We’ve seen pretty hot takes from Never Trump people when it comes to the election, those folks who claim they are “conserving” conservatism.
We’ve seen former Republican candidate Joe Walsh who claimed he wanted to get Republican votes, drop out and then say he would support socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) over President Donald Trump.
We’ve seen Bill Kristol declare he was now a Democrat and push for Joe Biden.
If you think we deserve better than choosing this fall between Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders, there’s really only one viable alternative this Tuesday: Joe Biden.

Like I’ve said before, it’s one thing not to vote for Trump. It’s a whole other ball game when you are voting for declared socialists and others like Joe Biden who support abortion on demand and want to take away our fundamental Second Amendment rights.
Exactly what are you “conserving” when you do that?
Conservative woman Gracie, who has always voted Republican, took them on in a great thread, as our friends over at Twitchy noted.
I was proud to vote for GHWB in 1992, not because he was a conservative, but because he was a good man and a war hero. I voted for Bob Dole for the same reason. 2000 rolled around and my choices were GW, who I personally liked.

2008 rolls around and I am faced with choosing between John McCain and Barack Obama. I had much respect for John the war hero, but none for John the politician. His role in the Keating 5 scandal had led to that loss of respect.

I loathe Mitt Romney the politician. I remember him running for MA Senate. I remember the abortion stance, among other things. The man I was being sold as the conservative choice was nothing of the sort. Yet another squish in a long line of them.

That was the first time in all of the presidential elections I’d voted in that it had happened. I did all I could, but Trump won.
I spent the rest of the time before that election going back and forth on Trump or no vote. I would certainly never have voted for Hillary…

So I sucked it up and voted for Donald Trump. Yet again, a vote for a non-conservative in a long line of them. It was the toughest vote I’ve placed. You know what? He’s achieved more conservative wins in 3 years than GW did in 8. I still don’t like him.

She saw reality and was honest enough to admit it, unlike some in Never Trump. Judges, economy, immigration, and more, he’s accomplished more than some of the prior alleged “conservatives,” despite being under constant unprecedented attack.
If you care about the judiciary, tell me how a Joe Biden presidency helps conserve conservatism in that branch? You can’t. The next President could end up replacing more than one Supreme Court justice. What happens if it’s one of the conservatives?

I’m likely never going to get the chance to see a President who will actually lead in the way I believe is truly conservative.
People like Mr. French have a privilege that many of those outside of the beltway do not.

Because they think they have the right to dictate to us, not unlike Democrats. Despite being constantly wrong.
I am more than happy to suck it up and vote for the non-conservative loudmouth Republican in the race because I live in the real world. I know what this looks if the Dems take back the WH. Should who the person sitting in the WH is have so much affect in our everyday lives?

He can sit and talk about it over overpriced drinks at overpriced restaurants in DC with his principled friends. I’ll be home on 11/3/2020, hopefully celebrating a real world win with my friends and family.

Amen. You go, Gracie.
