I will grit my teeth and hold my nose and vote for Trump. I really cannot believe how far our political system has gone down hill that these are the two leading candidates. I understand the anger from so many against the status quo and the career politicians who campaign on one platform and then do little or nothing once elected. Thus, Trump, as an outsider, offers another choice over someone who has already been in the political arena. That said, we need to understand that many times politics is the art of the possible. We, on the conservative side of the aisle, have to realize that we are probably never going to get everything we want and if we are so obstructionist that we shut the government down, we wind up losing support. We must remain true to our basic core beliefs, but must also understand that we are probably never going to get to the point of zero restrictions on firearms ownership and carry. However, there are already more than enough laws, regulations, and restrictions and do not need ANY more. If we were we to be able to repeal SOME of them, I would consider that a big win, but with a Hillary presidency, not even that would be possible. That is why it is so important to ensure that the "down ballot" races provide a solid Senate and House that will thwart her aspirations to increase regulations in ANY manner.
