In light of recent events, there has been a lot of debate throughout the GOP about whether or not we should vote for Trump, who will more than likely be our nominee, or vote for a third party. I would like to start off by saying that I am in no way saying that I agree completely with Trump or have supported him in the past. I, personally, was #TeamMarco the entire election. However, when the general election rolls around, I am still going to support the Republican Party. Here's why:
First of all, a vote for a third party is a vote for Hillary. While I would like to vote Libertarian or Independent, a third party candidate simply cannot win and too many votes for those parties will ensure a Democrat victory. At this point, there is no great candidate on the ballot. We're basically having to choose the lesser of two evils. In this case, that would be Trump. If there's anyone in Washington that absolutely does not need to be elected President, it's Hillary Clinton. She has spent her entire career telling lies. Do I need to even mention Benghazi or her email account? The woman can't be trusted.
Second, I still support the GOP. While we might be going through a rough patch right now, I know that we will get past this and reunite again. The Republican Party is the heart and soul of conservative values and we cannot let one election change that. Because, in the end, it's just that; one election. Are you really going to tell me that we're going to let Donald Trump tear apart an entire party that has stood strong for years? Absolutely not. We all had our choice of candidates and we all were heartbroken when they suspended their campaign (especially me), but now it's time to make a decision and keep the party going strong. It's only four years.
Lastly, we're all imperfect. It's at times like these that you have to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. As for me, I know my true citizenship is not here in the United States or even on Earth. It's in Heaven where the only perfect leader rules, God. When we elect a President, we're choosing an imperfect person to lead imperfect people. Let me say that again... We're choosing an imperfect person to lead imperfect people. As much as I love politics, it's important to remember who's really in charge. It's hard to worry about unimportant things like elections when that peace is found.
I'm not here to tell you who to vote for, but hopefully these words made you think about things in a different light. No matter who wins this election, everything is going to be okay.
