Before anyone gets crazy – I don’t care who you vote for.<\/p>\n

That’s your choice and no matter who wins I’ll still get a bumper sticker that says, “Don’t blame me, I voted for the other one.”<\/p>\n

\"donald_trump2\"But I’ve been sitting around watching Donald Trump since the first time he said he “might” run for president several years ago.<\/p>\n

Well.
\nLook what happened.<\/p>\n

In my mind he is certifiable crazy.<\/p>\n

It’s up to the professionals to attach a proper label but he seems to fit all the criteria I would use to call someone nuts.<\/p>\n

What’s even more strange, I still can’t figure out why some people are so in love with The Donald.<\/p>\n

Would you put up with someone like this in your real life?
\nOf course not.<\/p>\n

Yeah, politics sucks and it’s been years since I’ve seen or met a politician I could admire.<\/p>\n

In the first place you got to be a bit wacky to submit yourself to that process.<\/p>\n

Secondly you have to be a bit delusional to look in a mirror and believe you are the answer to all the nation’s ills.<\/p>\n

There are lots to be unhappy about in this country.<\/p>\n

We’ve overshot the mark by miles when it comes to political correctness.
\nWe have politicians that see nothing wrong in grabbing all the money they can to get re-elected.
\nWe have people who look at political office as a life-long career when it was never designed to be that.<\/p>\n

Trump speaks to all of that and for some, he is the voice of salvation…he will fix what’s wrong.<\/p>\n

No, he won’t.<\/p>\n

Any reasonable person should know he isn’t going to do much of what he promises.<\/p>\n

Congress has to approve a lot of that and there’s your big red stop sign.<\/p>\n

But the fact he runs off at the mouth and people are lapping it up is bothersome to me.<\/p>\n

\"TrumpTrump’s success, so far, says more about his supporters than it does about him.<\/p>\n

Saying crazy things is not unusual.
\nYou can find those people on many street corners preaching the world is ending.<\/p>\n

Bet you just keep on walking.<\/p>\n

I’m not worried about Trump.
\nI’m worried about the people who love him.<\/p>\n

They\u00a0should be able to see through it.
\nYeah, and Hillary too.<\/p>\n

This election is making me grumpy.<\/p>\n
