Some of you may have noticed that I haven’t said much of anything political since Ted Cruz suspended his campaign, and this was because I didn’t want to give into the temptation to spit, or curse, or otherwise descend to personalities. Political discourse should be an activity that elevates while it engages, which is not the same thing as vituperating while it flames out.
Not really. I’ve been busy.
So here is where we are. Trump is vile and insufferable. Hillary is venal and insufferable. Bernie thinks that pigs could fly if we were only willing to give them $15 an hour. What to do? Well, I have voted third party a number of times in my wizened career as a longsuffering citizen — as one sage once said, if God had intended for us to vote, He would have given us candidates — and there is no reason I couldn’t do the same thing again.
But look around you for a minute. Think for a minute. As John Piper might say, were he here, don’t waste your third party yelp.
Usually a write-in or a third party vote is a cri de coeur — you wrote in Donald Duck, not because you think him eligible, but because you thought yourself conscience-bound to not go along with the current monkeyshines if you could help it.
But we are living in tempestuous times, are we not? A country in which Donald Trump could win the nomination of one of the major political parties is a country in which anything might happen, is it not? So let’s see if we can make this a little crazier.
Donald Trump is not really a political candidate. He is more like a wrecking ball. And as a persuasive kind of wrecking ball, his staying power has been consistently underestimated, including by yours truly. But there is a most reasonable explanation for this. Those who see through him see through him so clearly that it seems impossible to them that anybody else wouldn’t be able to see through him. If it looks in the moment as though they are not seeing through him, just give it a minute, right? In short, Trump’s appeal is a mystery to lots of reasonable people. That’s because reasonable people are the ones who have been wrecking the country, and when you get the backlash from the unreasonable, you don’t get to dictate what kind of unreasonable you are going to get.
So here’s the plan, boys. What we need to do is recruit some big money guys to fund a formidable third party challenge. This would promise all the exhilaration you could possibly wish for.
The immediate point of the third party challenge would not be to elect the third party candidate involved (although that would be a pleasant surprise). It is not likely, but if it were done right, the election could be thrown into the House of Representatives. And whatever happened there, it would be unlikely to be worse than Trump or Clinton in the White House. I leave out Sanders making it because he could surprise everybody by eliminating the deficit when he sold all our surplus unicorns to China. That would be sweet, and I would be the first one to admit that I had been wrong about his economic la-laism.
But the central point of an establishment-backed third party effort would be to bring in another couple of wrecking balls in order to finish off what is left of the Republican Party. This is the moment to do it. When party insiders like Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan are refusing to back the nominee, and outsiders like Cruz can simply point to Trump’s allegation that Cruz’s father was involved in JFK’s assassination (!!!!!), it would seem to me that the time is right. So how about it?
We have enough. No need to wait for the few remaining elements. The only things we are currently missing are an FBI report on Hillary recommending indictment, and a Martian landing in Ohio, which could skew the electoral process there. And remember that Ohio is a key battleground state. But no need to arm for war against the Martians — they would just be coming to take Kasich back home.
Good morning Mr. Wilson!
Why not back the Libertarian Party? Why do all the leg work for another third party candidate?
There stance on abortion, while it would defund planned parenthood, is still failing to protect the most important right government is meant to protect: life. It could be noted that this is an inconsistency in their theory. It is a conclusion drawn from a belief that the government has no right to tell a person what they can and can’t do to themselves if they are not infringing on another persons rights. There theory is, broadly, correct, but they need to see that science and reason show that the child is a separate person. Beyond that, there loose stance on… Read more »
Look up Austin Peterson for libertarian ticket. . He is prolife
so do the Libertarians have multiple candidates running? no primaries?
They are in their primaries just like ever other party, so yes muliltiple are running atm, Austin ia the only pro life one
http://austinpetersen2016.com/
They have straw polls leading up to the convention and make their final vote there. I second John on this one, Austin Petersen is well worth the look.
Austin Peterson is the best one running but he is in third place and is unlikely to win.
I’ve heard Peterson say that he is personally pro-life but does not support legislation on the matter. He would desire to dismantle many policies and funding streams that support prenatal infanticide, which is good, but he would stop short of any positive legal action protecting the unborn (at least that is how I understood him)
Many libertarians acknowledge that the non-aggression principle applies to unborn children and therefore are against abortion.
and Ron Paul himself is pro life, and has said some very good things about abortion.
Gary Johnson not only completely supports abortion, but his “business” is the drug business. He’s in the business of killing people. To vote for him is to vote for death.
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/former-gov-gary-johnson-named-ceo-of-marijuana-company/
Thank you for you comments! If the Libertarian candidate were Austin Petersen Mr. Roberts, what say you? (Pro-Life Libertarian Candidate). I’m morally opposed to marijuana, but I just don’t know if we should be policing it as a nation.
I suppose I might think about that. I supported Ron Paul in 2012. As it sits now I think the Constitution party lines up pretty well with my beliefs. Note that I think there’s a big difference between not having the Feds involved and being involved in the business itself (which is as much of a sin as using the drug is).
I would totally vote for Petersen.
But there is more to a party than its figurehead.
And, there is no such thing as “voting for the man, not the party”, for you *always* get the party along with the man.
The libertarian party sucks. Gary Johnson is probably going to win. He is not a libertarian, he is a liberal republican. He favors forcing Christian bakers to make wedding cakes for gay weddings and Jewish bakers to make cakes for Nazi’s (seriously…. google it). Further, he admits to regularly smoking weed and is pro abortion and actively pro gay marriage.
There are other candidates but they are not substantially better.
Any ideas on a viable third party candidate?
Not really. Constitution Party maybe? Not sure what states they are on the ballet. Maybe start a write in campaign for Rubio?
I like the idea of a write in campaign for Rubio.
Rubio is no more a natural born US citizen than Cruz (or Obama) is.
If your goal is to restore Constitutional governance, you can’t get there by thumbing your nose at the Constitution.
I was thinking of writing in Cruz.
Sure why not? We couldn’t unify during the primary, no way we will unify for a write in campaign.
Or the Constitution Party.
They’ve gotten big enough in Idaho to send out invitations to debates.
Stand on Christian principle by backing legal hookers?
More evidence that those itching to tie up Samson are not doing so because of any principles …
“Donald Trump is not really a political candidate. He is more like a wrecking ball.” What do you mean by this? He is running for president, winning, getting established politicians to back his campaign, etc… That sounds like a political candidate to me. “Those who see through him [Trump] see through him so clearly that it seems impossible to them that anybody else wouldn’t be able to see through him.” I am still truly perplexed as to why you see through Trump but don’t see through Cruz…although I guess that is moot now. “Trump’s appeal is a mystery to lots… Read more »

