I believe if Hillary is beatable, Trump is the one for the job. Despite the notions of others, some things in this life are obvious and do not require a personal interpreter for one to get a handle. People are tired of the lies and that is the source of outsider support. I've heard every smug so-called conservative from John Sununu, to the now infamous Andrea McWilliams, to Erick Erickson inform me that they are about to step in and make my choice for nominee for me, and to heck with this silly notion of a government for and by the people and vote counting. Civics in remedial form, are these days being crammed down people's throats.

It is laudable for Trump to work free for the greater good of this nation. Thanks entirely to Trump and at long last, it is again acceptable to reject the idea of the population of this land packing up and abandoning all the wonderful works that we have achieved just so those guilty of criminal trespass may possess them. And there is one more thing, if not for the efforts of Mr Trump, every single sniveling Republican would still be running like a scalded dog for the bomb shelter at some geek Democrat's charge of intolerance, or some ghost of a non politically correct trespass, or God forbid the nuclear option, which is of course any manufactured incident of racial bias.

At bare minimum, Donald Trump has shaped Ted Cruz into a candidate that may pass for the people's choice. Further, there has not been such a blatant and unholy coalition of liberals and conservatives bent on denying the Republican front runner in my lifetime. It has been embarrassing to say the least, but it has also revealed to us the origin of the rejection of Tea Party principles and the true face of all the opposition. The RINO's are running loose.

I wish Donald Trump would back off the tit for tat now and just fully embrace the idea that an awful lot of Americans do think that opposing bad trade policies isn't being against free trade as much as for fair trade, do think that if our politicians keep kicking the can down the road on immigration reform that pretty soon Europe's issues will be ours, do think that NATO is an example of others get the benefit of protections we end up mostly paying for and that doesn't make us isolationists, do think that "America first" is an "about time" concept that doesn't mean screw the rest of the world but does mean our own house is crumbling and needs attention. Donald Trump has faults, yes, but he also has a lot of raw political courage.
