I don’t want a Hillary Clinton presidency, but we can survive it?

Jul 27, 2016, 5:48 PM

I want to address something that I said about Hillary Clinton on my radio show that really set people off.

I’m surprised at how angry people got at me for saying we can survive a Hillary Clinton presidency. That is not an endorsement. I have fought the Clinton machine since 1994. I fought against Clinton care, which would have been worse than Obamacare. 

The Clintons are everything I loathe in politics. They are blatantly and obviously corrupt. They are why I’m for small government. Big government is what empowers people like the Clintons.  

I said we could survive a Hillary presidency because we’re going to have to survive worse one day. Look at the trajectory of the candidates we’ve been choosing. On the Republican side, we nominate people that only want only slightly smaller government like Mitt Romney and George W. Bush. 

We are someday going to face a true tyrant. We somewhat saw this with President Obama. 

But we need to stand up to the smaller tyrannies we’ve begun to face. If not Clinton, it’s going to be another tyrant due to the trajectory of our culture.

We need to build the resistance from the ground up. I don’t fear Hillary Clinton. I fear some of the policies that she could put in place. We need to stand up for the Constitution and not support anything that goes against it. 

I don’t want a Hillary Clinton presidency, but we can survive it.
