Hillary is going to run the most vile and vicious campaign in American history and Trump has opportunity like few others before him ever have possessed, by taking the high ground and not stooping to the level of Hillary (G-d, I hate writing even her first name, it'll be at least 3 or 4 generations before it stops being so toxic).
If he does this, then he'll have already taken a massive first real step toward leading the way to an American renaissance.
America needs leadership? Damn right it does. I said I didn't vote for him in the primary because of my personal rule. If he takes the road less traveled, and I sincerely believe that most Americans would admire him for it enough to enthusiastically vote for him, then yes I absolutely would and will vote for Trump in the general.
I've run for office before. Didn't win (came close though) but I gave it my best shot. Haven't been the same since. When you grab hold of the responsibility the Founding Fathers gave us by the horns, it changes you. For the better. Can you say you've stood for public office?
Maybe if more of us did and vowed to do so honorably, this could have the chance of being the America it need to be. Can't expect it to change for the better if you just keep trusting others. You have to step up and do some things yourself.
I expect better from American leadership. We all should.
The utopian behavior you’re describing — turn the other cheek when your political foe brands you as a racist bigot and more — is all well and good in some areas of life. But this is the Mother of all Competitions, and this ain’t Tiddlywinks. Besides, that kind of behavior is interpreted by the masses as big-time choking. Big-time choking leads to big-time defeat. Just ask Mitt Romney & Company.
We are here for at least 4 clear reasons:
1) The inexplicable failure of BushJr to defend himself during 8 years of mostly unfair, unrelenting criticism from SoreLoser Gore supporters;
2) A weak, ineffectual cheerleader-chant of “Fight, Fight, Fight!” by McCain in the closing days of the 2008 campaign that left most of us scratching our heads;
3) A defeatist collapse by Mitt Romney in 2012 in the closing days of his campaign, beginning with his choking during that 2nd debate; and
4) The bought-and-sold Congress of 2008-2016, a collective group of wussified, panty-waisted, globalists who are enriching themselves by selling our national sovereignty on the proverbial global auction block.
So here we sit, right in the middle of writing the 22nd-century history books, witnessing The Trump Phenomenon. We are here protecting Donald Trump from current and future knife attacks because we KNOW Trump is a street fighter who will go for the jugular of his opponent if he is attacked unfairly. Unlike all previous GOP Presidential contenders since Reagan, The Donald is ready, willing, and able to rip to shreds the Head Beelzebub of our time.
And you want this brave leader to lay over and expose his vital organ underbelly to Beelzebub so you feel comfortable voting for him?
Allrighty then.
