Consider this, please. For years Americans who identify as R's have been very loud about wanting the R's to stand up and be the loyal opposition...not D Lite. So far, the GOPe has continued to be lap dogs. Now we finally have someone who is scratching the scab off and getting in the faces of the progs/liberals/etc. Maybe he's not the one we'd prefer, but Trump is certainly not lying down on his back looking for a belly rub from the Ds, Rinos and the MSM. We on the Right have been wanting the gloves off for several decades. Now they are off.
Before any of us pass judgment on The Donald, we need to see what he says and proposes during the real campaign after the conventions. Frankly I'm not interested in what The Donald has been. I'm more interested in what he will be.
As for the notion that he sees himself as some sort of dictator, get real. We have two other bodies of the .fed gov. Maybe they'll start doing their jobs of defending the Constitution if The Donald tries to get frisky and extra-constitutional as Obama has. They'll certainly not be in fear and trembling by doing what we sent them to do as Trump is a white male billionaire. No one should be afraid of picking on him or holding him accountable.
My point is that none of us should be locking in our decisions now. We are getting what we've been asking for. Let's see what happens. No one needs to close up their mind at this point. If you do, maybe you are part of the problem. Deciding to fail to vote or voting for some obscure ideologue because somebody stole your ice cream cone may wind up being what needs to happen. Now is not the time to decide to do that. Man, I've been going back and forth on this almost hourly sometimes. We need to have patience.
Again, who cares what The Donald was. I'm more interested what he will be. We won't know about that unless he wins the election. The Republic has survived many bad elected critters. We can survive a Trump if he turns out to be a stalking horse for more progressivism, but I doubt it. He is a capitalist after all and progs hate capitalism. Maybe he's a sort of statist, but again, we have the congress and the courts to rein him in. For me, give me the unknown. We do know what Hillary will do. For sure we know what Hillary will do and it will not be best for America, period. Who is president is important for many reasons, not just a single issue or a couple of them.
