3 months after the election trump's morals that he exhibited in not only 2005 but through his entire lifetime including the past 12 months would indeed be utterly relevant. His only concern is and has always been for himself.
So far, so good. And concurrent to that, I wonder (along with a good many people, some of whom have published
their wonderings) where the
hell the opposition researchers among the Republican primary candidates were,
that
they couldn't unearth the P@ssy Tape during the heat of the primary when the field was still quite crowded.
Bad enough: the Republican primary pack was the epitome of witlessness. Worse: They couldn't even be said to have
dropped the balls when they had no balls to drop in the first place.
Add to that the complete lack of intellectual abilities and no desire to bother himself with the complexities that come with the issues facing our country topped off with absolutely no moral compass and serious psychological problems including narcissism, issues with being a sexual predatory and his view that as president he would govern with presidential edicts as our king and then I would argue that yes he would do much more long-term harm to the country than anyone else.
The best book I have read thus far that argues against the inclination to consider a president akin to a king is F.H.
Buckley's
The Once and Future King. The saddest postscript to reading that book? The author himself recently
came out in support of Donaldus Minimus---the boy who would be king.
I have never bought into the Supreme Court appointments argument because trump has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that his word is not to be believed and there is no doubt in my mind that he could care less about Christian values. He cares about what will get him elected.
I concur about Donaldus Minimus's word. But I'm not concerned with appointing Supreme Court justices who will
uphold "values"; I'm concerned with appointing Supreme Court justices who will construe the Constitution reasonably.
With a Democratic presidential candidate to whom the Constitution is just so flexible as to be Silly Putty, and a
Republican presidential candidate who probably thinks the Constitution is some ancient decommissioned battleship
on display somewhere like a museum piece, there are two chances we'll see Supreme Court nominees who will
construe the Constitution reasonably---slim and none.
Hillary as president is not something I desire and is also something I fear. I thank the original cheerleaders of trump for the position we are in. I will be voting third party. But, again, trump would no doubt do greater long term harm to our country. Finally, when people go into a booth and vote, if they pull the lever or fill in the screen choosing trump they are choosing to support a man who is evil and capable of anything to further himself along with satisfying his own personal perversions. trumpism is a stain upon our country and trumpism deals with opponents as something to be destroyed by any and all means. That is a grave danger for our country.
Between Trumpism and Clintonism, the deeper this campaign goes to Election Day the deeper becomes my conviction
that voting "None of These Candidates," the Nevada option since my state lacks a write-in vote, is the only vote a
reasonable man or woman can cast without wanting to puke.
