A businessman would have the place run more efficiently. With the exception of the post office, the military, and the mint/bureau of engraving, there is little in the bloated Federal Leviathan I want to be more efficient, especially those agencies and Departments which have been on an extraConstitutional mission to usurp the power and Rights of We, the People. <p>Some serious downsizing would be in order, but a reduction in scope as well. When confronted with the NEA, the SEIU, the environmental lobby (recall New York banned hydraulic fracturing), the anti gun lobby (including Bloomberg), will Trump stand on the side of the Constitution--will he even know what that is? And I haven't even touched on the selling of baby parts by Planned Parenthood which has enjoyed his warm praise, nor the idea to make Obamacare more efficient instead of just eliminate it.
Nope, I'm not seeing what I want to, and combined with an autocratic nature and the overwhelming desire to 'win', regardless of whether his stance is correct, I have a very hard time even considering being neutral toward Trump, much less voting for him. The real clincher for me, though, is the blatant character assassination of Ted Cruz. Another deal-breaker, and the last straw.
I can certainly understand your feelings.
Trump is doing what he needs to do...go after every single vote he can find. He's bringing more and more Independents and Democrats into his tent, and by extension, the Republican Party.
He has to do this because he's being savaged by Social Conservatives who fail him miserably in their election-year litmus tests. They seem him of weak and moral character...unwilling to acknowledge his business and developer acumen.
And, of course, he's savaged by the GOPe, who fear losing their little piece of the Fiefdom known on Capitol Hill.
My dad said..."Son! It's not how you start. It's how you finish! That's how people will remember you."
I'm convinced history will show Trump to be an enormously successful American President, a crude man of few words, with a erudite, keen grasp of any given issue.
He's the perfect man to be answering that phone at 3AM.
