Billionaire Donald Trump has his biggest lead in polls yet with the latest poll showing him with 36 percent, a 20 point lead over Texas Senator Ted Cruz, with both of them being very scary and terrifying, at the thought of either being the Republican Presidential nominee!
Cruz is rapidly rising, despite his extremist right wing views, and the fact that almost no Republican Senator likes or respects him, making it clear that he would have very little support from his own colleagues, were he to be elected President. He consorts with hate mongers and right wing extremists of all kinds, and makes no apologies for it. He is a loose cannon, and again, reminds us so much of his look alike, Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy, of the infamous Red Scare of the 195os!
And then there is Donald Trump, who is crazy, out of control, and has attacked, insulted, and vilified just about everyone, and yet keeps public support in the polls!
What is the list of who Donald Trump has attacked, insulted, and vilified? It includes the following:
Mexicans and Hispanics
African Americans
Muslims
Refugees
Immigrants
Women
Jews
The Disabled
Journalism in general
New York Times
Washington Post
Fellow Republican candidates for the Presidency—Lindsey Graham, Rick Perry, Scott Walker,George Pataki, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Jeb Bush, John Kasich
Senator John McCain and former Governor Mitt Romney, past Presidential candidates
Former President George W. Bush
Bernie Sanders
Hillary Clinton
And the list goes on and on and on, and yet Trump has large audiences hanging on every word and insult, as if the nation has gone totally insane, at least based on his audiences and poll ratings!
Is America about to nominate a “Reality Star” of tremendous egotism and arrogance and narcissism, or a Senator who is disliked by everyone and is much further to the extreme Right than any candidate in the race? And could either Trump or Cruz actually defeat Hillary Clinton eleven months from now?
If so, America is doomed for the long term future in domestic and foreign policy!
