I am not an  ideologue but base my political beliefs mostly on history, pragmatism,  and experience. Like anyone I have issues that stray from the party  platform (mostly social) and I tend to lean Libertarian at times. After  9-11 I became more active and open with my views. Republicans in  Hollywood, especially the music business, are mutants, an amalgamation  of IST'S, deemed worthy for only Dante's inner rings of Hell. I joined  a group of Hollywood Conservative-Libertarian hollywood actors that was  a basically a AA for Non-Liberals in fear for their livelihoods. I met  some brave and beautiful people (including Andrew Breitbart) who gave me  courage, conviction, and more laughs one should be allowed in a  lifetime. Against the wishes of my label, managers, and many family  members I publicly supported John McCain in 2008. I was warned it would  be career suicide. In 2012 I hit the road with Mitt Romney performing at  many of his rally's and events. The only other pop musician I'm aware  of who did this was Kid Rock. This doesn't make me a hero. Heroes are  our troops and the emergency workers of 9-11. If you asked me would I  have made the same public declarations earlier in my career, when I had  less security, I honestly can't say. I certainly understand the decision  of those who keep their R leanings buried in Hollywood. All this to  say, I've taken a few risks to say what I believe because I love our  country and I believe conservative principles give the best chance of  happiness and prosperity for all Americans. Like most of us (whatever  your political bent)...I'm scared about the future we are leaving for  our children. Why write this mild rant? Because of Donald Trump. I have  voted Republican my whole life. If Donald Trump is the Republican  Nominee that trend will end. I believe Donald Trump is dangerous for our  country, a fraudulent conservative, and frankly...just a bad person. I  believe another Clinton will be horrible for America. Hillary, to me, is  the worst thing about American politics and if her last name wasn't  Clinton would likely be facing indictment instead of affirmation. I  could list the hundred reasons I think Hillary Clinton is bad for our  country but I won't. This post is not ammunition for another left/right  comment war on this page. You all know I respect your views and enjoy  the open dialogue that is the heartbeat of our democracy. I'm simply  saying Never Trump. If it's Clinton and Trump I'm sitting this one out.  To my R friends that say that's a vote for Hillary I'm sorry. If Donald  Trump wins the R nomination I will be changing my lifelong affiliation  to Independent. I can't attach my beliefs to a party that would elect a  Donald Trump. It's as simple as that...Thanks for reading...XO J. //</blockquote>
