hat is exactly what I am doing: giving Trump another look. I do so in good will but with reservations. While I and others are trying to sort it out, SOME (by no means all) of Trump's supporters feel compelled to try to have a triumphal parade on our political graves. I am a big boy. This is not my first rodeo. I accept that I do not always win. That does not mean I like to lose. I sort of lost being a state chairman for Reagan in 1976 but not really because our war on Ford elected Jimmuh Peanut and led to two elections of Reagan and the only nomination defeats the GOP-E has suffered in the last 50 years and with Goldwater's nomination being the only other in the party's history.

In any event, thank you for your kind words. Politeness is good strategy. People like to be asked for their vote. You understand that. God bless you and yours!

In full disclosure, I've said some unkind things about othe candidates. I regret them now. Well, except those I said about Jeb.

We do need to pull together. As Mitt will tell us, "It's a time for choosing."

I don't think that is going to work out as he is planning. But, we'll see.

My view is:

I can support Trump and trust one billionaire;

Or, I can support any of the remaining GOP candidates and trust numerous billionaires who are behind the scenes.

I agree that Trump still has a lot of work to do, but, listening to him talk today about Romney’s “fail” toward the end, in 2012, I think he “gets” that. Trump supporters need to understand THEY have a lot of work to do too, and insulting people they might be able to win over is not smart at all.

I’m not totally in for Trump, but am leaning far enough now that the last couple days I’ve voted in the FR caucus. Trump has plenty of warts, but I think he can do some good if his base holds his feet to the fire, and if he uses his base to hold the (hopefully) GOP Congress’ feet to the fire.

Then again, I could just be asking politely because the way things have been going around here recently, esp. with my parents, a blessing for me and mine sounds pretty good! ;-)
