Even worse, these are the only "serious" choices we have? The only ones "given" to us?
How absurd.
While Trump is seriously entertaining, I find him "attractive" only in the way I imagine Hitler, Mussolini or Obama were once attractive (to some). He is a "strong man" (like Putin, only English-speaking). He is, I fear, a Bavarian buffoon who haphazardly will lead us into (even more) wars, being a "bully," full or braggadocio, bravado and pride.
I want a president who is humble; who understands the proper limits of political power that ought to constrain all government action; who has experience in government; who loves the principles this country was founded on.
(And, no, our country's "greatness" is NOT primarily based on the principle that people can get RICH here by hard work -- and by working with politicians...like Donald Trump has. It's MUCH more than that.)
As freedoms and opportunities diminish and society crumbles into chaos, people start looking for a strong man to "save" them. Trump is America's latest iteration of that quest -- only farther down the road to full-blown "dictator." I like his plain-spokenness, his breath-of-fresh-air, common-sense approach. We NEED that. We need more "non-politicians" in Washington. A LOT MORE of them!
But we DON'T need a hothead, a bully, or an arrogant SOB in the White House who will start WWIII with the Arabs, the Russians or the Chinese just to make a point about how "great" America is again.
Quite frankly, Trump is NOT the "independent" he portrays (or believes) himself to be (even with all his wealth). His "power" will crumble the moment he realizes how beholden he is to The REAL Powers That Be that pull the strings. (He probably already knows this.)
But NO politician can get elected and admit it. Americans do NOT control their government. We are controlled by the Federal Reserve, international bankers and globalist business conglomerates who have "gamed" the system to keep Americans happy (and captive) to serve their ends.
Our monetary system is poised to collapse imminently. It is utterly unsustainable. Within the term of office of the next U.S. president (if he is elected to two terms), ALL our support structures and systems, I believe, will unravel...if not come apart altogether. (They already are!) I do not believe Donald Trump is the man to negotiate America (and the world) through this great crisis. (He's not even talking about it!) I do not think it is in America's best interests to gamble with her fate by placing her trust in a man who has built his wealth, in part, on the back of casinos that went bust!

Then again, America already is bankrupt. What better person to lead U.S. through bankruptcy than one who has strategically bankrupted his own businesses -- amassing a fortune by leaving others to to pay the bills -- four times?
While no man can "save," us, Ted Cruz (in my mind) has what it takes to be president of the United States today.
Sadly, America apparently doesn't deserve him.

No man who seeks for power should be given it.
ReplyDeleteWe can always hope those checks and balances keep holding us up for awhile yet.
ReplyDeleteTed Cruz is too much of a warmonger. War and abortion are the two areas where we are full of the blood and sins of this generation. Republicans had 6 years of full control to do something about abortion with a Sanctity of Life Act, which only got, at most, 5 or 6 co-sponsors, and they also fully supported all of our wars of aggression. Cruz, and also Rubio, Bush, etc. are all at most just more of the same. Trumps willingness to at least talk to Iran and Russia before automatically defaulting to war makes him the only possibility of peace, even though his bombastic pandering could still MAYBE make him just as dangerous as the other candidates, but no way could he be more dangerous, considering the corruption of the current system that all the other candidates support.
