Spare Us Your Indignation!

The conservative voters who didn't consolidate the vote around the viable conservative candidate early in the primary process are, I hope, learning a very painful lesson. How many election cycles does it take to learn that when we have a legitimate shot with a good candidate in the early primaries, we should stop splitting our vote among the various flavors and shades of conservatives.

One of two people will be POTUS in January, and I am conscience-bound to vote for the candidate least likely to use the power of the presidency to harm Christianity and the freedom of individuals to lovingly exercise and share it. The most important issue in this presidential election is whether there will be five individuals who believe they are the Supreme Legislative Body empowered to impose their vision of social justice, diversity and deviancy on us all.

Nate Jackson makes some excellent points in the following column. I may be more disgusted than he seems to be with Trump. Donald is immoral and insufficiently repentant. But either he or Hillary will be president, those are your only two choices. And when it comes to their records and promises regarding governing, the least-destructive choice is still clear.

Donald's Boorish Comments and Bill's Criminal Actions

Nate Jackson · Oct. 9, 2016

Hillary Clinton and her Leftmedia super PAC got their dream candidate. We warned throughout the primary that the Leftmedia wanted Donald Trump as the Republican nominee because stories like the one that broke Friday afternoon would help boost Clinton, an incredibly weak candidate. And indeed, the Left couldn’t ask for a better October surprise than to be able to run headline after headline about Trump’s awful comments and GOP leaders withdrawing their support and calling for the nominee to step aside.

We’ll leave Trump’s actual lewd and despicable comments for others to repeat, but the reason they’re so devastating is, as Andrew McCarthy put it, “[T]he power of a tape to make its mark on our consciousness is simply unequaled by written and oral descriptions.”

In any case, there are a couple of primary takeaways. First, Trump is Trump, and he’s never going to change. If that wasn’t clear before, well … it should have been. Second, for Clinton and her Leftmedia allies, this is all about women voters. How they feel about Trump will either depress his support and/or increase Clinton’s. She’s depending on women to win.

But we’ll say this to Clinton and her leftist gaggle: Spare us your indignation. What Trump said and did is horrible and inexcusable. But Bill Clinton raped several women, had an affair with another in the Oval Office itself, and Hillary Clinton viciously attacked those women in public in a craven attempt to save her own political future. This was consistent with her character, too. As a young lawyer, Clinton defended a child rapist, happily destroying the victim’s character in the process. As the nation’s top diplomat, Clinton broke federal law regarding classified information, endangering national security, and she ran a pay-to-play operation called the Clinton Foundation. What Trump said 11 years ago doesn’t change the fact that Clinton is manifestly unfit for office. And either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is going to be president come January. Make your choice, America.
