So here's how I see
this election: Hillary won't dissociate from the Blumenthals; Bernie is
publicly courting Zogby and West; Trump needs the alt-right that he won't
disavow [because he'd be nowhere near where he is without them], and even his
own progeny won't [or can't] stand up to him.
That last fact is
enough to make Trump as dangerous as the Dems, even before one gets into what
exactly his real political positions are, what he might say they are, or his
psychological profile.
Dennis Prager writes that conservatives with a
real conscience will vote for Trump to stop the Dems' inevitable leftward
march.
Au contraire.
Conservatives with a
conscience won't make anything resembling common cause with alt righters and
pretend that even the most possible leftward lurch of the US gov't is on par
with choosing sides between Stalin and Hitler. This election is NOT
a war.
Conservatives with a
conscience will not conflate "my side right or wrong" with "the
fate of the Republic is in our hands".
Conservatives with a
conscience would publicly STAND UP to Trump's refusal to disavow himself
from the alt right instead of being afraid of both his displays of ostensible
power and their fear of the American Left.
Conservatives with a
conscience won't make the kind of moral assumptions about other conservatives
that are best left to the scrumming between Hillary and Bernie acolytes.
Conservatives with a
conscience and any sense of American history will realize that the Republic
they believe in will survive either way without them assuming that either
side's electoral successes will be the determining factor.
Conservatives with a
conscience will actually make the choice between not supporting someone who
needs repulsive supporters and making common cause with him because he might
advance your agenda.
Conservatives with a
conscience will realize that even Vince Lombardi qualified "winning...is the only thing."
Conservatives whose
conservatism is informed by a conscience won’t make assumptions—or make
public statements about—the morality of other conservatives who may stay home
on November 8.
Conservatives whose
conservatism is informed by a conscience may stay home on November 8.
