Stop Bashing Trump, You Fake Republicans

 In a weirdly suicidal move, Republicans are now attacking their one great hope, Donald Trump.

 I'm aware that Donald Trump is not perfect.  In his frankness he can be abrasive.  And lately, his campaign has not been at its most disciplined.  Grouchy, sour grapes "Republicans" have emerged from the woodwork to attack him.  The liberals who control the government propaganda apparatus, education, and most of the media, have come to pile on, distorting Trump's statements and making him appear foolish.

 Donald Trump is under attack because he is not part of the traditional Republican Party political establishment.  However, the traditional Republican Party political establishment has been ineffective at combating Democratic ideas for over a century, and does not deserve to continue steering the party. Trump, by speaking his mind and actually formulating policies designed to benefit the majority of Americans, is a breath of fresh air.  He far more genuinely represents the party's base, and election results, before the Brutus-like knife Trump has gotten in the back in Wisconsin, have proven it. Republicans, like pharisee priests, hate him for it.

I don't want to vote for Ted Cruz, whose campaign lied and said that Trump's and Ben Carson's campaigns had been suspended on the day of the Iowa caucuses.  Kasich seems like an honorable man, but has not done the heavy lifting of generating the name recognition and national exposure needed to take on Hillary Clinton.  Of the remaining Republicans, Trump has the best chance of winning - but Republicans it seems have a bizarre desire to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by trying to either force a Cruz nomination through a - no doubt legal - machination of the delegate selection and convention process, or by running an oddball candidate like William Cristol or Paul Ryan after a brokered convention.  However, Cruz, Cristol, and the rest of the establishment have overseen a regime that brought about the disastrous Affordable Care Act, vast welfare dependency, and the oncoming end of education as we know it with the advent of Common Core.

"Wait," you say, "those are mostly Democratic policies."  Precisely.  The Republican establishment made an Obama presidency possible by foisting ideas that drove George W. Bush's approval ratings below 30%.  In this environment, it was impossible for Republicans to win.  Those same steersmen are still at the helm, although the struggle to regain control continues.

I urge anyone reading this to vote for Donald Trump.  I am aware of his faults. The political process is not always pretty, but our nation is at stake.  Four or eight years of Hillary Clinton will continue our slide into mediocrity, dependency, irrelevancy, malaise, and ultimately, subjugation.
