Okay, my Trump-shy friends, it’s time to put aside your fussy principles about how icky Donald Trump is. This is serious, and we need all hands on deck to throw Biden overboard before he gets a whole lot more Americans killed. I get that you don’t like Trump. Let’s agree that he’s icky for the purposes of this discussion. Let’s agree that his tweets are mean, that he’s not a conservative ideologue, that he says dumb things and gets into useless fights, and that he does many other unseemly and annoying things. Let’s agree that this is all true. Let’s concede that in normal times,

Solid article. He is right. No one in my family likes Trump. We never did. But we voted for him and we will do it again.
I am still stinging from how horrible the Bush family turned out to be. What can you do?

Check the backstories of three of the greatest Old Testament heroes, Moses, David and Solomon. Likely they would all be admited and acceptable to most raised in the Judeo-Christian tradition.
They were not "perfect" men, but they were perfectly suited to lead their people and their nation in times of great peril.
Vote against Trump if you will, but do so in opposition to his policies, not his personality.

I don't agree that Trump's tweets are mean, that he gets in useless fights, and so on. I am tired of these caveats, and do not accept any of them.

Agree. There are personality issues about President Trump I have concerns about. I have shoved those issues aside as we were in a better place when he was president than we are now. Plus I think Trump has learned a thing or two. Do you really think FJB is the answer to our problems since he caused all our problems? Life doesn't work that way. FKH is waiting in the wings and she is the supreme incompetent DEI employee ready to take over. (OMG, please save us.) FJB has America circling the toilet bowl he has created for us. More spending, more DEI, trans, green energy nonsense, more inflation and the pushing of bugs and the printing of money we do not have. It's a chance to get out of the toilet or be flushed down the drain by FJB. Think long and hard.

Never Trump Republicans have come up in private conversation for me a couple of times lately. My take is that if the “sensible” Republicans have been doing the things that they claimed to be on their agenda, and not giving up ground to leftists for so many years, Trump wouldn’t have gotten any traction. But he stepped up to fill a leadership void and do those things - protecting the Constitution among the most important - and they’re angrier at him than they ever got at leftist commies!

I am waiting for the Bushes to be patriots, get over Jeb and work for Trump. I am waiting for Cindy McCain to shut up. I am waiting for Mitt Romney to shut up.

The Never Trumpers are stubborn and dug into their positions. I suspect, having lived with the disaster that is Biden and an extreme liberal government, some will be shook up enough to vote for Trump or at least not vote for Biden.
Many Never Trumpers hate the battles going on in government. Because Trump is loud and proud about what he is trying to get done, many think Trump is CAUSING the problem. We have been brainwashed into thinking that compromise is always possible and good. Yet, the Left has gone to extremes making impossible any type of rational compromise. You cannot both have unchecked spending and fiscal responsibility. You cannot have open borders and safe places to live. You cannot ignore law and claim to be a nation of law. You cannot pick and choose what laws to enforce and which not to.
A responsible leader MUST fight against the insane Left. Compromise is not possible so it gets messy. That is the only way to fix things. If you cannot see this, you are not only a Never Trumper, you are an idiot.

Trump wasnt my first choice in 2016 and I was hoping for new blood in 2024.
But I have to say that it was the non-stop attacks, smears, libel and outright lies by the media and democrats that made me a Trump supporter. And for all of the reasons above, plus the lawfare and "threats to democracy" that has me supporting Trump in 2024. Would I have preferred someone else? Yes. Will I support Trump? You betcha.
