COMMENTS:
* Trump was to the left of Hillary less than 5 years ago and changes his stances everyday. But your suddenly going to just take the word of guy who is basically a fancy used car salesman.
* In the last 8 years, the unemployment rate has been cut in half, the stock market is way, way up, the Bush bailout of the auto industry was completed by Obama and as a result we still have that enormous industry in the U.S. Tens of millions of people have health insurance that couldn't get it before, and inflation rates are very low. We have survived economically the scares of economic collapse of he E.U., and the absolute sputtering of the Japanese economy. Yeah, I'll take that to continue over a megalomaniacal, racist, fearmongering wanna-be strongman any day of the week, and twice on Nov. 3.
* French is a good choice for a protest vote. So is the Libertarian Party. And the Constitutionalist Party wherever they run a candidate. There are many ways to be #NeverTrump.
* No matter how much or how hot you rant and insult everyone, Trump is still manifestly unqualified to be POTUS, not under-qualified, totally unfit.
* A Trump presidency would be an untold disaster for the country and the world, and would probably burn out before the first year was up, in one hideous scenario or another. And nobody would suffer more than the Republican Party. It's bad enough that they've essentially nominated this buffoon, under pressure from the nasty lunatic morons in the base - but to actually have him bumble into the WH with an R behind his name, the party would NEVER live that down. Then again, Trump will NOT win - won't even come close; I'll take anybody's money on that - and the GOP is toast after this anyway.
* "Can someone please explain to me why (Trump) would be a better president than Hillary?" The short (and really the only) answer to that question is "no".

There Is No Good Reason for Conservatives to Vote for Trump Over David French
By Michael Van Der Galien, June 1, 2016
Yesterday my esteemed colleague at PJ Media, Rick Moran, criticized Bill Kristol and his friends for possibly pushing National Review columnist David French for president. According to reports, French may become the independent candidate #NeverTrump conservatives have been calling for in recent weeks.
Rick isn't impressed:
Don't get me wrong. French is a great writer and has a fine legal mind. He's a go-to guy when an important SCOTUS case comes down and you want all that legalese boiled down to the essentials.He then proceeded to blast Kristol for supposedly suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome.
But for all his gifts, French has no more the skill set to be president than a less than one-term Illinois senator who was elected in 2008. The fact that he's evidently a nice guy, polite, listens to people, and is a practical conservative hardly matters when you're across the table from Vladimir Putin.
Although I understand anyone's wish to defeat Hillary Clinton come November, I see no reason for conservatives to support Donald Trump over her. Yes, he has an "R" next to his name, but that's also the only "conservative credential" he has. Trump is a megalomaniac, untrustworthy, a boaster, a bore, a pathological liar... and he doesn't have one conservative bone in his body. Can someone please explain to me why he would be a better president than Hillary?
I just don't see it.
Trump's official tax plan is OK (though not as good as Ted Cruz's), but that says more about Cruz's plan than about Trump's. Sadly, however, the billionaire businessman has already distanced himself from it. Then there are his "anti-immigration" plans, including the building of a wall at the Mexican border. Reportedly, he has told left-leaning reporters that he doesn't actually plan to follow through on any of these promises. Oh, and then there are his comments on changing the Republican Party's platform with regards to abortion, the fact that he has repeatedly sung the praises of the professional baby killers of Planned Parenthood, and his remark last year that his radically liberal judge sister would make a "phenomenal" SCOTUS justice.
And let's not even talk about his well-recorded support for GOP establishment hacks and radical Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and her husband.
Perhaps David French isn't the charismatic, wealthy and well-known independent candidate #NeverTrump conservatives were hoping for, but he's still significantly better than The Donald.
