Trump cannot become President. I registered to vote at 18 as a Republican, and I have generally voted Republican continually since then – blindly, when I was younger; based upon an analysis of the issues and candidates as I got older. Recently, I have watched our Country become more polarized; the right heading further right, the left going further left, the end result being that more often than not I found myself in the middle, without a candidate for whom I could cast an enthusiastic vote. This election presents such a scenario. While this seems the perfect opportunity to vote for the Libertarian, my observations on Mr. Johnson have disqualified him to me. That leaves me to vote for one of the two people who will actual become POTUS as of November 8: Hillary or The Donald. They both have qualities that, all things being equal, would disqualify them to me as a viable option: disregard for the truth, questionable ethics, inflated egos (even for Presidential candidates), refusal to admit when they are wrong, … the list could go on. However, in reading the Miami Herald endorsement of Clinton (which I still have problems with), they did a very good job of summarizing the problems I have with Trump. Rather than repeat them all here, I encourage you to read the endorsement. You can skip over what they say about Clinton if you are one who is disinclined to see any good in her (and I know from my FB feed, there are many of you to whom this designation applies), but read their take on Trump. I challenge anyone to rebut that indictment. His candidacy, which likely started out as folly (as he has flirted with/threatened to run for president many times before), has gathered unforeseen momentum based primarily upon the utter dysfunctional nature of and disdain for our Federal Government. The things Trump has done and said, if they were done or said by anyone other than Trump, would have eliminated them from the race. Instead, it has people doubling down. The fact that Hillary is so disliked by so many – and I’m not discounting anyone’s opinion of her; in most respects, she earned that opinion by her words and actions – is the only reason that Trump has a chance to win. He truly brings nothing to the table other than not being a politician or having ever served in elected office. He is a Kardashian: someone who built a brand but really has no other claim to fame. He is famous for being famous. In his campaign – which is based almost exclusively on fear and anger – he has mocked and ridiculed: war heroes, veterans, the disabled, minorities, women, other candidates, elected officials, even his running mate. He advocates violence. He speaks without knowledge. He is completely unprepared for the job for which he is running. As much as I do not want to vote for Clinton, any other vote (such as a vote for Johnson) opens up the possibility of a Trump presidency. As much as We The People have created Trump and may actually deserve to have him as POTUS (just to teach us a lesson), my children and your children do not deserve that fate. For that reason, I am going to do something that once seemed unfathomable: I am going to vote for Hillary Clinton for President. I encourage you to do the same.

Yep; the election is over before a single vote gets cast right? I have to laugh at the leftist media and brain dead liberals who think this election is over and that Hillary is going to win. But there is a major warning for any establishment republicans who don't support the ticket; you'll be voted out of office next election if you don't get on board.

Nothing dumber than a fake Conservative claiming that Trump isn't a Conservative so they vote for a sociopathic lying and corrupt Leftist.

We are Republicans, proud of the party of Lincoln, and of Ford too, of Teddy Roosevelt, and Ronnie Reagan, of Ike and the Bushes, 41 and 43.

We believe that the survival of American liberty is best assured by limited, constitutional government, and that the success of liberty – the pursuit of happiness by American individuals and families – is best ensured by free enterprise.

We also believe in the fundamental American consensus which existed from World War II through the emergence of the 1960's "New Left," which saw American global power as a force for good in the world, as the indispensable shield behind which human progress could happen, both at home and for all humanity.

In any other year, we would be working hard to elect the Republican nominee for President of United States, regardless of differences any of us might have with particular policies of that person.

But this is 2016. The Republican nominee is utterly unfit, by character, temperament, experience, and professed ideas – to the extent any ideas can be discerned – to be the President of our great nation.

We are organizing to do all we can to elect Hillary Clinton President this November.

Of course, there are many things on which we disagree with Secretary Clinton.

While she has critiqued Senator Sanders for being unrealistic in his stated objective of transforming the United States into a Democratic Socialist Republic, modeled on the states of northern Europe, she has not rejected that vision as a worthy goal. Instead, she has offered herself as the better vehicle by which to reach that goal someday, through a pragmatic incrementalism.

But disagreements over tax rates, spending plans and government regulations, all pale into insignificance if the United States elects a demagogue and wannabe authoritarian, whose pronouncements on America's role in the world and the world in which America lives, to the extent they are coherent at all, herald an unacceptable risk to national security.

When Ronald Reagan ran for election, he told America to be mindful of a "bear in the woods". Today, the world is a veritable “Hunger Games” arena, with Putin’s Russia, the Chinese army, the “Supreme Leader” of Iran, the unhinged leader of North Korea, and the monsters of ISIS and its fellow travelers within the Jihadi movement, all vying to be the beast which takes down the United States of America.

Despite ordinary election rhetoric, presidents really don’t control the American economy or, while Supreme Court nominations do matter, the most important things in our civil society. This goes even for Liberal Democrats, who might want such control. But presidents do have unequalled power and responsibility in matters of war and peace.

So, while there are many reasons to do so, domestic as well as foreign, most fundamentally, we come together as Republicans for Hillary 2016 because we believe a President Trump could well blunder or be sucked into what could become World War III. He could well get our children killed.

Donald Trump must be defeated. Down the road, America will have plenty of time to go back to arguing, civilly and thoughtfully, about taxes, spending, and the right balance between accommodating change and preserving tradition in family and community values.

Just a relatively few Republicans, who love their country more than a political party, can be the difference in this election.

Please join us.
