All Americans should appreciate Trump

Oh boy, has Donald Trump’s candidacy got your editorial board in retreat!

It is so obvious that the editorial board is running with its proverbial “tail between its collective legs” by publishing opinions that call Mr. Trump a “buffoon” and then turn around and call Hillary Clinton “presidential.” I had a good laugh on that one! With all of the lies Hillary has told and her deceit and unavailability to the press, it is obvious to me that she is certainly not presidential!

Mr. Trump is speaking the truth that Mrs. Clinton finds so elusive. And, how refreshing it is to see that several Republicans are now running ahead of her in opinion polls. That must make your editorial staff even more frightened.

It is a long way to the election of 2016 but all Americans should appreciate the revelations that Mr. Trump is now speaking about. What he is saying is long overdue and will possibly wake up those of the citizenry that have been asleep for the past six plus years — your editorial staff included!
