I was going to start off by bitching about our flawed two-party system and how it continues to give us, how shall I put it, less than ideal candidates.\u00a0 <\/span>I mean, look at who we ended up with this year: a corrupt, womanizing gangster \u2014 and Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

LOL.\u00a0 <\/span>You get the joke, right?\u00a0 <\/span>Hillary has been rumored to fool around with women<\/a> and, of course, she\u2019s as crooked as the day is long. \u00a0I’m not going to recap all her scandals, but just the most recent regarding her tenure as Secretary of State.<\/p>\n

This isn’t even up for debate. These are just the facts. Clinton has done all of the following: mishandled classified material, purposely deleted classified material, deleted more classified material while under subpoena, lied \u00a0repeatedly about deleting classified material. \u00a0That type of criminal behavior would damn me, you or anyone else under the sun. \u00a0One man was jailed for \u00a0a heck of a lot less<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyways, I\u2019ve always hated the Clintons.\u00a0 <\/span>I mean, how can one tolerate slimy, career politicians with more baggage than a jumbo jet?\u00a0 <\/span>So, for me, at least, the \u201cnever Hillary\u201d mantra was something I\u2019ve embraced for a long, long time, starting with her bid back in 2008 (On a side note, if you want to stump a Hillary fan, just ask them to name one tangible thing she’s done during her political career to benefit the country).<\/p>\n

Since the DNC rigged the system<\/a> so that a Hillary ticket was inevitable, in the face of a true and legitimate grassroots campaign for Bernie Sanders, it basically left me with one option, the Republican nominee (which is where I end up anyhow, cuz of the Dems entrenched and pervasive disdain for the 2A).\u00a0 <\/span>Who would the GOP select?<\/p>\n

Well, to my surprise, billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump won the nomination. \u00a0Why was I surprised? \u00a0Because, over the years, he has held almost every position on every issue one can think of. \u00a0As it relates to the Second Amendment, he was for a ban on black rifles when he wrote his book, “The America We Deserve,” in 2000 but now he’s evidently against it. \u00a0Sure, politicians “evolve” on positions but Trump takes it to a whole new level<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Yet, as a friend recently told me, the problem with Trump is not his newly discovered conservative principles, his documented history of backing gun control legislation, nor his lack of specificity when debating the issues \u2014 but the simple fact that Trump is an a-hole.\u00a0 <\/span>Yes, Trump is a self-absorbed a-hole.\u00a0 <\/span>Need proof, well consider just a few of his recent statements:<\/p>\n
