Why I am voting for Trump

The election is less than one week away and I am voting for Donald trump. I see the country as the Titanic heading for the iceberg. Trump may not be perfect but I think he will at least start to turn us away from certain disaster. Hillary will step on the accelerator and destroy what is left of this once great country. I may be wrong but like Dagney and Hank I want to fight til the bitter end.

    It's often been said that when you can't find something to vote for, you can always find something to vote against. I see nothing in a Clinton Presidency but destructive, negative policies, a deadlock with at least a Republican House and possibly a narrow majority Democrat Senate, impeachment proceedings, continued FBI investigations, etc, etc. I think that's more than enough to vote against.

    As Will Rogers said, people who occupy the middle of the road usually get run over. I ain't one of those.

    Me dino is voting against the vicious evil hag, who may become the most corrupt president money can bribe.
    I'm also voting for saving the Supreme Court's interpretation of Constitutional law and for restoring the republic called the United States of America.
    A vote for Johnson is like Disneyland singing "If you wish upon a star" while giving Shillary a better crack at further defiling the White House from where corruption shall continue to roll downhill.

    It's not about who will do some good but who will do the least harm. Trump may be a boor and a oaf but HRC is a criminal and probably a traitor. Failure to vote is a vote for HRC. Is that what you really want?

    It may take years to drain but we have to start somewhere. My hope is that Trump can get the job started.

    The big picture is to drain the swamp. Galt isn't running. It is easy, especially for us Objectivists, to over-intellectualize something and lose sight of larger issues. Unless you are trying to live the fantasy of stopping the motor of the world, Trump is the best option available.

    In the absence of any clear invitation to any place of refuge, you have no choice.

    Mine will be someone I believe in. I will not cast my vote for bad, nor matter the consequences.

    I also respect every other person that is voting for someone. not so much so those that are only voting against someone.

    He should start by eliminating all the Czar positions. They are useless patronage jobs that cost us millions.

    I think Trump is viewed by both statist parties as the most dangerous man in the world because the oval office is littered with vice and corruption and he, owing no one will air it all out. Like a spiteful child, he will have a "look what I found" tidbit almost daily which collectively rewrite the history books. I believe this will be very destructive in the short run but be the beginning of a reversal of the downward slide that has been going on for over 100 years. I have no illusions that he has the philosophy and expertise to fix the problems but is well suited to crashing the façade exposing the rot and enabling successors in to put us back together. Maybe this is just a pipedream but as he has asked "what have we got to lose?"

    I know people that are doing the same thing. I wish i could say it's because they believed in that person but it's really a protest vote.

    Yes, because by definition political correctness is a lie, and, worse than that, a denial of reality. And to be politically correct, one must publicly support this denial of reality. Yet PC is so entrenched in our culture at this point that it took a loud mouthed, brash person like Trump to begin to bring it down. Thanks for listening. I think that if I ever accept political correctness, then my life is no longer my own.

    Until people realize they need to vote only for those who have principles that they can support, we will continue to choose between the lesser of two evils and keep going to hell with them.

    mamaemma,

    That is something I had not thought of and perhaps the one good thing that may come from Trump, should he win or loose.

    Thanks!

    I am writing in someone. It will not cause any difference but I will have done what I believe to be the correct action.

    K, I am assuming from your wording that you are not allowed to vote. Is that true? I know your residence is outside the country, but aren't you a citizen?

    I agree Weld was a mistake. It was an attempt to add someone with more name recognition as VP candidate, who is nominally Libertarian. He is apparently a long time personal friend of Hillary, which explains why he doesn't want to believe she is totally corrupt.

    Right now, the only 3rd party candidate who may grab a few electoral votes is McMullin in Utah, which could be pivotal if the race is truly tightening now before Tuesday's vote and the subsequent buyer's remorse...
