Eloquence hasn’t served us well. To the contrary, the polished charlatans have repeatedly soiled the trust of liberty-minded voters — voters that are tired of being abused, and tired of the political devices crushing every chance for economic and moral recovery.

Save Cruz, not one candidate besides Trump has demonstrated the desire to overcome the institutionalized repression the GOP establishment regularly facilitates. I’m not condemning the entirety of Congress, but the resident aristocrats have rendered the necessary sea change an impossibility.

I have no problem with Trump’s brash personality. But if for you it’s a sign of trouble, I understand your reservations.

Gene,

I have no problem with Trump's brash personality either except as it might relate to his electability in the general election. My concern goes to his very dubious history, to his, frankly, cruelty, and to his incoherent political philosophy.

Because Trump is not a doctrinaire conservative but a blatant narcissist, I question his desire to overcome "the institutionalized repression the GOP establishment regularly facilitates" except and unless the GOPe obstructs his designs.

Nevertheless, I'm now on record as believing that he will be the nominee and I will support him in the general. My phrase is, I will surrender all to this process except my self-respect.
