| Hey, great picture. You know, I've never seen a picture like what you posted! Imagine that: a politician touching our flag with reverence. Sure, we know it's a pose for the cameras — but so what. Nobody else does it. Trump thought enough to put his hands on the flag and send the message. It's a subtle reminder that the guy is another Reagan who can bring out the dormant patriot in everyday Americans. He's done other unusual things too, like praising Rush Limbaugh on Twitter. He's done it more than once. And he often says, "the wounded warriors are our best people". It's a beautiful thing to say and he backed up his words with the event the other night to raise awareness about veterans issues. The Green Beret vet with one leg who was the keynote speaker at the Iowa Veterans event mentioned that Trump spent an hour talking with him one time. Now if Trump was only about "making a profit", having a long conversation with a wounded vet doesn't get him anywhere fast. But you add up things like that, the guy has shown he cares, and you detect a pattern of being a good citizen. He cares about people and he also cares about having good government. Opponents can discount all of these things as "pandering to the voters". But we've witnessed his noble words and deeds for many months now. &nbap; And at some point, I think, we need to trust a guy who is honest, successful, courageous, and smart. He's been in the public eye for an incredibly long time so he's been vetted quite a bit. I'll admit, he's no saint. But I distrust saints. I wouldn't let Pope Francis within 100 feet of my Constitution and free republic. You can argue all you want about "free trade" and other conservative principles, but doesn't a Dad try to protect his family? Doesn't he try to raise them right and nurture them to be successful and position them to get good jobs and lead a good life? I loved it when Trump said, he's going to be "greedy for America". Sounds great even if it's not pure conservatism. And given that America is off her stride, we need to take some emergency measures to get her on track again. Give me someone who is real, who's one of us, and someone who proves by his daily hustle and energy that he truly wants to and is competent enough to Make America Great Again.