“That’s because reasonable people are the ones who have been wrecking the country, and when you get the backlash from the unreasonable, you don’t get to dictate what kind of unreasonable you are going to get.” With all due respect, Trump really is the predictable, reasonable, logical manifestation of the alt right, of all those manospherians, of the God, Guns and Gays crowd. “Jesus Christ as John Wayne,” as one commentor put it. When people decide to just splay bullets in the general direction of the enemy, it isn’t pretty. Trump is the heart of the alt-right drug out into… Read more »
Trump is the heart of the alt-right drug out into the sunlight
Not really, he’s just a vehicle for destroying globalist multiculturalist interests political power.
He has united working class Americans who want to preserve their nation from both political parties.
“He has united working class Americans who want to preserve their nation from both political parties.”
Where do you get your idealism and how come you’re not sharing? Is there some koolaid I could drink or something? I’m trying to remember a time when we did not have a candidate who has “united the working class and set forth to preserve the nation.” I can’t seem to go back far enough, “A chicken in every pot,” perhaps?
Hi Me. I can hear the whispering of God as the whirlwind passes by. (: I also read TheConservativeTreehouse.com ; the proprietor, Sundance, has some useful models with good predictive value . His exposition of the GOP “Splitter strategy” was spot-on during the primaries. His latest on the vote stats is heartening too. We are seeing Angelo Codevilla’s Ruling Class vs. Country Class political war playing out right now. Trump is the (stunningly coiffed) figurehead of the now powerful Country class.

