You might want to consider dropping this virtue signal.  It condemns damn near everyone reading it as an ill-informed troglodyte.

And I'm sure this isn't your intent.

Just in case anyone forgot, millions of principled and religious conservatives voted for Trump in ’16 and helped him get elected, and even more of them will vote for him in ‘20 based on Trump’s pro-life agenda in office.

So, yeah, I have issues with “principled” conservatives saying they need an incentive to re-elect Trump.

I just keep getting more reason to vote Nevada's "None of These Candidates" option for the presidency every day. It's the choice I've made in every presidential and Congressional election since I moved here in 2007. (Nevada's congressional delegation and its challengers have been no prize packages, either.) I haven't regretted it yet, and I'm sure I won't regret it again in November.

Voting (straight-ticket) Republican in November, as flawed as this is, is the only way to keep the principles of fiscal conservatism alive.
--------------------------------------
Look RIV, you're earnest and well meaning but you gotta get real.
The Republicans were errand boys for the NE Mercantile Class before the
Civil War and an anti-slavery party. Post war they championed industrialism.
They had nothing to do w/principled conservatism, not even for a day;
as it was a campaign slogan to round up votes and campaign dollars!
During the 75 years from Johnson to Hoover, they were politically ascendant promoting:
*  centralized government and opposing states rights,
*  trade protectionist duties and tariffs rather than free trade,
*  judicial activism rather than restraint and original intent.
When FDR assumed office in 1933, the Democrats adopted this program which
has us where we are at this moment.
If we have a future, it lies w/Jefferson, Madison and Monroe, so please alert me
when their clones are located!!!

@EasyAce

I wish we had a "none of the above" option in Pennsylvania.  I promised my father I would always vote and except for illness, I have kept that promise.  This year I am leaning toward not voting at all and for no good reason other than I don't want any of the candidates from the president on down.  If PA had a "none of the above" option, I could still vote and keep my promise to Dad.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The reality is what you've been doing and the the vast majority of the GOP has been doing isn't working.

And if you keep doing what your doing it will only end in economic collapse.

Until enough people have the courage to leave the plantation and not reward those who are destroying us nothing will change for the better in any real lasting sense.

Your only answer is the other side is worse. So you are stuck in fear trying to hold on to what little you have left accepting whatever morsels offered to avoid that worse alternative. Essentially owning you and your vote no matter what they do - because you say you have no other choice and will vote for them...  In the mean time it is all slipping away.

And as long as you and others accept that bargain, we all lose. As demonstrated year after year. Decade after decade. What cannot continue will not continue. Time is running out if it hasn't already.

That's the hard cold reality of the situation.

That jolt is coming regardless of whom is in charge. I kind of look at whats going on now as buying time by controlling the descent and pray for a miracle.

Goin on THREE TIMES the money Obummer spent, and that in only for years...

That is 'controlled descent?

@LMAO

Thank you.  While I was in isolation, I dug up You Tube videos of Dangerfield, particularly a few of his appearances on the Tonight Show.  Those videos kept me from going completely insane.  I miss Dangerfield.  He was one of my favorite comedians.

@Right_in_Virginia
What bullcrap!
All y'all, YOU personally say those principles don't matter anymore.
If not by any other means, then with your votes. And BELIEVE me there are many other means. The arguments I have endured as y'all try to justify it are manifold.

I agree.   Just think how successful Trump could be if his most ardent supporters could develop some interpersonal skills in their quest for persuading principled conservatives to vote for him.

Some people around here seem not to care about stopping the democrats. They’re gonna vote the way they’re gonna vote. Period.

They must believe that if it all blows up and democrats take all three branches, that things in America will get so bad that somehow a Conservative Star will rise from the ashes to save their sorry butts.

...they also must believe they’ll win the mega millions lottery.

No, I believe it doesn't matter which side you choose. It's the same thing. And Tump is doing nothing but proving it.

I  hope Trump wins.  But that still the hell means I don't have to like the jerk.  Or point out the stupid shit he says.

@catfish1957

I have never understood why it was necessary to personally like ANY politician in order to vote for them. We are electing these people,not marrying them.

Analogy in my mind, is that the choices are:

(1) Torch the Garden (unprincipled non-conservative GOP)
(2) Salt the Garden (allow unilateral control by dims)

At least with scenario 1, the sub-surface seeds live, and there's hope for return.

You forgot 3:
Go build another garden. Because all y'all (they) are never ever gonna set the fire.

Oh, blah , blah, blah.  The choice is unchanged and remains yours .... vote to keep conservatism alive or ego vote to kill it off for good. :shrug:

This is not Conservatism.

You're a funny guy, @catfish1957

After seeing firsthand what the man has accomplished facing insurmountable attacks by an adversarial media...all in 3 years??

They manufactured a phony bank crisis to give us Barack Obama.  And then they got in cahoots with the Chinese Communist Party to serve up a pandemic.

...and he's STILL going to kick their ass come November.

@DCPatriot

They could have never done it without the  help of the Bush Crime Family working as the middlemen through their "Chinese Chamber of Commerce" to broker the deals.
