This just in: Kamala Harris is dishonest and inauthentic and will do or say anything at all to win the election. That's not me saying that, although I agree with it. That's the gist of an op-ed in the New York Post from Andrea Peyser, who describes herself as a "pro-choice, anti-gun, gay-marriage-friendly Democrat" who is voting for Donald Trump. 

Her reasons are interesting, to say the least.

I’m voting for Donald Trump for president.

This is the only way to save the country I love.

I realize that people will shun and ridicule me. I’ll create chaos at family gatherings. Hip restaurants will lose my reservations. I’ll shed a ton of Facebook friends.

But while I recognize the Republican ex-president’s flaws, I have come to realize that electing Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to the highest office in the land would be far scarier.

During her kiss-up interview Thursday with CNN, Harris consistently flip-flopped on what she called her core “values” — the environment, the border, health care, crippling inflation — in a craven bid for Middle American votes. She threw Israel under the bus.

She sounds like a Republican, doesn't she? Except for her social stances, that is - but that's one of her reasons for finding Trump to be the better choice.

Has Kamala Harris Lost the Teamsters' Union?

Peyser writes:

Trump, meanwhile, has signaled a moderate approach to the social issues I ardently believe the government has no business butting into, including going against traditional Republican opposition to same-sex marriage. 

He said he thinks a six-week abortion ban was “too short” — and that state governments elected by the people, not the feds, should determine abortion limits in their areas. He also said he favors in-vitro fertilization treatments — opposed by pro-lifers because the baby-making procedures may lead to the destruction of embryos — be paid for by the government or medical insurance companies.

He is unequivocally supportive of Israel.

Secure borders. An end to runaway crime. Relief from crushing inflation. As Kamala Harris dithers, we at least stand a chance at solving some of our problems with Donald Trump at the helm.

I’m with him.

It is tempting, at this point, to say to Ms. Peyser, "Welcome to the Republican Party."

Look, other than her own words, I don't know where Andrea Peyser is on many issues. I am pretty certain I (and most Republicans) would differ with her sharply on Second Amendment issues. I do agree with her and with Donald Trump that abortion is a state, not a national issue, which is precisely what the Supreme Court said it was. Ditto for her concerns about crime and unchecked immigration, which are two of the factors leading to the current disintegration of most of our once-great major cities. And there can be no doubt that our major cities are imploding; even Anchorage is not the city it was a few short years ago.

It's also worth noting that Donald Trump was, for most of his life, a Democrat with moderate views on many issues, especially social issues, and today's Donald Trump would not have been out of place in the Democratic Party of the '70s and '80s. 

Back in the '80s and even into the '90s, "Reagan Democrats" were a significant voting bloc and were in no small part responsible for The Gipper's 1984 49-state landslide. There are and will be Trump Democrats in the election this year. While how many there are remains to be seen, there will be some, and in this op-ed, Andrea Peyser has not only told us why she is among the numbers of Trump Democrats, but she also tells us precisely what the Trump campaign can do to welcome her and others like her into the fold. She may not agree with every issue in Trump's agenda, but for any hope of enacting that agenda to ever be realized, Trump first has to win.
