In this article called I’m wielding my electoral power of 40 Texas Republicans to vote for a man I hate
written by Rachel Manteuffel in The Washington Post she talks about how she
will be voting for a man that she does not like. This might not make sense to
many people but it will in a bit. Rachel goes on to say in her article that, “Moral
authorities such as Mitt Romney… have declared it the duty of Republicans to
stop Trump”.
Rachel is claiming that by casting your vote for someone else other than trump than that will be better, even if it is someone that you do not like or approve of. She continues to say, “I don’t want the rest of the world to watch us get so close to electing a boorish xenophobe sexist who doesn’t seem to care what he’s actually saying… as long as the crowd roars in delight.” I would have to completely agree with the author Rachel Manteuffel.
We are coming so close to
having the Republican Party back up a candidate who has brought out the truly
bad side of everyone, supporter or not. This article makes sense because in an
article I had read before it was speaking about how Marco Rubio’s campaign was
urging support for Kasich in Ohio. This means that between Republicans they are
trying to flush out someone who knows that would bring shame to its party. We
cannot be letting this happen, we can’t let our fears and phobias get in the
way to see clearly. Yes we might not all agree on who to vote for but what we
should agree on is that we can’t possibly let someone who has divided us more
than ever be President. The day that we are divided as a nation is the day that
we are most vulnerable. Our country is called United States of America, ‘United’,
for a reason because we know what is beneficially and we know what is
destructive to our Great Nation.
