Don't let go...

It's about three months 'til the election, so here come Dusty pokin' his grizzled head up out da wilderness, yo.

Did you ever see that cartoon in which a hawk is portrayed with his maw engulfing the head of a field mouse, but he can't swallow the little critter because the mouse has the hawk's throat in a stranglehold? Say we're the mouse and the hawk is statism; you vote for anybody but Trump and you're letting your paws go. Donald McRonald is no prize, but the country is in the throes of dissolution. Voting Trump is like getting thirsty enough to drink your own urine; which can happen.
Regardless of your state's EC status, don't throw away a speck of power against that evil juggernaut on the left; it makes absolutely zero sense.

Be smart this year or get out of the Country.

I think he means a compliment to your phrase, and that he will be using it in his own dictum.

So, he's confessing to plagiarism before the fact?

He must either be very young or a LEO.

Here, here. Anyone not seeing the practicality of voting for Trump, over not voting, needs to, soberly, be told that they are putting themselves before the good of the Country, that, by doing so, are aiding the greatest enemy that America has.

We have been in a rearguard action for far too long...this is our last peaceful chance to take the initiative back.

I thought I'd jump in. I intend to vote for Trump.... I think he will be a decent President, but that is conjecture, as I have nothing concrete to base it on......except......

Trumps stab at immortality, his children, are outstanding. They were probably tempted with every excess that children of the very rich could imagine. They appear to be well grounded, hard working, level headed, and love and respect their Father. Ask any Father of teen and up male children, their Mother deserves credit, but it's hard work for a father to nurture his sons love, while they are attempting to assert their own "manhood". Damn hard.

Trump loves our country, without reservation, without fault finding, without blame for sins long past, and with an abiding faith in our future. He finds joy in others success, and our culture that makes that possible.

Trump is smart, damn smart. I don't have much love for NY city, but will concede that the competition there for talent, in any venue, is intense. Probably more competitive than any than other major city in the world. Donald Trump mastered the city, and has a lot of these competitive people working for him. He seems to thrive on the pressure and competition. Not a bad trait for a POTUS.

Trump is brash, outspoken, and has sharp elbows. I think this is what our country needs at this time, so that we can win back respect, commitment, and a sense that our country can do anything it sets its mind to. It appears that other nations are coming to recognize this quality.

Trump understands the value of surrounding himself with "proven" experts. Not PC suck-ups, Ivy tower generals, or Monday morning quarterbacks. Only those that play to win the hard game will find a place in his administration.

I probably could think of more...... I just pray that I'm half right with these
