I think you've nailed a lot of hard-core Trump supporters exactly right. This did give them an opportunity to indulge their tantrums.
The problem is they forgot you have to win an election. And you have to at least start from the basis of nominating someone who is electable. For those of us NeverTrumpers, we dread the idea of a Hillary Clinton presidency and fully understand what that's going to mean. But that doesn't mean you can put anybody out there to run against her and tell us you have to vote that person to keep her out
We are heading on a very dark path. Not just economically and fiscally but culturally as well. A member of this site had a great line and I tell other people it and I wish I knew who it was . The line is Hillary Clinton represents everything that's wrong with government . Donald Trump represents everything that's wrong with society. My only regret is I wish I came up with that line
And those of us who favor limited government ,fiscal responsibility, rugged individualism of people engaging in honest pursuit of self interest are going to face some tough times in the next several years. The path we are on in this country if it's allowed, to continue has a very horrible ending. It appears, and probably a lot of truth to it, that we pile up on Donald Trump more than we pile up on Hillary Clinton. Some of that is because we all know how badly corrupt and incompetent Hillary is. We just feel a sense of disappointment that we don't have any real choice to counter that this election cycle
Now that a Clinton presidency is all but imminent, The anxiety level of such a presidency is going to increase. And no question Trump supporters are going to feel a certain bitterness towards conservatives for not helping get their guy over the finish line and I guess I can understand that to a degree. But it's Donald Trump and Donald Trump alone that will be responsible
@LMAO Good post. And you're right, the line you've been borrowing is right on target.
I'm just not going to allow myself to panic. The reality of a Clinton presidency will settle in soon enough, but no matter who's in the White House, the sun will come up every day and go down every night, we'll go about our days with our families, and God will still be in control.
There's only one point where we differ. I can't agree that Trump is completely to blame. He is who he is, and it was clear from the beginning. There's a wealth of information available about the man; anyone who wanted to find out about his past could have done so. Or if not, he revealed his nature over and over and over during his campaign. But his followers wanted to have their tantrum and "burn it all down", so they ignored all the warnings and all the attempts to reason with them. Well, it's all in ashes now, and they're going to have to live with the result. Unfortunately, so will the rest of us.
Yes, I do blame his supporters. Completely and without doubt.
