Too much focus on Trump

Sat., Aug. 22, 2015

The Democrats have totally lost touch with reality, so our only hope is the Republicans. They have many good candidates who would make a good president.

Too much attention is being put on Donald Trump. He does seem to have some clout. Anyone who is willing to use what clout he has to threaten that, if they don’t make him their nominee, he will start a third party that will ruin their chances, is not someone we want to be president.

Let him go his way. If he starts a third party, no one should vote for him.
