What if Hillary Wins?
By
James Scott Trimm
Those of us who have said we can never
support Trump are being told by many that we must vote for Trump, because we
must stop Hillary at all costs. So what
would happen in Hillary won?
Well if Hillary won then we would have a
Democrat President and a Republican House.
This historically leads to “gridlock”.
Such a president has a hard time getting any part of their agenda passed
by congress. They accomplish very
little for their agenda. So Hillary
would not be in a position to accomplish much.
What about the SCOTUS nominee? There is no telling who Trump will
appoint. Some of the judges who voted
badly on the court, were appointed by Republicans, so why expect some great
appointment from Trump?
More importantly the Supreme Court is
already lost. SCOTUS has been usurping
the constitution for years. The SCOTUS
some want to “save” is the SCOTUS which invented a right to an abortion, ruled
that the federal government can require you to buy insurance, and invented a
right to a gay marriage. In the recent judgment from the US Supreme Court inventing a right
to a gay marriage out of thin air, the late Justice Anton Scalia famously wrote
in his dissenting opinion:
"I write separately to call
attention to this Court's threat to American democracy... This practice of
constitutional revision... robs the people of the most important liberty... the
freedom to govern themselves..."
-U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin
Scalia
SCOTUS is already
a “threat to American democracy” and the “the freedom [of the people] to govern
themselves. Its past time to try to
reform SCOTUS one justice at a time, it is time for the States to stand up to
SCOTUS and nullify their rulings! (Find
out how in my recent blog by clicking here).
So if Hillary
wins we can expect her to face opposition from Congress and from the
States.
So what happens
if Trump wins? If Trump wins, who will
oppose him? His own party in
Congress? Will the “red states” stand
up against him as they have with Obama?
It seems there might well be very little to stop Trump’s statist, big
government agenda. Who will resist his
growth of federal power and his agenda to “get rid of the lines around the
states”?
If Trump wins
then he becomes that face of the Republican Party for the next four to eight
years, and if he succeeds in his intentions, he will transform the GOP into
a a populist nativist nationalist
“workers” party.
But if Trump
loses, he is only the face of the GOP until November. He and his populist nativist nationalist followers lose. The GOP is sent a clear message, we are the
conservative party. If you want to win
a presidential election you will have to nominate a conservative
candidate. Conservatives will no longer
be used by you. We will no longer vote
for just any nominee because he has an ‘R’ by his name!
Four years of
Hillary could serve to consolidate conservatives.
In 1976 Reagan
ran for he GOP nomination and lost to Gerald Ford. When Reagan gave his speech at the convention there was a sense
of awe among Republicans, they all seemed to realize that they had just
nominated the wrong man.
The nation then
had to endure four years of Jimmy Carter.
After which the GOP nominated Ronald Reagan and Reagan won the general
election.
Now I am NOT
suggesting anyone should vote for Hillary, I certainly will never vote for
Hillary. What I am suggesting that the
argument is flawed that we simply must vote for Tump to stop Hillary at all
costs. Less harm may be done to the
country and to the GOP if Trump loses.
As Alexander
Hamilton once wrote:
If we must
have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and
for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace
of his foolish and bad measures.
I have read this blog thoroughly and after considering it, I have concluded that it plays directly into the hands that want nothing more than see this Great Nation die. As many great republics have in history become ilrelavant, I hope that I do not live to see that occur to these United States. I was very small, but I remember hearing the news reports on the radio, about the battles in Europe and the Pacific. Not only did our soldiers, sailors and marines sacrifice, but so did people back home. My mother was a "Rosie the Riveter", tail sections on B-29's. So, let's recognize that "socialism is just another form of communism and there have been far too many Americans give their lives, we can be free.

ReplyDeleteWow, I'm utterly flabbergasted that you want to dance around the idea of Hillary Clinton being able to be controlled by Congress, or gridlocked by them!
ReplyDeleteDo you remember our Republican controlled Congress that voted 98 to 1 in favor of the Iranian nuclear deal? Those RINOS in Washington, along with their Democrat bed fellows helped Obama put nuclear weapons into Iran's hands, and gave them money for terrorism.
Washington needs to be cleaned out.
Ever hear of Executive Orders? Clinton will use this, or abuse this power, to the fullest extent, thus circumventing Congress.
Do you enjoy your 2nd Amendment rights, those would be gone under Clinton. More babies will be murdered at Planned Parenthood under Clinton. Forget border security, or not stopping importing millions more "refugee" terrorists, these both would be overlooked by Clinton. She is absolutely involved with Muslims, their causes. And what about Israel? Clinton will continue the Obama policies of destroying and criticizing Israel, and building up their Muslim neighbors.
But, you want to make the case for not supporting Trump!! By staying silent, and not throwing your support behind Trump, you are effectively helping Clinton into office.
Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.
