Are these quotes getting you discouraged?
“He is nothing but a B-List TV personality. He has no business being in politics.”
“He’s dangerously ignorant about international affairs. The Russian leaders will walk all over him.”
“He has no filter – doesn’t think before he speaks.”
“Until recently, he was a Democrat. He’s not a real Republican. He hasn’t paid his GOP dues.”
“He used to be Pro Choice. Now, suddenly he’s Pro Life?”
“He’s a loose cannon. No one wants HIS finger on the nuclear button.”
“His opponent has the experience and political savvy to be president. He does not.”
“He’s just not presidential.”
“His temperament disqualifies him from ever being Commander-In-Chief.”
“He’s proven himself to be mentally unstable.”
“The military will never accept him as Commander-In-Chief. He’s not smart enough.”
“Most Republican voters will just stay home rather than go out and vote for him.”
“He’s almost 70. Much too old to be president.”
“Evangelicals will never support him.”
“He says ‘(Let’s) Make America Great Again’. How dare he say we aren’t still great?!?!”
“90 percent of Republican state chairmen judge him guilty of ‘simplistic approaches,’ with ‘no depth in federal government administration’ and ‘no experience in foreign affairs.'”
“After all his gaffs, he doubles down on them instead of admitting he made a mistake.”
“He’s threatening to upend our treaties and relationships with our allies by demanding that they pay for their own defense!”
“Because of his gross factual errors he might take rash action and needlessly lead this country into open warfare!”
“He’s racist, xenophobic, and fuels the fires of hatred!”
“You shouldn’t take him seriously. He has a penchant for offering simplistic solutions to hideously complex problems and a stubborn insistence that he is always right in every argument.”
“The rising turnout of his voters are not loyal Republicans or Democrats and are alienated from both parties because neither takes a sympathetic view toward their issues.”
“He wears the disdain he draws from the GOP elites as a badge of honor. Henry Kissinger’s championing the other GOP candidate and attacking him are actually helping him!”
“The fact that he could be deemed a serious candidate for president is a shame and embarrassment for the country.”
The New Yorker observed that his appeal “has to do not with competence at governing but with the emotion he evokes… [He] lets people get out their anger and frustration, their feeling of being misunderstood and mishandled by those who have run our government, their impatience with taxes and with the poor and the weak, their impulse to deal with the world’s troublemakers by employing the stratagem of a punch in the nose.”
“Is he Safe? …he shoots from the hip … he’s over his head … What are his solutions?”
“Voters want to follow some authority figure, — a leader who can take charge with authority; return a sense of discipline to our government; and, manifest the willpower needed to get this country back on track – Or at least a leader from outside Washington.”
They were said of Ronald Reagan before he was elected! Just 35 days….get out there and help elect Trump/Pence! Help at the campaign center, work at the polls, make phone calls from your home…
