So basically you’re saying you want the same ole-same ole dyed in the wool politician?

We have unique problems in the land these days and we need someone with vision as well as the ability to navigate the waters. There are very few visionaries on the face of this earth.

I’m GLAD to see that Trump had a few OOPS and OHMY’s along the way. Those are crucial experiences for growth and learning, essential for each and every human being for the same reason.

I remember NYC in the early 70’s before the twin towers were even completed. They were fully erected, but the skin needed to be finished on the top quarter of one of them.

The only thing I remember about Staten Island was Battery Park.

My dad lived in that city and he took us everywhere, we experienced everything including watching a bunch of punks leaping onto the fairly new vehicle of an elderly man and woman, slathering paint with brushes all over their vehicle, then pulling the elderly man from the vehicle, beating him up and leaving that old man crumpled in the middle of the intersection.

It was a dirty, filthy city full of run down old buildings with the exception of a few new ones going up and that included the twin towers.

I remember watching a woman with about 100 purses scattered all around her as she slept on the steps of Madison Square Garden...totally passed out. And I remember watching in wonder as people walked around Time’s Square at night wearing absolutely nothing more than bed sheets.

I remember the pollution being so bad, you couldn’t see the towers on the Geo. Washington bridge even when you were right under them, and when you washed your hair, the water was green from the grime in the air. Daily.

It was a scary place, for sure, but also exciting. I remember asking my dad to take us to Central Park, he refused. He just said it was a bad place.

I was just a visitor, a teenager, but teens don’t miss much. They see the good, they see the bad.

I’ve been in and out of NYC several times since, it’s cleaned up a lot, but you still have to watch yourself, pay attention to your surroundings.

And no city except perhaps Boston, can beat the food! The best in the world, and memorable.

Trump has a goofy personality, but that’s just the exterior. He’s high on the list of who’s who, and doesn’t act like that around the average person.

Thank God he’s not confined to the political box.

I was born and raised in New York. I remember the Lindsay years. (I didn’t think it was possible to make Lindsay look good, but Comrade DeBloodio seems to be pulling it off.)

Trump has been mostly good for New York. He’s done a lot to help the city. His efforts in Atlantic City were not as successful.

As I said before, I think Trump would make a great mayor, as Giuliani was. But like Giuliani, that doesn’t mean I want him to be president.

Trump has praised single payer, proposed an immigration plan that is way too close to touchback amnesty, abused eminent domain and supported Kelo, attacked Scalia (with an imputation of racism) while praising his liberal pro-abort sister as a “great” choice for the Supreme Court,opposed full defunding of Planned Parenthood, said that he’d replace 0bama’s executive orders with “good ones”, and taken liberal positions on numerous other issues.

He has donated BIG money to Democrats, more than to Republicans. He called Pat Buchanan a “Hitler lover”. He changed his party registration SIX times (not once, like President Reagan.)

At the very least, he’s not a reliable conservative.

We hve the possibility of nominating and electing a candidate with a constitutionalist conservative record. Why opt for an inconsistent populist with “progressive” leanings instead? Isn’t that the kind of candidate that has lost for us?