Thank you for those links, I shall read up.
Thanks for the links Timothy. Greatly appreciated.
I’m with you on not being fond of the globalists. But I have very little doubt that Trump will be a globalist when it suits his financial interests and an anti-globalist when it protects his financial interests. But if Trump united the working class, then why did he perform so poorly in the West and why is he hated so much by Democrats and non-White people of all political parties? I’m not going to say by any means that the only good candidate has to be supported by a majority of Democrats or by a majority of non-White people or… Read more »
“…that lends me to believe that the working class isn’t very united at all.” Thank you.
For anybody reading who cares to answer – What is working class anyway? I know what it is supposed to mean, but for the people who have been using the term and, I guess, claiming to be part of it, and who believe that Trump represents it’s interests, what do *you* mean? How do you define “working class”? Serious question.
Minor follow-up: Just saw a statistic today that showed that 42% of the American working class in the 25-54 age bracket is non-White.
Source?
Do they count illegal immigrants as American working class?
thx.
http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/05/what_pundits_keep_getting_wrong_about_donald_trump_and_the_working_class.html
I stopped reading when the author switched from “Working class” to “Labor force” with a link to the Center for American Progress.
https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/labor/report/2012/07/12/11938/the-state-of-diversity-in-todays-workforce/
That’s the wrong link. The very sentence you got it from distinguishes “working class” and “labor force” as two different things, and quotes statistics for their respective composition from two different organizations. The statistic I quoted regarding “working class” is from an entirely different organization than the one you just linked.
You made me think of Huey P. Long.
Isn’t this like the 393th time you’ve played this guilt-by-association game? And you’ve still never proved your assertions about Dalrock.
Dalrock is the one who has proven my assertions about Dalrock. What I would really like is for Dalrock to disprove his own assertations and stop rallying men around bitterness and hatred but rather around Christ.
Again, you’ve made all sorts of wild accusations and never provided links or quotes from him. Ever heard of the 9th Commandment? What I’d really like is for you to prove your assertions or stop making them. And stop trying to rally commenters here around your own bitterness, hatred and lies, but around Christ instead.
Why would I provide links? You all know how to find Dalrock, you all read his words. The fact that some cannot discern what is obvious and right before them is what I find so interesting. It is not unlike the seduction of Trump, the lure of a man who tickles your ears and hits your erogenous zones.
So again, you provide no evidence, but get all sexual this time. Too much time on PUA sites?
I’ll take this as you simply admitting that you’re a liar, plan and simple. I’ve called you out on specific comments/accusations and you had no response. It’s kind of like that post of yours where you admit beating your own husband with a baseball bat. There’s no need for me to provide a link. I’ll just talk about discernment, Trump, the manosphere and all that. Who needs proof when you can throw around buzzwords and excel in guilt-by-association?
Who needs denial when you can just demand endless links and shriek hysterically about how everyone is a liar?
And yet Trump is real enough as is the manospherian support of him.
Again, missy, you’re the one shrieking hysterically about Trump!, the manosphere!, Dalrock!, the horror! And making endless accusations without a shred of proof. If someone wanted to stereotype female thinking as all emotion with no logic or evidence, you’re the paragon.
I’m actually not the one shrieking, nor am I horrified, nor am I emotional about it. Resigned and apathetic is more like it.
I’m pretty sure she’s been banned from his site.
And you are a female in sinful revolt against God-ordained male leadership. So, *everything* you say is filtered through that revolt, and is in support of that revolt.
LOL! Be ye stoopid? I am actually quite charmed by male leadership, it’s the leadership of complete morons that gives me pause. So 30 years with a husband, church, Jesus Christ Himself, the blessings of male leadership all around me, and then you lunkheads come along and accuse me of being in revolt.
You seem to be confusing revolt with revolting, as in the garbage some of you are spewing is downright revolting and has a lot more to do with broken men than male leadership.
At
the most critical moment of the third part discussion, we have a
glaring problem (though, yes, I think that is the way to go): How on
earth do you get the disenfranchised republicans to unite behind just
one? There’s actually a few out there and I see several people going,
“No, not THAT guy, THIS guy!” The danger now that the vase has fallen to
the floor is that we’ll just end up stepping all over the pieces and
fragmenting even more. I predict what comes next will be more emotional
than rational.
Very good point. But first, we need to (unfortunately) wait to see who might step up to the plate in the next month or so. I’m far from convinced that the LP’s Austin Petersen would be a wise choice.
Your tweet to that fat guy from Flint was awesome. Well done.
Hey thanks
It was a model of Christian witness. You where in the fight, on the front lines defending the Faith and the faithful against a hero of the enemy.
A million or two more men like you and this battle will be won.

Well said. As undisciplined as we can be in the area of unity, I think there is also a problem of drummed up emotional unity around yet another false hope for a political messiah. Obama should have taught America the final lesson about such hopey, changey promises to an unrepentant culture.
Perhaps Trump will provide a bonus lesson on how America’s deepest problems will not be solved by politicians.
Nah. I’ll hold my nose and vote for the Donald. I prefer chaotic evil over evil straight up and it’s going to be one or the other.
This actually has merit to it. Chaotic and self-centered evil seems less dangerous than “good intentions” evil. However the best I’ll be able to do is root for Trump not vote for him.

