The driving message of the #NeverTrump movement is Principle Before Party. According to #NeverTrump, voting for Donald Trump would ostensibly violate conservative principles, and therefore, true conservatives must discard party affiliation and vote third party. Voting third party supposedly allows one to keep his or her conscience intact, while not sharing culpability for the election of Hillary Clinton.
Of course, that idea is mathematically absurd. There is a binary choice for President, even if one abdicates that choice. Not voting for Donald Trump effectively acts as voting, or at least half-voting, for Hillary Clinton.
But why contribute to the Democrats’ cause in fractions? Why not flex your considerable principle and vote for Hillary Clinton outright?
America is going through one heck of a rough patch. Our economy is broken. Our culture is decaying. Our border is porous. And with the rise of Islamic terrorism all across the globe, our national security is in a state of crisis.
We simply cannot afford to shirk the tough decisions at hand. Waving the white flag, especially at this juncture in American politics, is cowardly at best, and treasonous at worst. Bold times call for bold measures.
So if you are truly #NeverTrump, you should also be #HillaryJustThisOnce, right?
And before you bring up an “alternative” candidate, come on. Stop trying to make third party politics happen! It’s not going to happen.

Many people are shocked to learn that because of active censorship, we currently have to spend more time making sure you can even see The National Pulse, than on producing the news itself. Which sucks. Because we do this for the truth, and for you.
But the regime doesn’t want you being informed. That’s why they want us to go away. And that will happen if more people don’t sign up to support our work. It’s basic supply and demand. So demand you get to read The National Pulse, unrestricted. Sign up, today.
We don’t sell ads, and refuse corporate or political cash. It all comes down to you, the reader. I hope you can help.
