R.I.P. GOP

If Hillary wins the election, don't blame me!  I will never vote for Hillary Clinton.  I can't vote for Donald Trump either -- even if that means four more years with a Democrat as president.

As it stands now, Hillary will face Trump in November, and Hillary will likely win.  But don't blame me.  Blame Trump's own supporters.  In primary after primary, Republican voters have rejected solid conservative candidates to support a New York liberal masquerading as a conservative.  Trump is the least conservative of the 17 candidates who ran in the GOP primaries.

It makes no sense.  For years, many of us have been praying for godly men and women to run for office.  Then, when have a choice of not one but several God-fearing men running for president, we cast them aside to support a man who brags about how many women he's slept with.  

Mike Huckabee, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum are all Christians who would be a great president.  Instead, Republican voters throw their support to a candidate who got rich running casinos and strip clubs.  If that's what the Republican party stands for, I want no part of it.

Trump is unfit in every way to be president. As columnist Linda Chavez wrote, "He has neither the intellect nor the discipline to learn what is necessary to occupy the office. More importantly, his temperament is all wrong. He’s vindictive, mean-spirited, vain and unpredictable. He will never put the interests of the country before his own."

Trump gets mad every time someone disagrees with him.  The U.S. would be at war with every nation that ticked him off. 

He has absolutely no understanding of foreign policy.  Trump boasts he will bring jobs back from China, but how?  At least Hillary has some experience in foreign affairs.  She really wasn't a good secretary of state, but she did know how to talk to foreign leaders.

Reince Priebus, the chairman of the GOP, now wants Republicans to fall in line and support Trump. But doing so will doom the Republican Party and worse, the country. The Republican Party has been moving to the left in the last two presidential elections.  We had RINO John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012. 

With Trump as the nominee, it's like putting another nail in the coffin of the GOP. No wonder George W. Bush, Jeb Bush, Rubio and others want no part of the upcoming GOP convention.  The Republican Party is suffering a slow death, and this time it may never recover.
