Now - ours to lose...

"Again, I am a realist. This election would be a lot easier if Trump had not said some strange and often insulting things to other candidates."

Despite some hiccups, the convention actually turned out better than I thought it would. No protests to speak of, no major walk outs, and some very dynamite speeches. I am not going to put lipstick on a pig however - this entire primary season was a mess. Some very hurtful and regrettable things were said. So much so, the repercussions of a couple of them might have caused Ted Cruz to fall on his sword during his convention speech.

Love him or not, Trump is now our guy. We can wallow in the past, relive some of the "ouch" moments of the campaign, or we can move out smartly and help this guy win. Again, I am a realist. This election would be a lot easier if Trump had not said some strange and often insulting things to other candidates. The hurt remained so strong, the Governor of Ohio would not even set foot in the arena during the convention. Shameful.

But now comes the hard part. We need to forgive. And try to forget. It we continue to live in the past, to never let go of the hurts and missteps of the campaign, we will go down in flames. We will lose. After November, our ship of state will be captained by Hillary Clinton. And the list we have now will soon turn into a capsize. 

I don't think many my the brothers and sisters, who refuse to support Donald Trump, realize just how bad a Clinton Presidency would be for our country. It might allow our country to drift into some sort of civil war. And I am not kidding when I say that. The anger is seething right now in America. Freedom loving people are NOT going to put up with another anti-constitutional monarchy for 4 to 8 years. They will not. I will not.

Next week we will get a glimpse of just what the Democrats have in mind for our future. Most of what they propose will be taken directly out of la-la land. Free everything, open borders, co-exist with the people trying to kill us, and a war on our police forces. Plus (as Brit Hume said last night), Democrats will spend four days trying to rip the skin off of Donald Trump.

Here is the nut of the story. This election, which is important beyond comprehension, is ours to win - or ours to lose. You see we too, can peel the skin off of their candidate. And there is quite a bit of skin and warts to peel off. She is THE most flawed candidate in Democratic history. More flawed than Lyndon Johnson. Way, way more. 

We will lose however, if we continue to fight each other. If we continue to treat Trump like he has leprosy. On the other hand, we can take him at his word. He just might "kick the tables over" in Washington. Fix what has been broken for decades. And that is what I am banking on. And that is why this November, I am pulling the lever for Donald J. Trump.
