Trumped by abortion

"Now I don't hate Donald Trump. On the contrary, I think he has done much for this country by being a jobs creator."

I watched the replay of the Chris Matthews interview with Donald Trump this morning. And it was painful. After earlier this week with Mr. Trump's answer on what the main functions of the federal government are, he sure did not need this grilling. The easiest answer for Trump to give seemed to be the hardest. He could have looked at Matthews in the eyes and said, "That is a state's rights issue - next question please." But he did not - and it hurt him deeply.

Now I don't hate Donald Trump. On the contrary, I think he has done much for this country by being a jobs creator. But there is a big difference between being a jobs creator and the Commander-in-Chief. Trump continually shows why he is not ready for the big chair. From saying that education is a core function of the federal government, to giving nukes to the Japanese, to saying a woman who has an abortion should be arrested (and the man responsible for her being pregnant should not), he stumbles.

Somebody asked me a few months ago what I thought about Trump. What motivated him to run for President in the first place. Truthfully, it is just the next deal for him. The next venture. Only this is a deal that he is ill equipped for. As tough as he is, when the DNC gets their claws into him (should he be the nominee), it will be brutal.

Some pundit this morning said Trump's knowledge of items of which a President should know, is only an inch deep. Another pundit said that Trump's campaign so far as been the best ever and the worst ever at the same time. With the FBI getting ready to sit down with Hillary, this race could go from crazy to totally out of control. Both the DNC and RNC could end up with brokered conventions and two nominees who are not even on the radar right now.

It is looking more and more likely that Trump is going to lose Wisconsin big time. So what happens after the votes are counted in Wisconsin? Who the heck knows. All I know is this - with the importance of this election, many of us have a knot in our collective stomachs. The one person that I think is qualified and support for President (Senator Ted Cruz), might get caught up in the backwash with all this defugalty. And that would be a shame.
