The single best “why you need to vote for Trump” post I’ve seen

Bookworm Room

As you all know, Trump was my last choice during the Republican primaries but by default he’s my first choice against Hillary. I’m not the only one who has had to work my way to making peace with the situation as it is, rather than as I wanted it to be.

Wayne Gruden has written an argument for concerned Christians explaining why Trump, despite being a deeply flawed candidate, is still to be preferred over Hillary. He even addresses the concern so many people have that Trump, once he’s elected, will suddenly cast off the Clark Kent glasses and announce that he’s really “Super Liberal.

I cannot recommend Gruden’s article highly enough. Even though it’s written for Christians, every voter who hates Hillary and Trump equally, but who really hates the authoritarian Progressive agenda needs to read it and learn that turning one’s back on Trump is not the answer. Here are a few excerpts:

I do not think that voting for Donald Trump is a morally evil choice because there is nothing morally wrong with voting for a flawed candidate if you think he will do more good for the nation than his opponent. In fact, it is the morally right thing to do.

I did not support Trump in the primary season. I even spoke against him at a pastors’ conference in February. But now I plan to vote for him. I do not think it is right to call him an “evil candidate.” I think rather he is a good candidate with flaws.

He is egotistical, bombastic, and brash. He often lacks nuance in his statements. Sometimes he blurts out mistaken ideas (such as bombing the families of terrorists) that he later must abandon. He insults people. He can be vindictive when people attack him. He has been slow to disown and rebuke the wrongful words and actions of some angry fringe supporters. He has been married three times and claims to have been unfaithful in his marriages. These are certainly flaws, but I don’t think they are disqualifying flaws in this election.

On the other hand, I think some of the accusations hurled against him are unjustified. His many years of business conduct show that he is not racist or anti-(legal) immigrant or anti-Semitic or misogynistic – I think these are unjust magnifications by a hostile press exaggerating some careless statements he has made. I think he is deeply patriotic and sincerely wants the best for the country. He has been an unusually successful problem solver in business. He has raised remarkable children. Many who have known him personally speak highly of his kindness, thoughtfulness, and generosity. But the main reason I call him “a good candidate with flaws” is that I think most of the policies he supports are those that will do the most good for the nation.

Hillary Clinton would quickly replace Justice Scalia with another liberal like Breyer, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, and Kagan. This would give liberals a 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court even without Justice Kennedy, and 6-3 when he votes with them.

But that is not all. Justice Ginsburg is 83, and she has had colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and has a heart stent. Justice Kennedy is 80. Justice Breyer is 78. A President Clinton could possibly nominate three or four justices to the Supreme Court, locking in a far-left activist judiciary for perhaps 30 or more years. She could also add dozens of activist judges to federal district courts and courts of appeals, the courts where 99% of federal lawsuits are decided. Judicial tyranny of the type we have seen when abortion rights and same-sex marriage were forced on the nation would gain a permanent triumph.

The nation would no longer be ruled by the people and their elected representatives, but by unelected, unaccountable, activist judges who would dictate from the bench about whatever they were pleased to decree. And there would be nothing in our system of government that anyone could do to stop them.

That is why this election is not just about Hillary Clinton. It is about defeating the far left liberal agenda that any Democratic nominee would champion. Liberal Democrats are now within one Supreme Court justice of their highest goal: gaining permanent control of the nation with a five vote majority on the Supreme Court, and then relentlessly imposing every liberal policy on the nation not through winning elections but through a relentless parade of one Supreme Court decision after another.

Even if Clinton were to drop out of the race (perhaps due to additional shocking email disclosures, for example), our choice in the election would be just the same, because any other Democratic nominee would appoint the same kind of liberal justices to the Court.

Go on — read the whole thing and then ask yourself if you can, in good conscience, do anything that will help place America in Hillary’s hands.

The way I see it, the GOP created the Trump zombie when it joined with the Left, only more savagely, to kill the Tea Party. If it hadn’t done so, the bright, cheerful Tea Party ideology would have produced a solid conservative candidate. I don’t feel I owe the Republican Party anything at this point.

Also, to add a few things to help you hold your nose and vote for Donald, here are a few things this bombastic, bullying, foot-in-mouth, remarkably spontaneous man has not done:

Trump has not put America’s national security secrets into enemy hands.

Trump has not spent decades helping rapists (whether those arrested or those elected).

Trump has never been heard uttering anti-semitic slurs.

And of course, Trump doesn’t have a trail of dead bodies in his wake. There’s no evidence whatsoever that Hillary had anything to do with any of the followings deaths (the list of which a friend emailed me). It’s just that most of us don’t have so many friends, employees, acquaintances, and business associates in our lives who do not die from natural deaths but, instead, commit suicide, die violent deaths, or die apparently natural deaths under somewhat suspicious circumstances. (And no, I haven’t vetted the list, but I do recognize based upon my fund of knowledge the accuracy of the majority of the facts stated in it):
