Supports Rubio To The Editor: I fear for our country. The absentee ballots are in the mail for our First In The Nation presidential primary to be held on February 9. Seldom in our country’s history has who is to be the nominee been more important. The late famous conservative thinker and writer, William F. Buckley, once wrote what later became known as the “Buckley Rule,� which said something to the effect that a conservative should vote for the most conservative candidate in a primary who can actually win in a general election. That has never been more true than at this time. There is seldom, if ever, an election in which one is able to find a candidate with whom the voter and the candidate agree on every issue. It is usually a matter of voting for the lesser of the evils. We have an “open� primary in which voters who have registered as undeclared as to political party can request a primary ballot for either party. Thus, the wise political strategy in this election cycle is for supporters of Hillary Clinton to register as undeclared, request a Republican primary ballot, and vote for the Republican candidate who is least likely to beat Hillary. If the Republican nominee is unable to beat Hillary Rodham Clinton in the General Election in November, imagine what her presidency will be like: She will be able to ap-

point (for life) several Justices to the US Supreme Court, for several of the existing Justices are ill and old. Imagine whom she will appoint: How about that well-known constitutional law professor, Barack Hussein Obama? How about one or more of her closest confidants and advisors, Huma Mahmood Abedin (wife of the infamous excongressman and serial sexter Anthony Weiner), or Sidney Blumenthal? How about John Kerry or even William Jefferson Clinton (a disbarment should not stand in his way)? What would her cabinet look like? Take some guesses. No matter how improbable, you will probably be fairly close to what would actually happen. These are only some of the issues that cause me great fear and should concern every American. Although Donald Trump may have touched several chords by voicing a number of statements that reflect what many typical Americans actually think and feel, his nomination as the Republican nominee to run against Clinton will insure a victory for her. Trump was a Democrat before he was a Republican, and he espouses numerous viewpoints that are at odds with conservative and/or libertarian American values. For example, he has, on national television, said that he “loves� eminent domain,� which is when the government takes your private property, supposedly for

This newspaper was first published in 1883 by Mathew H. Calvert as Calvert’s Weirs Times and Tourists’ Gazette and continued until Mr. Calvert’s death in 1902. The new Weirs Times was re-established in 1992 and strives to maintain the patriotic spirit of its predecessor as well as his devotion to the interests of Lake Winnipesaukee and the Cocheco Valley area with the new Cocheco Times. Our newspaper’s masthead and the map of Lake Winnipesaukee in the center spread are elements in today’s paper which are taken from Calvert’s historic publication.

public use, but sometimes to turn over the property to private real estate developers, like Trump, for private for-profit development. No matter how much Trump supporters might fantasize about a Trump win, in reality Trump simply cannot win in a general election, because to win the candidate must have sufficiently broad appeal to attract votes from the so-called “middle of the road� voters, who are neither doctrinaire Democrats or Republicans. Trump has the highest negatives of any candidates, meaning that he has the highest number of people answering polls who say that could never vote for him. Thus, I urge my fellow Republicans, declared or undeclared, and my fellow Americans who would not like to see another Clinton administration and what it would do to our great country, to refrain from selecting Trump as the Republican nominee, and pick a candidate who is a true conservative with the personality and temperament to have broad appeal to all voters. My candidate is my former law partner and friend, Marco Rubio. He is not a bully. He is not a reality show star. He does not take great pleasure in shouting out to someone on national TV that they are fired. Not only is he a true conservative but he plays well with others. Norman J. Silber Gilford, NH.
