Apology

I want to apologize up front to any friends or loved ones who happen to be Democrats or Donald Trump supporters. If you leave right now, my apology will be unnecessary. But if you continue, I pray that you will continue to count me as your friend. I should warn you, though--it will be difficult.
That's because I have nothing to say that Democrats and Trumpeters will like.

But if I don't let it out I'll explode!

I may as well get Donald Trump out of my system first. He is to me the easiest to despise, but at the same time the hardest to criticize--mainly because so many of my friends and loved ones like him so much. They like his brashness, his "in your face" refusal to be politically correct, and point to his success in business, saying that's what we need in a President.

If that's all I had to go on, I might even agree with them. The problem is, Donald Trump has given me a whole lot more than that to chew on, and I find the taste revolting.

It started with his reluctance to take the "pledge"--a promise to support the eventual Republican nominee for President.  He finally did it, but I frankly don't trust his word. If he doesn't get the nomination, you can bet he will claim the process was unfair and renege on his promise.  It takes integrity to keep a promise.

Now he's decided that he should get the nomination even if he doesn't have the majority of delegates that's been required by the rules since Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln and Reagan may have had to lower themselves to actually earn the nomination by following the rules, but nothing is more "terrific" to Donald Trump than Donald Trump. Anyone and everything else is just a "disaster".

Next time he opens his mouth, count the number of times he says those two words.

I'm not even going to get into his history as a Democrat cheerleader, his support for abortion, his "University", the trashing of the sacrifices and successes of our soldiers in Iraq, or even his stupid insults to Ted Cruz' wife. (You can bet the Democrats won't be so reluctant!)

That’s because if he gets the GOP nomination, I WILL vote for him.  Voting for Trump will be the hardest vote I’ve ever had to cast. But I will do it. At least there’s some small hope that he could be a good President.

There is absolutely no doubt that any Democrat would be the “disaster” that Trump talks about so much.  Since LBJ they have proved themselves over and over again to be more despicable than even Donald Trump. 

But in this most promising of election years, when just about any Conservative nominee could easily win the Presidency , it looks like we're going to bet the country in the bankrupt Trump Casino.
