Donald Trump - Daring to Achieve the Impossible

    Mohammed Ali once said: "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." Some think that it is impossible to reverse the destructive course our government is on now. For a long time now people have given up, believing that they are railroaded into one party or another, where neither represents their issues or concerns but each works together to entrench a bloated and corrupt government that is more and more out-of-touch with ordinary people. People have become convinced that their voice and their votes are meaningless, except to advance a party interest, and thus, to transfer power to a powerful political elite. Is democracy, for all intents and purposes, dead? The individual voter is NOT the party. He is merely the dupe who, in numbers, makes the party possible. Yet the two-party system is the only available option/mechanism for voters to translate their voice into political power. The mechanism is corrupt and self-serving.

    And then Donald Trump enters the race and for once, we hear a candidate who sounds like he really and truly cares about the ACTUAL issues of the decent, hard-working, law-abiding, personally-responsible, family-loving, well-intentioned, country-loving people. I don't think that he is using the rhetoric as a political ploy, which is the tactic of every other politician. I don't even think he thought he was going to be taken seriously as a candidate. I think he genuinely threw his two-cents out there just to say the things that no other politician would say for fear of political suicide. The fact that it resonated with so many people just goes to show that the establishment two party system only cares about its issues and its agenda. And the fact that the GOP for so long tried to find schemes to disenfranchise Trump of the nomination goes to show that the party is not the people. The GOP only embraced him in order to remain politically relevant and to avoid becoming irrelevant.

    So, back to the original question: Is it IMPOSSIBLE to turn this country around? Is is impossible to break the stronghold that the establishment has had on this country for too long? Is it impossible to restore limits and sanity to government and to restore historical institutions and foundations so that prosperity and morality can once again define America and its people?

    Well, "impossible" is a big word but Donald Trump is not a small man. He's never been one to sit still while something needs to be changed or improved. I believe he will find and explore the power to seek change - the change to make America "America" again and to make her great again. I believe he will be the leader that this periled time requires. I believe he is capable of the Impossible.

There may be reason for hope. Regardless of how the media characterizes the firing of Corey Lewandowski, it proves one thing to me. The Donald is not afraid to make a decision and make changes if he perceives that something is not working.

I think it would be refreshing if someone in government was actually fired for lack of results.

The movie Ghost Busters starts with Professors Venkman, Stantz, and Spengler get fired from their university jobs. In horror, Stantz (Dan Akroyd) says to Venkman (Bill Murray):

"I’ve worked in the private sector. They expect results".

Can Trump Keep My vote
It may be best for me to refrain from watching news shows and just bury my head in the sand hoping I can ignore the excesses of both sides in this election.

We are fast approaching the conclusion of the primaries for both parties. The two conventions will select the final nominees. Most people may have made up their minds and those who have not apparently have not been paying attention. I am no different than most. I have made up my mind for now. I will probably be a Trump voter. The biggest question now for me is, How long can I continue with this conclusion in face of the evidence that my choice is based on a total rejection of the other candidate rather than a confident belief in my choice. It is clear to me that Donald Trump does not have the temperament or character that I normally would require in a President. This will not be my first lessor of two evils elections but it will be the first where I have complete disdain for both candidates and only a sliver of hope for our society.

I have never looked for a savior in my choice or presidents. My last fully engaged support for a president was for Ronald Reagan based on a shared philosophy. Unfortunately, the gipper could not turn the ship around from its big government course in spite of his vaunted skills as "The Great Communicator." He had the greatest landslide in our history but could not overcome the entrenched elitist that we have seen fit to keep in office. I am tempted to say we are at a crossroad but that is an obvious cliché since every election is a crossroad including the most local county commissioner all the way up to the presidential election.

Donald has two great challenges in my mind.

First is his need to attract those voters who are upset with our current system but only put a limited amount of effort out to learn the issues at stake. If the country is divided along hard drawn lines at 45% / 45%, then both candidates need to sway the remaining 10%.

Second, Donald has to find a way to keep my personal vote and those like me. He is dangerously close to losing that. He has attracted a very loyal following which in and of itself concerns me about the character of our country.. I sometimes wonder if this is just a show for his own ego. I have used the argument that he is a better choice than Hillary and we should not vote based on visceral emotion. If it were not so important, it would be an interesting drama to watch "The Apprentice" work his magic. But since I never watched that show, I only know the tag line.

Donald You're Fired.

I hope I don't have to use it.
