Look at the demographics that are flocking to trump and ask why? What do THEY think is the current state of America? Are they confident of our leadership? Our economy? Our foreign policy? Do they feel respected by the establishment? Do they think Washington is listening to their concerns, or even cares? Do they think the world and our enemies especially respect and fear us enough to not attack us? Do they think obama respects individual freedom and the Constitution? Do they want Hillary Clinton as our next ruler? how will that change anything?
Why did Trump step in to run? As he said , he voted for McCain in 2008 and that didn't work. Then he voted fir Romney in 2912 and that didn't work. Then he told Melania, “ I'm going to go do it myself”
Ask yourself why
He is spending his own fortune running for POTUS when he was already a very wealthy, very powerful man whose name is known nationwide. If he wins his entire family's lives will be changed forever and not in a good way They will be reviled and their loves threatened. Perhaps forever. They are rich and powerful and living the good life and loving their work. So why take in this burden?
Actually I am surprised and gratified at their bravery and willingness to share Donald Trumps presidency . In his case and theirs it will be a unique sacrifice ... I just hope God and the Secret Service protect them all
Thanks for putting into words what I have been thinking of late.
Not that I don't understand that Trump has a yuuuuge ego--anyone seeking the office of President would have to!
But I don't think it is only his ego that is motivating Trump--it is also an understanding that our ship of state is sinking! So, instead of just handing out life preservers, he is willing to dive down into the murky waters of politics and rally enough people to support him in fixing the holes that bad policies have created in our ship's hull!
