For years I’ve been angry and hopeless and despairing about our country. Then Trump comes along. He has an enthusiasm and excitement that rubbed off on me. I began to think, maybe we can be rallied to our senses by real leadership.
But here’s the thing- right away I noticed I was making excuses and rationalizing for him in ways I NEVER would for other politicians. I’ve learned to pay attention when I do that. I notice others doing the same thing. And it’s not just on one or two things. It’s an ongoing thing, every day. He’ll say something outrageous and we bend like pretzels to accomodate him.
We had some pretty strong words for people on the left when they did this for the current president.
I wish we could transfer Trump’s charisma into Cruz’s body.
I agree...and that’s just it....our nation is “ripe” to be mislead after this Obama administration...and why we must be extremely cautious in who we support for our nominee.....
What we see happening with Trump rings much like Obamas rise ...which should be a yellow light....Trump is a very engaging personality because he’s saying what people have felt throughout this administration...but that is not enough reason to vote for him...and the press is not helping by eliminating these other candidates from being given equal face time with the press.
Have you listened to Sanders at all?....the two sound very much alike in some very revealing respects....
I sometimes wonder if Trump, Sanders and even Biden stepping up are all to do the heavy lifting Hillary (healthwise) cann not do.....she simply cannot fight Obama’s take down of the Clintons and also run her campaign....
It is fair to say NOTHING is at it seems in this election....we need to be so very cautious.
