Donald Trump is good theater; he’s much fun. The guy says what’s on his mind and that’s refreshing to some. However, governing in the nuclear age requires more than P.T. Barnum. It requires the tact and diplomacy of Kennedy, Lincoln, anybody named Roosevelt and nobody named Trump. Yes, even bullish Teddy walked softly and carried a big stick. Donald Trump is good for reality television; Trump in the White House would be a nightmare.
Trump is forcing me into the waiting arms of Bush, Kasich and Rubio. As a moderate/centrist Democrat, one would think that I would prefer the worst GOP candidate to be the nominee because that person would be an easier opponent for Hillary. But, this isn’t a Saturday Night Live skit. This is real life and the issues on the table are far too important. An organized Democrat Party would declare Hillary our nom and urge primary voters to help secure the GOP nomination for Trump by switching. Hell naw!
If voting for Bush, Kasich or Rubio in the GOP primary helps one of them actually win the White House over Hillary, I will take that over a possible President Trump. Anyway, Hillary only loses next November if the coalition Obama created doesn’t come back out to vote and if that happens the Democrats get what we deserve….helping working people who can’t find the time to vote….ask Al Gore about that.
Finally, the Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot by flirting with three candidates that never held elected office. Reagan couldn’t be a member of the current GOP. Democrats must seize the opportunity created by the GOP being pulled too far to the Right. Hillary can win but Democrats need to vote down ballot also—from Congress to dog catcher. Decent Republicans shouldn’t stand idly by when crazy stuff is being said. Thank you Governors Kasich and Bush for being reasonable American leaders… your poll numbers reflect how crazy things have become since Fox News and the Tea Party commandeered your party.
