This is why, even though he wasn't my first, second, third, fourth, or fifth choice, I have no problem being enthusiastic about Donald Trump.
Hell, at the onset, I wanted Scott Walker. Rick Perry would have been acceptable to me. About the only two that would
not have been acceptable were Jim Gilmore and George Pataki, and Gilmore might have won me over if he had tried. At the end of the day, if you're against the (presumptive) nominee, you're for their opponent, because that's the only alternative--no third-party candidate has a snowball's chance in Hell of winning. I hate HilLIARy. Therefore, I am for Trump. Do I think that he will be able to pull off a huge upset? Yes, I do--people have been counting Donald Trump out for
decades, and he always comes back. He should have been destroyed years ago with his multiple bankruptcies, but he's survived and thrived. He survives.
I tend to agree with a Rush Limbaugh column from earlier this week, where he postulates that Trump will win in a landslide. I think that this result is a lot more likely than the landslide going the other way. Why? It's simple--the economy. HilLIARy has to both defend the massive stagflation under Obama, and put forth a plan to improve the economy that's actually workable. She has to stay on the left to get the Bernouts over to her side, yet she has to prove that anything she does will have a different result than what's happening in Venezuela, to get moderates to vote for her. She's in a classic "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation. Plus, the Trump team is
not going to go easy on her because of her gender. The Clintonistas will come hard after Trump, but he'll do something that we didn't see out of the last two (Establishment) Republican candidates--he'll fight back. He'll counterpunch
hard. And he'll score, big. He won't let up. People forget that he's actually
created private-sector jobs, in the various business ventures that he's been involved in. What private-sector jobs has HilLIARy created, other than a couple of legal assistants for the law firm that's defending her from the various charges against her?
Were there better candidates? Yes. Do we have them now? No. Are there a whole bunch of 'gibsmedats?' Yes. Are most of them registered to vote? Doubtful. A lot of older voters are tired of the usual political mumbo-jumbo, like what Trump has to say, and seem willing to give him a chance. Plus, older voters are the most reliable voting age group. The Quinnipiac poll that came out this morning shows good trends for Trump. Let's remember that the election is just under six months away. The "FBI Primary" has to be run, which will probably go horribly for both the Oministration and the Clintons. There won't be an indictment, but there will be a large number--I've heard 40 to 50--FBI agents that will leave the Bureau, and they will not be shy about exactly why they're leaving. There will be multiple, massive leaks of the pertinent evidence, which will be utterly damning to the Dems. Moderates who seemed willing to give HilLIARy a chance will go against her. Sure, the hardcore Dems will vote for her, but there's a fair number of them who are willing to give Trump a chance. They'll never admit that, however.
I think that it's actually going to be a decent year for Republicans. Only time will tell.
