Clinton/Trump: No Roosevelt or Willkie Here

Happy July 4th.

“If Hillary Clinton occupies the White House her presidency will be unpleasant for her and chaotic for the country. Ms. Clinton will encounter a nationwide rebellion she cannot comprehend and hence will not address.

“The rebellion is already underway, and it will continue.  It is not a violent, man-the-barricades revolution, but a visible one in which millions of voters in both parties are openly rejecting conventional candidates.  They are seeking a radical transformation of American governance.

“Ms. Clinton will take office because she gamed the nomination process brilliantly, but she was victimized by classic tragedy.  In the most bizarre political season in memory, she was the right person in the right place at the wrong time.

Nor does it even rest on policy differences—his past support for Democrats, gun control, abortion, Planned Parenthood, or his generally awful foreign policy.

“All these things are true, and some are good reasons for conservatives not to vote for him. A vote for Trump is a vote against the principles that Republicanism and conservatism are built on. But I believe the case against Trump should go even further. I believe no American, conservative or liberal, should support Trump. He doesn’t simply violate conservative principles.
