I Don't Like Donald Trump, But Here Are The 4 Reasons I'm Voting For Him

The lesser of two evils.

I Don't Like Donald Trump, But Here Are The 4 Reasons I'm Voting For Him

2016 is probably one of the most controversial and nerve-wracking election years anyone, currently living in America, has experienced. I mean, our only palpable options are a lying woman or a rude man. Neither of which are Presidential material in my opinion.

I won't lie and tell you I'm some political guru and that I have all the facts. It's actually just the opposite because honestly I am one of the least political people you'll ever meet. I don't spend 6 hours watching Fox news, rearrange my schedule for the debates, or argue with someone at the grocery store over foreign policies.

But come November, I will have to make a choice. And here's why I'm voting for a man I don't like:

1. He professes faith in God.

Now, I know that Donald Trump is not the most accurate example of what it looks like to follow Christ. He, at least, claims to be a Christian. An open heart is something that can easily be infiltrated by God's love and guidance and I believe that if it is God's will to bless America with Trumps's presidency that He will soften Trump's heart to hear God speak.

2. He is pro-life.

Say it's silly all you want. I may not be political but I am ethical and abortion is one of the most unethical practices allowed in this country. If it truly were "her body", then she's the one that would die during the abortion. It's not her body, it's the baby's body. If trump follows through with his statements, there would be one less form of evil in America.

3. He isn't hell-bent on taking guns away.

I am not a gun owner (yet). Nor have I ever been one. But I am a female who sometimes feels threatened or scared when my husband isn't home. With the way this world is going, I am beginning to even feel nervous going to any major city. I should have the right to protect myself.

I have lived in the south my entire life where nearly everyone owns a gun, and never have I felt threatened by your average gun owner. Do you know why? Because having a gun doesn't make you a killer, not knowing the value of life does. Just think, if even one person at the Pulse night club would have been carrying a gun, imagine how much faster that terrorist would have gotten out of there. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens is not the answer to the problem, and I believe Trump knows that.

4. Anything's better than Hillary.

I know that's harsh but I mean, come on, America. Weigh your options. I know there's no Ronald Regan or George Washington in this race, but there is still hope. Our duty is to get in the voting booth, and, considering our options, make a choice that will honor God. Our responsibility then is to pray for our country and it's new leader and trust that if it's God's will, He will take care of us.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
