Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.
Being a family blog, I can not use stronger language over the fact that, according to this poll, Donald Trump is tied for the lead for the Republican nomination for president.
Just as bad is who Mr. Trump is tied with.
That would be the former Arkansas governor, the Rev. Mike Huckabee.
The disturbing aspect of this poll is that fact that two of the more serious candidates, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty have lost ground.
The poll was of 824 adults and 385 Republicans and completed over this past weekend.
So, the trend is great for Mr. Trump and the Rev. Mike. Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor, is holding steady. Losing ground is Mr. Romney and the former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
I just do not get it. Really, I don't get it.
I mean, there are a lot of serious people wanting to run for president. I just do not see Mr. Trump as a serious candidate. I mean, he is riding on the ridiculous issue of whether or not the Dear Leader, President Obama, was born in the United States. Really, is that what Republican voters care about? I do not think so. Now, he is talking about the role of the United States in the world and how we are not exactly loved and respected. You know, all that the Dear Leader, President Obama promised if we just elected him president.
My thought is that people believe that he is a straight shooter. And at some level, that is true. But I just do not see him as focused enough. I have not heard anything on how he would handle the federal budget deficit. Does Mr. Trump support the Paul Ryan budget plan? If not, what would he do differently?
See, name is not the only thing.
What Mr. Trump believes and how that separates him from the rest of the pack is what matters.
And, for those that find Mrs. Palin to not be someone to take seriously, how can anyone take Mr. Trump seriously?
In a way, I think he has the potential to be our version of the Italian prime minister, Silvio Berlusconi. Now, if one thinks that the United States is on the decline, would having a President Trump not be a sign that the decline is real?
Please my fellow Republicans, take a deep breath and realize that while Mr. Trump may sound good, he is way beyond a flawed person that can not really be the president of the United States. Do not continue enabling this potential train to destruction.
