A rather shocking suggestion from the last place you’d expect a revelation of this kind.
SUNY Professor Helmut Norpoth:
As I have said on numerous prior occasions, do not focus on one or two aspects of a thing, particularly with regard to politics.
Stand back and attempt to acquire the big picture.
These days one must now factor in any number of other variables, to include the purposeful skewing of various polls on behalf of coordinated efforts by not only Demorats, the DNC, but Hillary Clinton herself.
Also note what Professor Norpoth is saying with regard to the “pendulum.”
Some persons may think me daft but, as opposed to prevalent thought, I still have a few connected and functioning neurons within the Brain Housing Group remaining despite the best intentions of Ketel One.
That said, I fully recognize this election has been like no other in my decades extant upon our rotating sphere of rock. But, as a bottom-line kind of individual, I do in fact think of the election as binary. I know that Stein is as Left as they get and Johnson, with open borders, open drugs and potential abject removal of our carrier groups, is an absolute no-go for me. I am a “little L” libertarian, not of the “big L” variety.
I view November 8th as the most perilous election I’ve ever faced, for this reason. The country is on a tottering precipice. One wrong gust and we may find the nation truly unrecoverable. Leftists are pushing like never before. That is why my pushback is like never before; why I AM PUSHBACK. I must be, now. There is no alternative. The days of “gray” and “compromise” and “bipartisanship” are clearly over. Dead and gone. Killed outright by the Demorats and Leftists.
It’s make-or-break time for the nation. The stakes are indeed that vast and dynamic.
I will vote for Donald Trump because to stay home is to allow Hillary Rodham Clinton to win. To not vote for president is to allow Hillary Rodham Clinton to win. To vote for Johnson or Stein is to allow Hillary Rodham Clinton to win. A vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton is, well, you get the picture.
Voting, this time around, is like your worst-case scenario of Russian Roulette. Except, with Hillary Clinton, you’re actually using a semi-automatic pistol. With Donald Trump you have some chances; you can at least spin the cylinder.
Barbs were tossed, as expected, at the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Dinner on Thursday night — but the most telling were cast by Donald Trump. Because they were true.
First watch this. Then look very carefully at just who is sitting next to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Why, that would be Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the Catholic who was speaking in the top video. I’m sure Cardinal Dolan leaned over and asked Hillary “who is this Brazile and what does he mean about Haiti?” Hillary replied: “Donna Brazile is my first floor maid at Chappaqua and she’s from Haiti; pay no attention to that.”
You can clearly see that the astoundingly-delicate elitist Leftist New York sensibilities were vexed when Trump addressed the dinner. It’s not cordial, you see, to speak such blatant truth to peoples’ faces. It’s much more acceptable to plunge the machete deep into the organs of your enemy from behind when he or she isn’t paying attention.
Julian Assange asks one question, however.
Some may say that Donald Trump was massively out of order for conducting himself in this fashion at the Waldorf-Astoria dinner. I suggest, however, that he pulled so, so many possible punches available.
But let’s get the obligatory things out of the way first, though, shall we?
That was amusing; now back to the topic at hand.
My wife and I have been discussing this situation for any number of weeks now. Her turning point was, simply, watching the Michael Bay movie “13 Hours” in February. She stated quite unequivocally that there is no way she could ever vote for Hillary Clinton, period, after having seen and read of her complicity in abandoning our good American soldiers and then lying about it — first to the American public, then to the survivors. As far as she is concerned, that is utterly unforgivable.
You are the company you keep, and the company you marry and for what reasons.
I’m posting this again for all the media hacks who are busy today smearing a rape victim in defense of Hillary Clinton. pic.twitter.com/9Noyws0Zpc
Hillary Clinton is “for women” in the same fashion that I am “for setting babies on fire.” She is “against corporatists” like I am against pizza and vodka. The plain truth is that Hillary Clinton is for Hillary Clinton. She is no real politician and possesses the political acumen, charm and warmth — as I am wont to say — of an eastern diamondback rattlesnake. Even Leftists are afraid of Hillary’s finger on “the nuclear button.”
She knew precisely what she was doing when, over anything else, she decided affirmatively to ride the political coat-tails of her husband, William Jefferson Clinton, into any position of power she could afford, manipulate or both. Bill Clinton was geometrically smarter, more engaging, likable, astute, insightful and flexible a politician than Hillary Clinton will ever be.
She knew her position was upheld and stabilized when NOW — or any other feminist group, for that matter — never challenged her in the slightest. Why would they? She’s a Leftist, they are Leftists. And altogether too many women are hypocrites.
