I like voting absentee, and I got my ballot in the mail a couple of weeks ago. I’ve spent a lot of time staring at it, not thrilled about my choices at the top of the ticket.
That is, until lately.
Vice President Kamala Harris, her surrogate Democrats and the left-leaning legacy media are all making me – a conservative who is not MAGA in any way – actively want to vote for former President Donald Trump. And I know I’m not alone.
Harris and her fellow liberals are starting to sound a lot like the Democrats did in 2016, and it’s a huge turnoff to voters like me.

I don't understand the headline. If you're a conservative, what is the problem you're having voting for Trump? If you're a conservative, what have the democrats done that you think are conservative? This is about as clear-cut a choice for president as one could get. Either you vote for this country to become a socialist nation with many if not all of your rights removed and giving government control over your life, or you vote for freedom and the foundation of this country. Only a female mind could make this decision difficult.

What is a non-MAGA conservative? What do they believe in. Apparently they don't believe in making America great or they would be MAGA. Thus, by my thinking, a non-MAGA "conservative" is likely a RINO or a Republican who thinks he/she is a conservative but is only fooling him/herself.

She probably also is a pro life practicing abortionist as well.

One can only wonder at the source of her animosity toward Trump. However, one can also speculate that she obtains her opinions from left wing commentators who appear on the corporate media outlets rather than doing much, if any actual investigation of original source material. But I am grateful that she at least publicly acknowledges a desire to vote for Trump.

I guess non-MAGA conservatives are like what we once knew as Rockefeller Republicans.

I think #5 is correct. Basically center right who don’t like Jews and “course people” (like Trump) in their country clubs. Think Judge Smalls from Caddy Shack.

If the author actually votes for President Trump, I welcome her aboard. But if, in the end, she votes for Harris, this piece is nothing more than sanctimonious, faux outrage against a dying machine. Seems to me a cowardly ending to the article.

I am struck with the same question, what is a NON- MAGA conservative? We can welcome all the votes we can get but some people's concerns are confusing. The simpliest description for MAGA is that our Country under the dems is going in the wrong direction and we want to return it to its historical roots. What is objectionable about that? The author fails to explain.

I heard a libertarian say the other day he was voting for Trump. What made him decide this? Seeing liz cheney campaigning with skamala. That really can’t be helping her.

My dear sweet brilliant husband would vote for an intelligent, competent woman in a heartbeat. Kamala? Not a chance and misogyny has nothing to do with it. He knows a ditz when he sees one.

I have found the perfect cure for insomnia. I try to recount in my head Kamala's "duality of democracy" speech. I feel asleep within minutes.
