A Letter to Donald Trump (from a voter, not me)-- absolutely outstanding

My whole life, up until yesterday, has been based on reaction to fear.

Growing up as a black man in Washington D.C. during the “crack 80’s”, when Marion Barry was mayor, I lived a lower middle class childhood in one of the most dangerous cities in America. Though I had many friends, I was also subject to the threats, intimidation, and bullying that happens when you’re not like the people around you.

Last night, you also did something else. You became the Man that helped me see fear for what it is: an illusion of power, a powerful teacher, and the path to winning if used properly. There is no reason, regardless of the enormity of the task, to lose to fear if you prepare well, are disciplined in your execution, and have the faith necessary, in God, yourself, and in others…that leads to victory.

Winning is always possible, but becomes probable if you never back down, never quit, and become your dominant self. Once the battle is won, treat the vanquished with kindness and respect. Be the bigger man.

You taught me how to Win.

To say nothing of Rubio. Con man projectionist

Absolutely it should go to Trump; it may have already.

There are two weeks before the next big election day. I hope Trump recruits his minority supporters — and he has many — during that time, and have them up front and center for all the world to see.

Romney, Rubio, Ryan, etc., are going to be brutal and they’re not going to let go of the “disavow” crap. Trump is good at fighting back and this is the kind of evidence he needs.

[MayflowerMadam]

I think you’re right. He’s got them looking desperate and foolish, and now he can stand back, away from the fray, and everyone will notice that he’s the proverbial adult in the room. That started in earnest at his speech last night.

[Wpin]

That so well typifies the Trump Movement, showing it’s depth and breadth in one letter. Americans have thirsted so long for a strong leader like Donald Trump. I believe God has sent him to us at just the right time. Just as He did Reagan, Thatcher and Pope John Paul II in the 80’s.

Thank you so much for posting that!

[GilGil]

There is a psychological dimension that Trump is playing that is way beyond the understanding of any of the candidates or the media or the uniparty. Trump knows how to lead by the nose in any direction he wants. They keep jumping to whatever tune he wants. He is simply amazing.

[StAntKnee]

Interesting and touching, indeed. Also a teachable moment for most of us on this site. The elitists of all colors demean us by the virulence of their hysterical attacks on Mr. Trump and Sen. Cruz. Remember how they called out Mitt for (telling the truth about) the 47 percent? Now they’re calling millions of us racist trash for exercising our right to support a candidate we deem worthy.

And too many of us, unlike Troy, respond by . . .

Trashing each other as well. If you’re a regular on FR, neither Cruz nor Trump is your worst enemy by a long, long shot.

[GilGil]

Or you could be wrong and it is real. You are such a sour puss. Notice I did not say P@ssy!

This letter and he need to be promoted...

The comments section seems to have the Jesse Lee Peterson show reaching out to the guy 30 minutes ago to be on Peterson's radio show next week to discuss the letter.

WHAT IS "FAKE" CONSERVATISM AND WHAT IS "REAL" CONSERVATISM?

This is the year, the culmination of the co-opting of WORDS by the Republicans, much as the left has long known how to co-opt and redefine words and control the dialog by controlling the language.

SINCE WHEN was THIS not REAL CONSERVATISM: Make America great, build the military so strong that no one will attack it, stop drugs pouring over the border, stop illegals pouring over our borders and sucking our welfare systems dry, don't let the enemy (muslims) IN like a trojan horse, don't fund their resettlement here, cut the budget, cut the deficit, eliminate waste, fraud and duplication and redundancy, and TAKE CARE OF OUR VETERANS!

THAT is "conservative". ALL OUR LIVES that is CONSERVATIVE.

But...But....we are told NOW by Cruz, Rubio, the RNC, that we are phony conservatives. And that REAL conservatives believe the following:

NOW, however, the Cruzs and the GOPe and the globalists tell us that "real conservative" means "free trade agreements" like TPP, which screw the US to the brink of existence; promote the North American Union; open and uncontrolled borders and immigration; multiculturalism, like resettling muslim Syrians and Somalians by the hundreds of thousands in flyover country. Run trade deficits in the hundreds of billions and growing each year---approved by REPUBLICAN CONTROLLED CONGRESS, giving the LEFT everything on their wildest wish list. Export US jobs to other countries and allow them to ship their products back her with zero tariffs. Accept massive tariffs or complete prohibitions to get our goods into other countries while opening our borders to freely allow other countries to sell their products here with zero tariffs.

If you do not support THESE things, you are not a "real conservative." TRUMP and TRUMP supporters are phony conservatives because we do not support the end of US sovereignty, nationalism and patriotism.

The political class and globalists have twisted it so that Cruz-family globalism (500,000 more H1B highly skilled visas; massive increases in H2 visas for lettuce pickers; taking bribes from the banks who were GIVEN trillions of taxpayer money in 2008; remove all caps on work visas for China, Mexico and India, allowing them to take the remaining US STEM jobs until crony capitalists can finish exporting the jobs entirely.

WOW

Speaks the truth!

[ArmyTeach]

Troy, you are truly inspiring.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Wow. Spot on.

I like how he addressed it to “President Trump”.

[ConfidentConservative]

WOW, so just curious, how many Black men have you met?

[V K Lee]

In knowing one has seen the potential, will there be seen even more who realize what they have found in this man? May their doors be opened as well. They need not respond, personally, but in ways they know will make then a better person - be it male or female. Will they find within their inner selves the greatness they possess? If given the opportunity, we have the possibility of seeing countless numbers of great Americans in this land. Men and women who hold within themselves their unique ability to help make this country whole,solid, and a great, caring nation. Leader of the free world.

Thank you for the ping, HL. This is certainly one not to be missed. The man has found a voice and he speaks eloquently and from the heart. WTP applaud you, Troy.