Hillary has made it abundantly clear that, particularly in regard to the most recent Wikileaks email revelations, she believes in open borders and will do little if anything to stem the tide of a Syrian invasion. Ask yourself: where are the women and children in this video of assaulting “refugee” hordes breaking lines?
Europe was guilted into accepting millions of military-aged Muslims over a picture of a Syrian boy & now they’re being terrorized#debatepic.twitter.com/0S5j44oT3h
Hillary Clinton lacks the foresight, as with other Leftists, to see that what is currently occurring in Europe is precisely what will happen in the United States should we adopt an even greater open border policy. There are already 11,000 Syrian “refugees” in the US. Clinton wants to import at least another 65,000. Wikileaks revealed she acknowledges that adequately vetting “refugees” is, in her words, “impossible.”
What may be even worse are these two points. If Clinton believes she is acquiescing to Muslims for votes, Leftists are the last people Muslims will support in terms of LGBTQ and womens’ issues. The real reason: Hillary Clinton “owes” her big Middle Eastern donors to the Clinton Foundation. This is part of payback, ladies and gentlemen. She made bargains — with your sovereignty and your security as the chips.
Trump’s locker room talk? Stupid, of course. Words not actions. Anyone accuse Trump of rape? I seem to recall the husband of one of the two current presidential candidates accused of rape. I seem to recall money paid out to quiet same. I seem to recall HRC setting the political dogs loose to attack Bill’s female accusers. In the meantime, Hillary again won’t be honest and tell you that she and Huma are a “duo.”
Hillary Clinton and her campaigners believe that the bulk of Americans are sufficiently shallow and emotive as to not see that Trump’s stupid sexual prattle doesn’t begin to overshadow the real issues facing America today.
Issues such as unchecked and rampant immigration, the pissing away of our Constitutional rights, the loss of American freedoms, the explosion of regulations and taxes, the gutting of our military, the reduction of America’s overall strength and posture in the world, the eschewing of American exceptionalism, the utter contempt and disregard for our rule of law.
So spare me your faux “outrage” with Trump’s words — because I’m certain your private life has been extraordinarily exemplary and nary a bad word spoken or questionable thought conjured in your work or off-work hours.
Hillary has been supported and propped-up by the AMM ever since the campaign began. Wikileaks has proven time and again that the American Media Maggots are ALL IN in terms of supporting her, facts be damned.
I wonder how many American citizens or soldiers Donald Trump was complicit in ignoring or killing? I wonder how many countries Donald Trump has destabilized? I wonder how many resets Donald Trump gave the Russians? I wonder how many times Donald Trump has lied under subpoena? I wonder how much Donald Trump has excused and embraced Islam? I wonder how many iPhones Donald Trump had destroyed? I wonder how many emails Donald Trump destroyed? I wonder how many soldiers and survivors Donald Trump has lied to, directly? I wonder how many rapists Donald Trump has supported and covered for? I wonder how many rape suspects he’s defended and then laughed at the victims?
Two final points.
Donald Trump has already proffered a list of potential SCOTUS nominees. This next president, perhaps more than any other in history, will have an opportunity to nominate one immediate SCOTUS jurist to replace Antonin Scalia — and perhaps as many as four.
Hell yes, I’ll vote for Donald Trump — on the SCOTUS issue alone.
Yes, Donald Trump can be an uncivil boor. Yes, he’s not politically correct. Blah blah blah. But I’m not staying home, I’m not voting down-ticket only, I’m not voting for HRC, I’m not voting for Johnson or Stein.
My bottom line is this: I’ll vote for Donald Trump because he’s not Hillary Rodham Clinton.
So you can stand your ground. You can easily keep your moral superiority. You can say you never stepped across your personal line in the sand. All very well and good. I’ll concur. You’re a better man or woman than I, Gunga Din. My hands are up in jejune acquiescence. Ya got me. Ya nailed me good. You stayed home or refused to vote for Trump or even, God forbid, voted for Hillary Clinton.
Good for you. You can sleep at night. With some Valium and Xanax perhaps.
But I don’t want to hear one peep from you in complaint of Hillary Rodham Clinton’s policies, EOs, viewpoints, philosophies or actions/inactions. Can you adhere to that? Of course you can’t. Many of you will fall into line once again and prop up empty suits like John Boehner, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Dick Lugar, Mitch McConnell, Snowe, Collins, Ayotte, Specter, McCain, Murkowski. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, just change your (R) to a (D) and be done with it. But that’s a post for another day.
[A thought in passing: just why is it that only Republicans must compromise, be bipartisan and find “common ground”?]
Food, water, precious metals, sticks in which to carry said precious metals, ladies and gentlemen.
