Many of us, who have repeatedly complained about Barack Obama’s transformation of America, have allowed ourselves to be transmogrified. And sadly most of us do not even realize it.
We have selected a lifelong Progressive to carry the banner for the Republican Party. This is a man who has not embraced our values. A significant segment of the party has run after him, taking on his Progressive ideas, his anti-social ethos, and his bad character traits.
I and others, who challenge what amounts to this hostile takeover, are frequently accused of refusing to let go of our idealism and accept the reality of the way things are.
I ask you, Is it idealism, to expect a 70 year old man to not behave like an elementary school child?
Is it idealism, to expect a candidate for president to behave like a decent human being?
Is it idealism, to expect our nominee to be honest?
Is it idealism, to expect our nominee to avoid senseless slander?
Is it idealism, to expect a presidential nominee to put petty personal offenses aside to focus on the task at hand… winning the election?
Is it idealism, to expect a Republican presidential candidate to broaden his support within the camp instead of stirring up more strife and alienation?
Is it idealism, to expect our nominee to refrain from attacking patriots in the House and Senate who have been in the trenches fighting battles for us, while he was practicing crony capitalism and funding our opponents?
Is it idealism, to expect that our nominee would not use his current platform to suggest that the National Enquirer is worthy of a Pulitzer Prize?
I have said repeatedly that my concern with Donald J. Trump begins with who he is as a person. I cannot even get to issues without getting beyond the huge wall of mistrust this man’s erratic behavior has erected.
Tearing down this wall must be the starting place for Mr. Trump if he has any interest in winning the votes of normal people all across our great nation. I suspect there are many others who agree.
Sadly the newly crowned nominee is probably arrogant enough to believe he doesn’t need us. Time will tell. But at this point I have no interest in sharing the responsibility for giving this unapologetically unrepentant man the power he craves. It would not be healthy for him. Nor would it be healthy for our country.

At our church, it is palpable, the numbers of Trump supporters who rile against the rest of us who cannot support him. I will not bow to this man, regardless. I will write in Cruz and vote the rest of the not so great, but at least sane, republicans down ticket. I’d love to see a write in winner like Cruz take the WH. Oh, the fireworks that would ensue. But it would be a battle worth fighting for, anyway!

An Excellent Read!
All your points are right on target, No it is not to much to ask from any who hold our constitutional republic in the highest regard. Yes it is to much to ask for everyone who has succumbed to the will of the progressive liberal democrat/republican socialist party and the newly founded trump party, those whose desire is to hold our Constitution and its established Republic in disregard to the intent of total destruction.
Speaking in the realm of the political, I am of the mind we are being squeezed to point of suffocation between and rock and a hard place, only GOD can set us free. Ultimately in the end of this present world, let us be Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ…
