And Then There Was One

The one being Donald Trump after Senator Cruz suspended his campaign tonight. And why should he? After his rant today calling The Donald a lair, a serial philanderer, kook and other things, I'm glad he's gone. He stooped to what he was accusing Trump of. And it didn't work.

Now Mr. Trump can get onto the business of defeating Hillary Clinton in the generals. I affectionately refer to Secretary Clinton as the Hildabeast. I heard that on Rush Limbaugh's show. It's a good thing I wasn't driving. I would have crashed my car laughing so hard.

It started, what seemed about 10 years ago, with 17 contenders for the Republican nomination. Except for Mr. Trump, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, all were long time politicos. Early on these three were at the top of the polls. That should have told the party something. It didn't. Throughout the entire campaign the "establishment" has been bashing Mr. Trump. I loved it. I'm glad someone who isn't beholden the "system" has finally made an impact on the political process.

Mr.Trump wasn't my first choice, Scott Walker was. I think he was the first to drop out. Time to find someone else. I then thought Marco Rubio would be a good choice. He couldn't handle the pressure. That was obvious early on. The only logical choice after that was Donald Trump.

Here's a self made man that is financing his own campaign and owes allegiance to no one. He said some things that made me cringe. But what I liked is that he didn't apologize, didn't back down, doubled down and stood up to those that called him names and said he didn't belong.

Mr. Trump is a strong supporter of the military and law enforcement. I like that too since I've served in the army and am still a police officer. I don't think that Mr. Trump will allow terrorist, foreign or domestic, to run amok in this country. Our incumbent sure did.

Maybe once he's elected, he'll run this country like a business. I don't expect the government to make a profit, but certainly not operate at the losses it has. I believe he can bring jobs back to America. Put our people back to work and get them off welfare and food stamps. Those that want to work anyways.

We'll see what happens, but I think I'm right. How about you?
