Trump can’t kill a dead body

America and the Republican Party are dead. America was murdered by Barack Obama and his supporters. The Republican Party was murdered by John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and the US Chamber of Commerce. Bringing them back to life is not something we should bank on happening. The number of people who see America as being on the wrong track hovers above 65% and it has not been less than 61% since mid-February. Approval ratings for the Republican Party are at historic lows. Both are dead.

Doctors are advised to, “First do no harm.” Their job is to help mend and cure the injured and sick. Since they are not miracle workers we cannot expect them to resurrect the dead. Nevertheless, when a body is dead, it is dead and nothing can be done to bring it back or harm it. This is why those who do autopsies don’t have much to worry about – they can’t lose a patient.

Donald Trump can’t kill a dead body. He very well might not be able to bring America and the Republican Party back to life; but what harm can he do to a dead body?

Trump is the guy who is at the door of the morgue saying, “Hey, I know these guys. Can I try to bring them back to life?” Where is the harm in giving him a chance to try his hand at performing a miracle?

The rest of the Republican field contains some very skilled and attractive candidates; but none has the potential to bring “come back” know how to Washington to the degree Trump can. When the situation is as bad as we all know it is; we don’t want to nominate a person that cannot think in dynamic terms. We can’t afford to look good but lose as we have so many times before.

Ted Cruz is a very good man; but he will be eviscerated by the Democrats using the same old playbook they chopped up ordinary Republican candidates with before. He cannot win. Dr. Carson would get the Herman Caine treatment even if they had to make things up out of whole cloth. Scott Walker is just not ready.

This leaves us with Donald Trump, a guy who is hated by the Chamber of Commerce. He is far from perfect but will make the Russians the Chinese and the Iranians listen and is all of these are good things.

I, on the other hand, am a weak sister who's terrified of everything; who has no resolve, no strength; who's idea of confrontation is to hide under sheets, trembling in abject fear. Routinely, I collapse to the floor, paralyzed by unknowable fear, in the fetal position, trembling, naked, sweating, and completely consumed by raw anxiety and a baseless terror of the unknown. Covering my eyes against a threat that is not there, my mouth agape in a silent scream, I stay under the table in that fetal position for hours, shaking, pale and whimpering, often lying in a puddle of my own sick.

I think you mistyped. I have it on the best authority (it's on the Internet, so it must be true) that:

- During your frequent under the sheets activities, you are not the one trembling in abject fear.

- While "naked, sweating, and completely consumed by raw . . ." is an appropriate description for your favorite hobby, you're not the one paralyzed or in terror in those encounters.

- And finally, it's not you with "mouth agape in a silent scream . . . in that fetal position for hours, shaking, pale and whimpering, often lying in a puddle of . . .".

My point was not intended as personal criticism, just a condemnation of despair. I worry that conservatives will give up and stay home in November of next year. I'm not ready to give up on elections until after 2016, and then only if we lose (Hillary, Sanders, Bush, Christie, or some other big government liberal).

I’m sorry, did I miss something?

Yes you did, it isn't about Trump, it is about what is making him rise in the polls which apparently you haven't considered. Cruz to his credit has not attacked Trump indicating that maybe he thinks he might need those Trumpettes.

You keep right on keeping on, indicating that you learned nothing from last election.
