Dear Friends and
Followers (Yes, both of you);
From the beginning
at Donald Trump's declaring he was running for the presidency I leaned his
way. I haven't now for a while. In the early days and even in the past few
months I have defended his stance on the border because of the
misrepresentation of things he said by some of the media that then was repeated
back to me. That doesn't mean I support
him. I don't.
I could cherry pick
out all sorts of quotes and facts as to why I don't think he would not be right
for the conservative movement. I read
them here on google + and CNN, Fox news and MSNBC and so forth. You can too. I like some of the ideas he puts forth and
hate the way he puts them forth.
Like so many others,
I don't fully understand where his power lies.
He's been compared to tyrants of the past that do have a certain
familiar ring to it as to how they came to power when compared to Trump. I know to suggest that he would be like them
is probably a stretch, yet…
I was not put off by
his characterization of "Illegal" Mexican's sneaking in to the U.S. I
think he was partly right about that.
But, then it all goes downhill from there for me. The first hit was when he denigrated Senator
McCain as not being war hero. Which
McCain is. I could overlook that for the
sake of the rest of his package. Then
Trump declares there should be a hold on Muslims coming into the country. I know what he is driving at, but all
Muslims? Too extreme in my view.
Where my support for
him went south fully is when he bowed out of the last Iowa debate because Megan
Kelly was one of the moderators.
Really? And then he hosted a
veterans benefit where the money went to his general fund not to a VA
group. I'm sure he contributes plenty to
such groups, but it was disingenuous of him.
From that point on, things he would say and the bully fashion in which
he would say them has solidified my abandonment of him. He says Planned Parenthood does wonderful
things. They slaughter hundreds of babies
a day. He accuses President Bush of
lying to the country to go to war in Iraq.
That's been a far left liberal mantra for years. He doesn't know who David Duke is? He struggles to denounce the KKK. I don't buy all that. I think Trump is playing us.
Finally, Mitt Romney
is not for him. He hasn't come right out
and said it. He is not for Trump. I am saddened by the mudslinging that Trump has dragged the party down to. Sure, there has been plenty in the past
elections, but none like the tone we have now.
I think Trump is vindictive. I
think he would keep an enemies list like Nixon and wield his power of
government agencies to make his enemies pay.
You think Obama has been bad. I
fear Obama would pale in the face of what Trump is capable of doing. People argue that would be fine because he is
conservative. It wouldn't be fine if he
was conservative which I don't think he is.
I think he is a clever liberal shrouded in a conservative cloak.
I am for Cruz or
Rubio. I think one or the other would be
just fine. I lean a bit toward Cruz
after listening to him often. Rubio is
smart too. Both would be better picks
than Trump. I urge you not to support
Trump. The rest of the world doesn't
respect the United States anymore because of Obama; I'm afraid the world would
hate us because of Trump.
