Trump has done the unthinkable. He challenged John McCain’s heroism; his denouncement of Hispanics and Muslims incurred an unexpected result when he won the Hispanic vote in Nevada; he has been challenged regarding his ‘Christianity;’ and he committed the ultimate sin when he challenged the Bush family and the media as he told the truth about Bush, Cheney, and the events of 9/11, as well as the Iraqi invasion. Nothing appears to harm his ambition to become the Republican nominee for the presidency in July.

Republican ‘leadership’ is angry and in disarray. They believed that attacking Hillary Clinton would be the focus to the 2016 campaign season, but now Trump has disrupted the entire party and its efforts to select their chosen nominee for the November election.

I do not understand why the major media is not reporting the truth about this election year. Republican voters hate what has happened to their party in the last seven years. It has no values and no ideas. Support of Trump is a direct and definitive statement that they no longer want politicians who serve themselves and not the people.

Trump has destroyed his opponents in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada, and leads in eight of the eleven states on Super Tuesday. He is only a few points behind Ted Cruz in Texas, and is 16 points ahead of Marco Rubio in the March 15^th Florida primary.

I watched the beginning of the Republican ‘debate’ in Texas tonight. I have seen more intelligent and less vile people on the “Real Housewives of New Jersey.” Of course I’m being facetious; I would never watch another reality show. I have watched the first nine GOP debates and they were the ugliest reality shows of all.

For the 15 minutes I tried to watch the debacle, it was obvious that none of the others could stand up to Donald Trump. It appears that Cruz and Rubio received their degrees from a cereal box. The lack of intellect on the center stage of the three ring circus was embarrassing for the American public. Could any clear thinking person consider any of these men as the leader of the free world? What a frightening thought.

There was a great deal of hyperbole, but no substance. There was also a great deal of ignorance as reality left the building in the first five minutes.

Trump will win the Republican nomination, and not because he is the best candidate, he is the least dangerous to our nation’s people.

Trump is more hot air than substance. He does not have to answer for the destructive efforts of Cruz and Rubio. He would be a horrible president, but far superior to his opponents. The two TEA Party darlings, and the Republican leadership believe that voters are ignorant and that they have been totally deceived by the tactics of fear and a pattern of continual lies; they are obviously mistaken.
