Clinton is a role model even though we vehemently disagree - USA Today

Dishonorable Trump forces me to support the diligently assertive Clinton.



“I will say this about Hillary. She doesn’t quit. She doesn’t give up.” Avoiding a Donald Trump presidency is the reason I’ll vote for Hillary Clinton, but in the town hall debate, he articulated the reason I’m glad I’ve been forced to support her.

Let me back up to say that no one who knows me well would confuse me for a liberal. I registered as a Republican promptly upon turning 18, I joined a conservative debating society in college, and I have a Reagan calendar hanging prominently above my desk. But this year, I’ll vote for Clinton.

Do I disagree with her? Let me count the ways. Do I distrust her? Maybe.

It’s a strange day when neither of those things is a deal-breaker. I wouldn’t be here if the Republican nominee were almost any other conservative in the national political arena. Ultimately, I agree with Mitt Romney, that this year’s GOP nominee fails “the basic responsibility of honorable conduct” — the biggest deal-breaker of all. - USA Today
