Okay, okay, enough of the “yeah’s” over Donald Trump’s outrageous pronouncements. He’s going to build a wall and Mexico’s going to pay for it. He’s going to deport 12 million illegals. He’s going to bring back all of those jobs from off shore. We’re going to have victories again. He’s going to make America great again.
We’re angry with the direction of the nation, and he’s been saying things we, for the most part, agree with; things our establishment candidates don’t say, and we liked it. There’s one glaring omission. The “how’s.”
We’ve enjoyed his defiance of political correctness and his attacks on the media, but he has gone too far with his crude attacks on fellow candidates. Trump’s bluster is wearing thin now, and we have to get serious about a Republican candidate who can beat Hillary Clinton.
Seriously, folks, is Trump the person you really want to see in the White House? Not only does he lack the temperament and statesmanship, he lacks the government experience we need now.
I cannot help but recall how we missed the boat with Mitt Romney in 2012. He had the business creds, the statesmanship and government experience. If he would have strayed from his usual calm temperament, when he had President Obama on the ropes, I think he could have won.
Romney’s much publicized private slam at the “47 million takers” in our society pales from the outrageous things Trump has said.
We should all thank Trump for generating the higher than normal interest in the presidential campaign, but now it’s time for us to get serious.
