I'm not looking for a President or any other official from one of the three co-equal branches of the Federal Government to be a conservative constitutionalist Savior that will lead us into the promised land. Only the States can do that, and they can only do that when the voters in the States elect State level officials who will stand up to Washington. This is my focus.

The only reason I care about keeping Hillary out is that she will make our job that much harder. Overcoming 10 million new votes from legalized illegals will be very hard to do without civil war. Thus, if Trump does not do a thing besides NOT giving these people the vote, I will be satisfied. However, I do think he will accomplish some good things, unlike those of you who are believing Never Trump "conservative" propaganda.

A disappointment in "some" areas? The danger of Donald Trump getting elected is that he is moving the Conservatives to the Left. He gets you in his pocket and then changes his policy. Although, has he ever changed? Holding his feet to the fire is the only way to keep him from going to the Left, but as we have seen by those supposed "Conservatives", they aren't holding him to anything. They only have the weak argument that "at least it is not Hillary."

Ben Shapiro makes an excellent point:

Quote:
That brings us to the real reason to oppose Trump’s candidacy: the attempt to turn the conservative movement into a nationalist populist one, complete with shilling for Trump’s incomprehensible decisions and statements. If you believe that the only solution to America’s problems is true conservatism, your greatest fear is not a Hillary presidency: It’s the perversion of the conservative movement itself, the corruption of conservatism in favor of power. Hillary Clinton’s presidency does not snuff out conservatism, even though it provides a serious danger to the republic. Trump’s presidency does. Why? Because conservatives are already tailoring their morality, decency, and political sense to fit Trumpism….Barack Obama has taken America toward a cliff at 100 mph; Hillary will press the accelerator further, so that we’ll be moving at 120 mph; Trump would presumably press the accelerator only slightly, so that we’d be cruising toward that cliff at 110 mph. The difference: Trump will force his conservative passengers to rip out the reverse gear in order to justify him. Conservatism will become Trumpism. Conservatives will prioritize winning over truth.

He's too late. Conservatism can't be taken any further to the left than it already has.

But Shapiro misses a greater point. Only the States are going to be able to win this battle, not any Conservative President. Any so-called conservative platform that does not include a radical return to State sovereignty, including the right to secede, is wasting its time.

Bingo.
It will take either some Governors will guts or a threat of seccession by Texas to end this Federal Tyranny.
And I do not see either happening.

It will happen only if Christians step up to the plate, like Christians of the past, and lead such a movement. We should not do so with the illusion that we can build utopia here, but to create a new government that can't be used as the agency of godless freaks to institutionalize the vilest immorality.

Your primary opponents will be "Christians".

Doubt it will happen this generation. In three or four? It will be inevitable. But until then, we need patience and a steady, forward march, generation by generation, continuing to withdraw from this socialist Antichrist system, and building our own, independent, Christian society.

We've done this before, we will do it again. So, the future's actually bright.

Christians? Like the kind supporting Trump? If it is these same people, don't look for any meaningful change.

Again, you don't see that the Executive Branch is only supposed to play a limited role. Christians are voting for Trump mainly for what he won't do, that is, he won't allow illegals to continue to flood in. There is not another GOP candidate who took the stand he did on that, not even Cruz.

If you want real change, stop obsessing over the Executive and join the State sovereignty movement.
