweets about Cruz (he just never knows when to quit the BS).
So....alas, I find myself no longer on the outside of both camps. I have decided to join the #neverTrump movement. Why? Aside from the reasons already listed, I am convinced that at least with a Hillary win, we can and probably will impeach, assuming we retain majority control of both houses. If not, it's all down the tubes anyway. And considering how badly the GOP has treated its base in the last couple of years and throughout this primary season, there's not much chance that the GOP will retain that majority control. So Trump would never be able to do anything he promises anyway. It would be just another go along while getting along and 'oh well, maybe next election' BS cycle of downward spiral. No thanks. Been there, done that to death.
Fighting Hillary would be our only chance, since there would be no will whatsoever to fight Trump, even if he miraculously beat Hillary (fat cankle chance). So I am now resigned in another direction. Great work, Donald. You have earned the loss of yet another vote.
