Trump is the Candidate for THIS FIGHT!

by Steve Dana

I find it interesting that Republican Senators and Representatives in the Congress known for being moderates are withholding their support for Donald Trump because he isn’t a proven Conservative.

Isn’t that laughable!

In my mind, the only proven Conservative in the primary process is/was Ted Cruz and the same critics that hate Trump hate Ted Cruz’s guts and wouldn’t support a Proven Conservative to save their lives.

Just the other day, President Obama was talking about how Presidential candidates should be qualified in X number of ways.  Ironically, none of the qualifications he ascribes to ideal candidates actually described Barack Obama.  Truth be told, Obama the candidate was probably the least qualified candidate for President in our country’s history.  Talk about an empty resume.

Obama the candidate had zero accomplishments of note at any point in his career from the early days in the private sector as a Community Organizer to the Illinois State Legislature and then to the US Senate.  No accomplishments, even minor; No legislation sponsored or passed at any point in his public service history…including 8 years as President.  Talk about a ZERO.  And this guy is criticizing the slate of Republican candidates and giving us advice on who we should elect next?

When you think about it, career politicians rarely have a record of real accomplishment and even rarer, a record of failure.  Most career politicians thrive on NO ACCOUNTABILITY so voters have no real measure of their actual worth.  Many career politicians are lawyers with few management experiences or skills.  But boy, are they good talkers.

Thomas Edison always said that he is proud of his successes, but he’s most proud of some of his failures since they ultimately led him to the success.  Reminds me of a Will Rogers type quip.  “Show me a man with no failures in his resume and I will show you a man who never tried anything.”

The fact that Donald Trump is not a member of the “In Crowd, The Club, The Congressional Mafia” makes him an Untouchable.  If all he has is business experience with his successes and failures, he isn’t qualified for the job.  Give me a break.

Most of us voters know that Donald Trump isn’t a Conservative but like he said, it’s not the Conservative Party, it’s the Republican Party.  The fact that his stance on some social issues isn’t as conservative as I would like doesn’t mean that he won’t uphold the Constitution better than Obama has or better than Clinton or Sanders would.

Neither McCain nor Romney were ever characterized as Conservatives.  They were moderate Republicans who failed miserably as candidates because they had no back bone.  I guess you could call them Classy Losers.

Recently I heard Dinesh DeSouza speak at the Snohomish County Lincoln Day Dinner and he characterized Democrats as scrappy fighters who came with guns ablazing and Republicans obsessed with fighting by the rules.  Which camp do you think is committed to winning the contest?

I want a candidate fighting for my country like he would if his spouse was held captive by the Taliban.  The heroes we root for are the ones that think and act “outside the box”.  I think most of working class America will see that Trump is the candidate for this fight and ultimately for saving traditional American life.
