Thank you, but it is not complicated.

I am not enamored of Trump or enthralled by him.

In a world crashing apart, infected with gibbering nuclear mullahs and careening from debt to debt to debt and a disgustingly, inexcusably and pitifully intimidated American people - the nation will do well with a cattle-catcher on the front of an unabashed man of power.

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out
in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom
of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

(Jack London, "Credo")


I would rather my nation explode than collapse.
I would rather that freedom should burn out
in a brilliant flare of desire than it should be stifled by political correctness.
I would rather have America be a shining dream, every citizen
awake and striving for freedom, than a gulag of ideological despair.
The function of Man is to be free, not to serve the State.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong the death of my country.
I will vote for a smashing change.

Or something like that.

We are on the same track, riding the same train. I simply think Trump has what it takes to break the political lock on power held by the coalition in place in Washington now.
I think he is the only one capable of saving this country and it has to be now.

“In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
But a hero in the strife.

Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us,
Footsteps on the sands of time......”

from A Psalm of Life, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

My father always said he’d rather wear out than rust out. I am my father’s daughter.
