I've been thinking a lot about just what it is that has people showing up in throngs to see Donald Trump, who is viewed by most as brash and egotistical. It's all about two things, I believe.
The first is the public's belief in his ability to fix things. The people are firmly convinced that regardless of his less than polished presentation, he comes to play and win. The people see him as an action sort of guy. The people believe that Trump would tighten up our immigration policies and stem the flow of foreigners who are sapping our resources and making security difficult if not impossible. The people believe he would do something to rein in the fiasco of ObamaCare with its massive bureaucracy. The people believe he would strengthen our military and care for our veterans. And, the people believe he would command respect from other countries and would negotiate better trade deals to strengthen our economy.
The second is the absolute disdain that the people have for our governmental institutions. We are sick to death of the convoluted, complex, deceitful government and the media that panders to them. We are sick of 11 million words of ObamaCare regulations, sick of being lied to about the true figures on the national debt, immigration, terrorism and just about everything else.
We want a real leader who loves America, respects the taxpayers and speaks the truth even when it is not politically correct. If that is Donald Trump, so be it.
