Conservative columnist, gadfly and wit P.J. O'Rourke http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2 ... -know.html]is endorsing Hilary Clinton with the most devastatingly eviscerating comments about why he'd rather vote for her than Trump. Even if you don't ever agree with him, read it, just for the laughs.

Quote:Hillary is a terrible bien pensant, taking her opinions from the top of the star-studded social ladder. In another day and place she’d be campaigning from Tara with the slogan “Fiddle-Dee-Dee.” Frankly, Hillary, I don’t give a damn. I endorse you anyway.Of course, he has more than a "beat Trump" motive -- he sees a Hilary Presidency as inevitably leading to a resurgence of the Republican Party, but he also acknowledges that supporting Trump would mean there would be no Republican Party to resurge, and possibly no democratic system for it to resurge in.
Better bien pensant than pas de pensees.
Better a nit of wit than a louse.
Better a mangy cat than a rabid dog.
Better the scurrying of mousey progressivism gnawing at the fabric of society in the White House than a rat sitting on the Oval Office desk.
Better to root up the garden of free enterprise with the Democratic pigs than run off a protectionist cliff with the Gadarene swine Republicans.
...
Hillary, you are the crone in crony capitalism. I endorse you.
I choose Goldman Sachs’s milch cow over the cretin bull siring his herds of mini-Minotaurs—half-men, half-bullshit—laying waste to the country.
Better a Marie Antoinette of the left saying, “Let them eat fruit and fiber,” than a Know Nothing who would be Robespierre if he could spell it.
