It would bring me no sorrow to awaken tomorrow and find that Donald Trump had withdrawn as the GOP's candidate in the race for President of the United States, replaced by Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio or Scott Walker or Bobby Jindal – even Mitt Romney – or nearly any other lukewarm body who has, in the last two decades, been at least as conservative as Keith Olbermann. (It seems Hillary's team feared such a list.)

That has been my position in the past when there was even the slight chance the candidate would honor the party platform tempered first by the Constitution, the latter, obviously being the more important part.

I don't see that, especially the latter, being a remote possibility now. I see a candidate who looks at the Constitution as nothing he needs to honor. .

This particular author said this a few months ago:

Quote

Any lofty claims about “making America great again” -- especially by biblically-illiterate, adulterous, strip-club owning, casino magnates like Donald Trump -- that aren’t accompanied by a corresponding commitment to goodness -- to truth and righteousness -- are mere hyperbole rooted in vain folly.

No one is going to replace Trump and he's not going to drop out. As for the GOP party platform, wasn't that one of the main objectives of the Convention besides the obvious objective of nominating the presidential candidate? I haven't heard anything out of Trump that would indicate any sort of adherence to the GOP platform.

Too bad the GOP party platform is what they use to wipe their ass in the cloak room on Capitol Hill.

That didn't start with Trump.

It didn't.....but Donny is the first candidate so damaged and terrible that this argument about party platform needed to be invented.

Anything not leftist will be called racist, anti-Semitic and everything but anti-spasmodic.

Well, in that particular case, it isn't that Jared Taylor 'isn't a leftist', he is actually an overt, in your face, White Nationalist. One of the founders of Stormfront, Amren, and CCC. He is about as 'out' in that regard as David Duke.

We have sufficient evidence that Trump will do whatever is necessary to win. I'm actually feeling more confident about him coming through if elected because he's shown he won't bow to the Democrats unlike the "Republicans". He has a divisive personality, you either love him or hate him. He might not be a choir boy, but he won't try to dismantle and destroy religion like Hillary Clinton. She will select judges that will eliminate religious freedom as we know it.

Then why is he losing?

Trump is not going to win this election. At this point voters are moving toward the notion that they don't want Trump's garbage dumped in their living rooms for the next four years.

With Hillary, the corruption is baked into her numbers. With Trump, each new outrage ramps up the gag factor.

Ah.... Saying "I love you" Is not the words I want to hear from you.

But for enough money I might?

Whole lot of baseless hopes judging by Donny's past performance.

That's because the Constitution is kept over at the National Archives and and they can't hold it long enough to get there.

Wrong.

I'm not going to vote for him, but that doesn't mean I hate him, no matter how much the Trump lovers need to define my motivation.

Two articles at American Thinker, only the first specifically about white nationalism. The reason is explained in his first paragraph:

A July 11 American Thinker essay by Dean Malik criticizing white nationalism provoked a brisk debate in these pages that involved Jack Kerwick, Jerry Woodruff, and again Mr. Malik, as well as Vdare.com. I have been both praised and criticized in these exchanges, so I am grateful for an opportunity to speak for myself.

Tony Brown, of Tony Brown's Journal, would invite them onto his show and would let them speak without challenge. He left it to his viewers to critique what they'd heard. William Shockley was one.