yeah, dont got anything either i see.
how can you say hes bad without an example, “raca” hey? hell fire for u #anotherfaker
He calls people ugly names.
oh brother, I could site dozens of things. on almost any politician that are serious?i dont recall any names during his presidential camp. but whatever he called rosie is prob light compared with what she demonstrably is. Jesus called ppl snakes, tombs, dogs… etc. may not be the best choice but its how ppl relay their displeasure, politics today. is soft bet even your heros from our pastwould shock you!
“… but he has no more love for that document than President Obama does.”
Or than the non natural born US citizen, Cruz, does.
“In Mr. Trump’s favor, he doesn’t actually hate the Constitution. He wouldn’t have any trouble trampling it when he found it convenient but he wouldn’t go out of his way to stomp on it.”
I agree. Yet, the same cannot be said for Cruz, for he *knows* that the Constitution forbids him the presidency.
The whole “Trump is a clown, how could any reasonable person vote for him” act may have worked before he won New Hampshire, it should have disappeared by Super Tuesday, but it certainly doesn’t make any sense now that he has the nomination all but wrapped up. If you find yourself in the minority of people in your party who doesn’t support its nominee–it may be time to reexamine your own assumptions about politics and if you aren’t being the unreasonable one.
No, it’s just time to walk away from the GOP clown parade and find a better formation to march with.
“No, it’s just time to walk away from the GOP clown parade…”
This is what I don’t get. It’s been time for that for over 20 years. Bob Dole, John McCain, Romney, et. al. were more repugnant to me than Trump.
They were all no better than unappealing alternatives to a worse alternative at the time, but calling those men more repugnant than Trump is just entering another float in the parade.
The majority of the party never supported Trump until the last few primaries, so I don’t know quite what you mean.
The majority of the party never supported Romney nor Bush nor Dole….(splitter strategy at work, btw) yet the calls for unity and shaming where made when team Neocon lead the ticket. Now that team Nationalist leads the ticket the neocon “principles” of unity and party vaporize.
Trump has ripped the mask of the GOP.
Exactly. Most of DW’s post on the election and all of the comments are summed up in your two short paragraphs. Of course, the “NeverTrump” crowd remains in denial. When I mentioned how bad of a candidate John McCain was, they even came to his defense. Never mind his flip-flopping on abortion, early pro-gay marriage stance, calling the religious right “agents of intolerance,” etc.

Heck, we’re not even a group if these comments are anything to go by.
it is a lie to say trump said cruz had something to do with jfk assasination.
Yes, that’s correct! Trump said no such thing. He noted that his father was pictured with Oswald handing out his propaganda, which is true.
Cruz has so many skeletons in the closet, including marital infidelity, I find it amusing that the primary difference between Trump and Cruz in regards to character is not the character of the men at all, but rather, that one of them is honest about who he is and the other is not.
Hey; love him or no; he’s been attacked like this for the whole campaign; I don’t surprise on Wilsons parroting lies he’s just another shill ‘christian’ but, c’mon thinking ppl at least; I mean, you see elder cruz with oswald -that’s remarkable. If you don’t know the story it’s like ‘oh he shot jfk’ that’s not even the first thing I thought of; but most retards don’t even allow un-Fox-filtered ideas in their heads so they don’t know that the charismaniacal-apocalyptic-hispanic-storefront-flag-waving-zionist was fighting with Castro; whom Oswald was seeking or set up to be, seen with his(Castro’s) communist tovarich; given… Read more »
“Yes, that’s correct! Trump said no such thing. He noted that his father was pictured with Oswald handing out his propaganda, which is true.”
And this statement or claim by Trump is a very different thing from the pro-Cruz assertions (made both by Cruz and his shills) about what Trump said. And until just now, the pro-Cruz assertions about what Trump said are all I, and likely most others, have heard.
Goodness! The more one learns about Cruz, the more one realizes just how sleazy he is.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

That something like Trump was on the way should have been apparent ever since Sarah Palin. Trump is exactly what the right wing wants: someone who will say what he means and who makes the “right people” mad. That he has no policy substance is irrelevant. The right wing doesn’t care about or need policy substance. Again, Palin was the canary in the coal mine there, to reuse that wonderful metaphor. The working class in particular has seen decades of downward mobility, and been told by the conservatives that it’s all due to the blacks, the Mexicans, the feminists, the… Read more »
Have you read his foreign policy speech? I don’t see how you can argue that it lacks substance. Similarly the other positions people actually care about, immigration and border security, also have substantive positions he’s arguing for.
It’s curious how many people ignore the substance because they seem to not want it to actually be popular, but it’s there none the less.
He had to start feigning interest in policy at some point, assuming he actually wants to win the election. He can’t win off his primary base alone, after all. But Trump’s rise happened before he elucidated any detailed policy positions other than “build a wall” and “renegotiate trade deals”. It isn’t what got him the nomination, in other words.
Go back and listen to Trump’s opinions on foreign policy in the 80s and 90s. He’s not new to these ideas, exactly.
That he has no policy substance is irrelevant. The divide is politics is between the globalists (of all parties) and the Nationalists. Trump is the first voice of the Nationalists. There will be more. The GOP are led by globalists. The Nationalists have been exiled since Bush 1 purged them all after Reagan. Your dems are globalist too.

