I’m all for enthusiasm, Lord knows we need it, and if Trumps our nominee then he’s got my vote. But we’re still in the vetting process and I’d hate to wait till we got to the big game before some big shoe drops because we got to starry eyed to see it coming. Just saying.
And because he speaks off the cuff with sincerity (whether you like what he says or not), people trust him.
And because he is an outsider who can't be bought, he is doubly vetted.
And because most of Americans are desperate, I mean DESPERATE, for real leadership (and whatever else he is, he is a strong leader), he is triply vetted.
Hence the wild enthusiasm.
People are permitting themselves to hope that perhaps the country just might not be lost after all.
I approached vetting Donald Trump a few months back and I expected to find a liar, a mobster, a no-good New Yorker who will say anything to get his way.
Instead, I found this:

That finding and a hundred other patriotic things about Donald Trump more than closed the deal for me.
Vetting process is so over! But I hope you catch up soon and thank Our Lord for what America needs so much at this precise moment!
In fact, the recent scrutiny on Trump's past by his political opponents is actually having a reverse effect. People are starting to see the real Donald Trump. Before Trump got into the race, most Americans thought of Trump as this outrageous, larger-than-life clown caricature. As they look past the tabloid headlines of the past and give him a harder look, they see a more serious, hard-nosed businessman who treats his employees very well and is very dedicated to his family and American values.
Look at the desperation of Trump's political opponents today, now that they realize they are about out of bullets and Trump is still standing tall, way ahead in the polls and still the established front-runner. Now they are digging up things from the early 1980s (such as Trump's failed bid to purchase and move the Cleveland Indians ball team).
Earlier this year, I thought Trump would be vulnerable on some of his business dealings, like those eminent domain battles and the failed properties in Atlantic City. However, Trump has done a masterful job by sucking the air out of these potential negative stories by saying he "loves eminent domain" and that he was a genius for getting out of Atlantic City when he did. Some of us may disagree with his attempts use the courts to rule in his favor on eminent domain, but fact is Trump has successfully spun those situations into a positive light for himself. It's just Trump being a good businessman and trying to create jobs and wealth for others.
The only possible "personal" scandal with Trump is the fact he was married three times but that's already an established fact among just about everybody and the fact that his two ex wives seem to be on good terms with him and even supports his presidential aspirations defuses even that potential source of controversy. Otherwise, Trump is squeaky clean with his personal habits, doesn't even drink coffee or tea, I understand.
