| Why I Voted for Trump‐Unabashedly |
| 2016-11-08 |
| h/t Instapundit ...The question of "flawed, imperfect, damaged, etc." was never of any consequence to me. It was, indeed, factually meaningless. All men and women are flawed. I'm Jewish, not Christian, but I certainly get the concept of "we are all sinners." You have to be asleep twenty-four hours a day not to notice that. They say Churchill was terrible to his subordinates, Eisenhower committed adultery, and on and on... So this election was never about Donald's peccadilloes to me. Or even Bill Clinton's rancid behavior and his wife's repeated enabling of it. This election was always about one over-riding issue under which all are subsumed. That issue is the corruption and virtual dissolution of our democratic republic by elites. This election was and is about the rule of elites over the people, something we have all seen in full bloom in the WikiLeaks releases. ...At first blush, or any blush, Donald Trump--a brash real estate tycoon who made much of his money from gambling casinos--would seem an unlikely leader for such a crusade. But I submit it's the contrary (and, no, I'm not virtue signaling--at least I don't think so). The extreme situation we are faced with today--we might call it "crony socialism"--needed and needs an extreme personality both to get our attention and to get change accomplished. Nothing much would have happened, in all probability, with any of the other candidates. This time, of all times, an outsider was necessary. |
