The only thing that can temper the hate for Donald Trump--and it is hate--is when Trump starts winning primaries.
So, until then, I'm perfectly okay watching those folks, especially Jazz, my good friend Navy and Mikey (great graphics!), spew their contempt for the man.
The hate is perfectly understandable. Trump is not polite or deferential to his rivals. Yes, Trump's an intolerant man; he's intolerant of stupid politicians on a quest for personal enrichment, who are running only because it's their turn to join the exclusive DC Power Club.
So, to me, Trump being mean is just Trump being impatient with politicians who are just more of the same old, same old.
You know who you've become?
You've become that guy who deems that any and all opposition to Barack Obama's policies are based in racism.
You're the guy who shouts down criticism of Cam Newton's inexcusably childish behavior during the Super Bowl post-game presser by claiming that people just hate a successful black man.
I don't "hate" Donald Trump. I actually like him.
I buy his ties and watch his TV show regularly.
Hell, every time I visit Manhattan I make it a point to stop and have a coffee at the Trump Plaza Starbucks hoping to get a glimpse of The Donald.
I don't think that he is the right person for the office, AND I think that he's hurt the GOP's ability to win this election.
I don't think that he's even a Republican.
That doesn't make me a Trump hater. It makes me the opposition.
What I do hate is people who can't muster anything other than "hate" or "racism" as an explanation for opposing points of view to a politician/celebrity that they support.
Trump is rude and boorish and profane. That's funny when I want to be entertained, but I'm not looking to be entertained right now. What I am looking for a is President worthy of the nation and a representative of the people of the nation, and I don't think that the people of the nation are rude, boorish and profane.
Trump and his supporters may be, but they're a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of the population.
