The other blog---I can't hold it anymore

You know I’ve ignored Donald
Trump for almost long enough, buuut now that he has thrust himself center stage into our celebrity infested(actually I think he's been working on this for maybe thirty years) lifestyle, he, his words and his lifestyle just can't be laughed off anymore. Forget, well maybe just put aside, the fact (yes fact, a word many people don't understand) that he's mainly a con man, deadbeat, draft dodger, blowhard, liar and that his political rantings are basically variations of telling whomever's in front of him at the time what they want to hear. Forget that. The true measure of the man becomes more apparent continuously and no end seems in sight. His abject pronouncements about those in military service, those of a different heritage, those with physical disabilities, the LGBT community,  and of course, with this latest release, his basest, or maybe bedrock would be more suited here, feelings about women. I know some people that think he's the answer and should be elected, and their opinions should be allowed the same merit as all others, buuuut, if he is your standard bearer you have to admit to being(or at least admiring a man who is) a bigot, racist, bully, homophobe and a full-blown misogynist. You know, for a further test of your loyalty, if you happen to know anyone from any of these groups, prove your worth by telling them that you agree with whatever your hoped for leader espouses.
If nothing else, it just seems so sad that a country founded on the idea of...'We the people...' and a country that has become basically a two party face-off, would have one of the parties nominate this waste of space(I'm trying to be civil here) to the highest office, and then act like it's an anomaly. The GOP(that's where I'm registered) has been headed this way since the late 60's when Spiro Agnew attacked the 'radi-libs' and started the philosophy of pointing fingers and telling people that those to which we point are the problem, widening their umbrella to include more and more of the disheartened, but never offering solutions.
  Ahhhh, it's all a mess and we will muddle through regardless, buuuut. this Trump stuff, well, it could get really scary. Good luck.