Okay, this may get long, so I shall apologize in advance if it seems like I am plowing 40 acres with a Kardashian. As many of you know, I am from Minnesota. As I have said before, Trump has many qualities in common with former Governor Jesse Ventura. More importantly, his campaign is much like Ventura’s and I believe he is appealing to a similar demographic. I speak not just as a Minnesota resident standing on the sidelines during this era. I was a reporter for a small town newspaper at the time. (Shocking but true.) When Ventura ran for… Read more »

If any of you are in California, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, and John Kasich are still on the ballot. Delegates are awarded by congressional district here, so if there is any hope of a contested convention, there is still the potential to keep more delegates away from Trump on June 7th.
Yes, but it would have been tough with those guys competing hard, and absolutely impossible now that they’ve given up.
Question…Why would the establishment back a third party effort to destroy the Republican Party? The establishment IS the Republican Party. Also, Cruz is not an outsider. He was portrayed as such by the gay media in order to lump him and Trump together in an effort to dull Trump’s impact. Ted is a puppet to tax-evading monied elites, big banks, and the military industrial complex. And of course, the MOST IMPORTANT THING: Ted Cruz, like all the other losing candidates, is a beta male.

I’ll say this – I cannot, for the life of me, put my finger on what changed. Any ideas? Trump goes from winning pluralities only, and then NY. From then on it’s nothing but majorities. I fully expected his numbers to stay in the mid to high thirties. I totally missed this. 3 weeks ago I would have said he’d lose all 50 states to Clinton (yes, even Utah & Alabama). Now? I’m keeping my mouth shut. God help us!
Preference cascade.
Oh, come on!! Just vote for Trump already. Quit belly-aching. I love you, Doug Wilson and read almost everything you write, but you really are an ignoramus on this whole politics thing. I think four years ago you were sure Romney was going to win so you invited everyone not to vote. Something like that.
He predicted that McCain was certain to win all the way up to the day of that election as well.
I don’t know if the massive energy required would be worth the limited possible fruit. That being said, Pastor Wilson, I think this is the best political idea I’ve ever seen you come up with. In a world of bad options, the people who want a good option need to do something like this.

“So here is where we are. Trump is vile and insufferable. Hillary is venal and insufferable. Bernie thinks that pigs could fly if we were only willing to give them $15 an hour.”
And Cruz is not a natural born US citizen. And he knows that the Constitution forbids the presidency to him. And yet, still he sought it. How is that not *worse* than “vile and insufferable”?
If no one wins the electorals, The House has to pick from the top 3 electoral vote-getters. (That cooked Henry Clay’s goose in A.D. 1824; he might’ve won the House, but he was 4th). If the House fails to elect anyone, then the Veep acts as President–I suppose he becomes President, as Veeps since Tyler have done–and the Senate picks a new Veep from the top two Veep vote-getters (Amendment 12, as I read it).

If the biggest con artist in America can do a complete 180 in a week, you know a whole bunch of other cucks can’t be far behind.
And, sure enough, here comes Ben Shapiro saying, “You know what? Just forget all that #NeverTrump nonsense I spouted for weeks – I can see myself voting for the guy.”

And now Sheldon “I may be liberal on social issues but what I really care about is whether my casinos can keep me rich” Adelson is talking about funneling $100 million to Trump for the general election.
See, jilly? Not all Jews are bad!
Oh be quiet.
Do you believe the people who say that Hillary and Bill toss anti-Semitic slurs around like confetti? If so, do you think that is based on prejudice or on their not being very mannerly?
Well, I don’t think Bill’s all that anti-semitic. IIRC, he and Monica Lewinsky were quite close.
So I blame Hillary. There are lots of people who say that in private, she’s a very nasty piece of work.
I think she pretty much hates everbody.
(Except Huma Abedin. I hear they’re quite close.)
I read that Huma is not a nice lady. I’ve heard that Hillary screams at staff. If there was cardinal rule I was brought up with, it’s that you must not be rude to people who are not allowed to be rude back. The fact that Bill liked Monica doesn’t mean much. I mean she was female and breathing.
3rd party? maybe we need a 3rd reformation….
Or a 3rd American War for Independence?
3rd Inquisition, perhaps?
naw; that took men. From what I see they ain’t coming back with out a reformation.
No honor among cucks. Top neocon author @BradThor steals other people’s tweets and passes them off as his own.
