Donald Trump is a total and complete embarassment to my party and frankly to the entire political process.
When people say he speaks for them, I find it difficult to think that there are that many hate mongering, attack dogs on the planet.
The Republican party has some great young candidates and Donald Trump has called all of them names, and never is able to actually conduct a conversation on their policies, ideas and stands on issues which is where the conversation should be directed.
I think this process has been a low point in our political process from the beginning of the country. Those who utter others names in comparing Trump, do a disservice of HUGE proportions to anyone they choose to compare him to.
Many posts on this forum are not genuine and simply a method of passing the time and releasing some agression but my statement to follow could not be more sincere.
I will tell you from the bottom of my heart that I could never vote for Hillary Clinton simply because I have read many books on her, checked and rechecked the validity of the claims and she is a liar of EPIC proportions.
If Trump is allowed by voters to gain any sort of foothold in the first few primaries, I will then be 100% disgusted with the entire Republican Party being so stupid and naive. I will change my registration to independent and will not vote. Not voting is what cost Romney the nomination, but Trump has unsettled me in such a manner that I will simply hold my nose, not vote, and watch the continued downfall of a country that i fought for and loved.
I would welcome any Trump followers to debate this man on the issues but certainly not on a board that protects silly immature people from even identifying themselves. I just suggest that your constant talking of this man as if he deserved your serious consideration is an affront and if you are unable to see what he is doing to the party and the country (in concert with the media who has proven they cover more show business than actual governing) then you probably deserve what is to come.
Ms Clinton lied, as she is prone to do, last night in her comments on Trump and the media gave her a pass and actually piled on with the same rhetoric, but the damage he is doing is not to our battle with ISIS but to a party and the country.
If Donald Trump is as he says speaking for the silent majority, then I ask that silent majority to hold him to the same standards as you would hold your trash man to. How will you do it and then think how practical it is. YOU have criticized a president and I have joined you, but I will not join in having any dealings or serious discussion about a man who is so far worse, and as I say, even serious discussion about this man is a detriment to our country.
In the late 50's, I became involved in politics. I recognize what politicians are about.....I worked with them for years.....I have no dumb illusions about them.
But in almost 60 years of being closely involved and intimately interested in the political process, I am sickened by what this man is doing. I cannot speak for his intentions, which appear to be self promotion only, but I can speak with great confidence about what he is doing to the process and my party.
He is not even a nice person, let alone someone who should get a minute of conversation. He may be a great business man, but I assure you, a statesman or leader in the public realm he is NOT
I feel better. I stopped posting on here because this board has become a potpourri of what we do not need, with little attention to anything but having childish fun with words. I am using it this evening to vent a bit.
It is a shame we cannot honestly and openly discuss events of the world online with neighbors....there are other sites, but talking with neighbors is just different. It cannot and will not be done on here and that is fine. It is obviously because the great majority do not want to have such a place.
I know I take it seriously, as has been charged, but I believe it IS serious, and as the worlds advancement give us quicker technology it is even more serious. I certainly do not want to interrupt the fun that people have on here with being serious but it is how I feel.
To those who say it is unimportant, I totally and 100% disagree. I never had visions of changing anyones mind as accused but rather of insuring folks were dealing with facts when making decisions. Decisions that I grew up believing were to be made with a serious study of.
We enjoy blaming all the politicians in Washington. WE and others like us elected those people based on all the wrong things and it just gets worse.
The Trump situation is a bad one that I just wanted to get off my chest. Those who "follow" and "cheer" him are being conned by a good salesman; one which you would come on here and complain about if he sold you something for your home.
