Hold nose, vote Trump

I do not understand the thinking of some persons who call themselves conservatives. It’s obvious that the country is moving in the direction of more and more citizens wanting more government handouts. Bernie Sanders’ popularity clearly reflects that.

Now, traditional conservatives are asserting that they do not find if possible to vote for Donald Trump. If the Democrats win the White House, we will likely have eight more years of a stagnant economy, more government regulations stifling businesses, more government giveaways and a constant stream of illegals streaming across our southern border. If that happens, it will more than likely be the end of the conservative movement in America.

Also, with the election of a Democratic president, there will come the appointment of liberal Supreme Court justices. The current Supreme Court has expanded its role of interpreting law to creating law. The preponderance of 5-4 decisions clearly suggests that.

For all of his faults, Trump has demonstrated that he is a financial wizard. Creative ability is his strong suit. I am suggesting that conservatives who do not like Donald Trump hold onto your nose and vote for him regardless of personal feelings. Republican or Democrat, doing so will be the most patriotic act you will have performed in your lifetime.
