Hillary's history versus Trump's words
On Monday, fifty so-called "prominent" Republicans announced they are not voting for Trump. Many of them served in the Bush 43 administration, such as Michael Hayden and Tom Ridge, former Pennsylvania governor. Seems they are all upset that Trump said the Iraq War was a mistake and that Bush lied about the existence of weapons of mass destruction as the reason for the war.
Tuesday, economist Thomas Sowell joined the chorus of those too good to vote for Trump, who can live with Hillary as president but cannot live with Trump.
The reasoning of these quisling Republicans is ridiculous and illogical. They all say Hillary will appoint hard-core lefties to the Supreme Court, who will weaken the First Amendment by overruling Citizens United and weaken the Second Amendment by upholding all regulations on the possession and carrying of guns. They all say Hillary is a crook who endangered our national security with her emails. They all say Hillary lied about Benghazi. They all say Hillary helped Bill cover up his rape of Juanita Broaddrick and trashed the women who charged Bill with sexual harassment. They all agree that Hillary and Bill sold pardons, such as the Marc Rich one-million-dollar pardon.
Thus, they acknowledge the past conduct of Hillary. If she has acted like this for the past thirty years, then it follows that she will continue to lie, cheat, and put her interests above the country.
Yet these quislings cannot support Trump...because of what? He insulted John McCain? He insulted Mrs. Khan, whose husband used their son's death to advance his Muslim immigration agenda? The bottom line is that they forgive Hillary for her abominable history, of which there is no dispute, but they are offended by the words of Trump. Thus, to them, words matter more than conduct.
Sowell wrote:
There are few things worse than being deprived of our basic Constitutional rights, on which our freedom ultimately depends. But one of those few things is being deprived of life itself by the reckless decisions of a volatile, ill-informed, immature and self-absorbed President in a nuclear age.
Sowell is accusing Trump of starting a nuclear war. This is beyond belief. It is the same garbage that LBJ, through his lackey, Bill Moyers, used against Barry Goldwater in 1964. And then LBJ promptly sent 600,000 Americans to Vietnam. There is absolutely no credible evidence for this charge. To the contrary, Hillary supported the Obama nuclear deal with Iran, which is a real threat of nuclear war since, Iran has promised to destroy Israel. This is a real and credible threat of nuclear war caused by Hillary and Obama.
So Sowell and the quislings are ready to live with Hillary, who will deny us our Bill of Rights and who has a history of corruption. But they cannot vote for Trump because of Trump's language.
