Donald Trump has shocked the Washington establishment. And while he wasn’t my choice for the GOP nomination, it’s time to unite under one purpose. For when the smoke clears, I fully support defeating Hillary Clinton.

 

And right now, Trump may be our only hope.

 

Let me be clear. This election may offer the most important choice of our lifetime. Our nation is on life support and we’re in critical need of leadership. And sitting this one out is a vote for Hillary.

Let’s examine what’s at stake.

 

If Hillary is elected president, we’ll be giving the Supreme Court over to the progressive movement, literally for the rest of our lives. And you won’t believe how quickly our country will be inflamed with liberal pathosis.

 

The LGBT movement will have secured a victory far beyond achieving “acceptance” in our society. We’ll see an escalation of lawsuits against Christian business owners choosing to adhere to their religious principles like Aaron and Melissa Klein of Oregon. The Kleins were eventually forced out of their bakery business in 2013 following an anti-discrimination lawsuit in which the judge ordered the couple to pay $135,000 for declining to bake a cake for a lesbian marriage ceremony.

 

I believe we’ll see attempts to rescue Obamacare from obliteration through leveraging the tenacious tentacles of the most feared organization in our nation’s government – the Internal Revenue Service.

 

We’ll see a stalwart approach at identifying families and individuals who haven’t purchased healthcare due to cost or coverage and attacking them with merciless penalties.

I predict getting an abortion will be as simple as purchasing an “over the counter” drug. Liberals believe that a woman’s right to choose far exceeds the life of an unborn infant.

Babies will be tossed into the dumpster out of “inconvenience” or due to physical impairment. Partial birth and live birth abortions will likely be re-invigorated as they align with the progressive mentality of “choice supersedes life.”

 

Hillary has already condemned a proposed “wall” closing our borders to illegals. A Hillary presidency would open our borders to illegals under the guise of “humanity” and then allow them to vote.

 

Liberals have long desired to relax the voting requirements on every demographic they’ve accused conservatives of trying to “disenfranchise” so they can buy their vote with your tax dollars!

Expect the same lackadaisical approach to ISIS. Hillary has already refused to utter the words “radical Islam,” just like Barack Hussein Obama. She will continue to refuse to identify our enemy in lieu of being a Muslim apologist.

 

And just last month, Hillary Clinton vowed to “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”

 

Now, I’ve been to the coal fields of Southern West Virginia several times recently. The lack of jobs and ensuing poverty is heart-breaking. It’s impossible to understand Clinton’s “compassion” for illegals entering our country and her indifference for hard-working families in our area simply trying to make a living.

 

Hillary Clinton must not be elected president. And it isn’t about politics or even winning.

It’s about survival.
