Why its time for a Trump revolution
http://nypost.com/2016/03/19/why-its-time-for-a-trump-revolution/My friends are worried about me. They insist something is not right and suggest prayer, counseling, even rehab. Take a break, they urge. Get away for a few days and clear your head.
They are wise and kind, and it would be foolish to dismiss their concerns. T***h be told, there are moments when I doubt myself. Am I making a huge mistake? Am I losing my mind?
Perhaps I am. My friends say thats the only possible explanation for the fact that I might support Donald Trump for president.
The insanity defense is all thats left now that the smart set has declared that its immoral and indecent to even think about v****g for Trump. OK, call me immoral and indecent as well as crazy, because Im thinking about it.
Its been a long road to get here. When Trumps name first popped up, I joked about moving to Canada. When he launched his campaign, I cursed him, certain he was going to create a circus just when Republicans finally had a strong field of candidates.
I was intrigued by many of them, starting with Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, John Kasich, Scott Walker and Jeb Bush. Others I admired while believing they wouldnt get far Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson, Lindsey Graham, George Pataki and Carly Fiorina.
I like those Republicans even though Im a registered Democrat, just not that kind of Democrat. I v**ed for President Obama in 2008, believing he meant it when he said no red states, no blue states, only the United States. The barrier he broke added to his appeal.
Six months later, I was off the bus. It was already clear Obama had no intention of building a consensus on anything, although few realized he would be such a radical and partisan polarizer. He may love America, but doesnt seem to like actual Americans. Other than himself, of course.
With the world on fire thanks to his abdication of global leadership, and with the home front nervous and angry, the 2016 race couldnt come soon enough. I hoped a Democrat would emerge who realized that Obama had set us on a course that was dangerous and unsustainable, with our national debt exceeding $18 trillion.
