WITH SOUR GRAPES YOU MAKE WHINE

The "Never Trump" bunch, along with frustrated supporters of Ted Cruz and other candidates that failed to win the GOP presidential nomination, must dry their eyes, shrug their shoulders and make peace with the results.

Everyone has the post primary blues and the "I don't like either candidate" doldrums prior to a general election. Runners up, are not crowned king, bridesmaids don't walk down the aisle and when your home team loses the pennant, sometimes it is your team's worst rival that makes it to the world series. However, conservatives need to stay focused on what is important, not on what might have been, and remain focused to defeat liberals and social progressive policies.

Left leaning Republicans (RINOs) are attacking Trump, with some, even claiming that they will vote for Hillary. If ever there was a Shakespearian moment of truthful soliloquy then these trashing the candidate asides by establishment Republicans, cynically, answer for us, the often asked loyalty question, as to whether they: be or not be, genuine conservatives.  Because what they fail to realize, is that Trump represents the will of the people. Publically discrediting Trump, is tantamount to arrogantly snubbing the American voter and ignoring Americans viewpoint on policies.

Wise or not, thoroughbred or not, traditional or not, Trump was elected because of the positions he took on three major policy issues, Immigration, Trade Pacts and the restoration of the American economic engine. They want border laws enforced, they want trade to not cost jobs and they want the federal government to stop micromanaging business through over regulation. In fact on almost every major policy issue, the public demands reform. Shouldn't that tell you something? Senator, Congressperson?

It should humble your ego and make you look for the ticket window in the depot, so you can board the right train that rumbled you into Washington and that can equally transport you back home. It should remind you that as a representative of the people, that it doesn't matter how "you" think but rather how "they" think, the American voter, about public policy. It should inspire you to make peace with one man (Trump) in order to create a better America for average Americans clamoring for these policy changes.

Instead, too many of these pompous potentates of puffery can't see behind their enormous ego. They have the audacity to call out Trump as an egoist, but how egotistical is it, to ignore millions of American voters? The answer appears to be part of why people are angry. Washington won't listen to anyone but big donors and the Middle Class's patience with politicians is threadbare thin.

One would think, that instead of whining about what might have been. Instead of complaining that Trump isn't a conservative. Instead of creating doubt as to whether you will support the party, why not play a positive role. Be a representative in the true sense of its commitment and stump for Trump while reminding him every chance you have his ear, that he can't change his policies and betray the voters. Then you would be doing something useful and constructive as a representative of your conservative constituency.

 

Pundits say it is up to Trump to unite the Republican Party, but I think the political spinners are wrong. It is up to the representatives to rally round their flagpole winner.  Ryan and McConnell must govern for the people instead of continually serving the corporately bought  beltway, and getting every policy issue backwards and inside out.

All this chatter about Trump lying to the voters is amusing considering that it is coming from politicians (Romney, Rubio, Graham) that have done nothing but swindle conservative votes for decades. The debate is over. The left leaning GOP is a dying dinosaur. The American public is not in a very forgiving mood, so it behooves all the "hate Trump" crowd to either sit down and clamp shut, or join Hillary's campaign.

Real conservatives, principled conservatives will support Trump's presidential campaign. Will stay vocal about the policy issues that America needs to change, and will vilify the only candidate that should be called out as a sour grape in the political vine; crooked Hillary Clinton.
