R.I.P. for the GOP: Trump is suicide
After watching several of Donald Trump’s rallies on television and listening to a couple of his policy speeches, I finally figured out how Donald will “Make America Great Again.” He truly has a complicated plan. The plan involves supporting the flag, guns, mom and apple pie. That’s it.
But “I’m just being sarcastic.” There’s a lot more Donald is prepared to do. He is prepared to love and admire Vladimir Putin, deport and separate family members of millions of undocumented Mexicans, get rid of those un-American Muslims, alienate NATO, arm Japan and South Korea with nuclear weapons, kill innocent family members of terrorists and use nukes “where necessary” to gain respect for America. Oh, and make fun of a disabled person.
I thought that madmen who aspired to top leadership positions were confined to the trash heap of history or some third-world-nation. I was wrong. Shame on the Republicans who voted for this small-minded and “small-handed” little man.
By nominating Trump for president, the Republican Party has finally committed suicide!
Good riddance, and may the Republican Party rest in peace!
