I have been looking for a place to profess my political views and since I was invited to debate, I will submit the following observation for review, critique and substantive thoughts.
Donald Trump has effectively attacked the “establishment type” of political participants in both the Republican and Democratic Parties. He has successfully vilified and ridiculed them for their lack of accomplishments and their insider type of elite behavior that basically dismisses the voter’s rights and pocket books with their complete indifference to what the voters need and want. Trump has effectively tapped that inner and seething rage within the electorate to some extent and it has catapulted him to a front runner status. There is no denying that he has been brilliant in getting issues to the forefront of the voter’s minds and says things in such a basic and simple way that makes sense to most or all of the silent majority. His style of bringing these feelings and emotions has shaken the political landscape to the core. It has effectively been delivered to ignite the debates we should have as a nation and citizenry. He has taken the steam out of some very prominent and “capable” establishment politicians who only 6 short months ago were being deemed as the presumptive favorites to win the Republican Nomination. The so called media experts were placing the mantles of the next political election for the white House as a Bush vs. Clinton rematch and Whoa what fun that would be to dissect and spin for the 3 month news cycle leading up to the election. Along comes the Donald and all hell has broken loose because he does not play by the media rules and takes them down with direct challenges and confrontations that delight the electorate and educated people in this country who have become tired of the partisan spin and absolute blind eyes to what this country is Really going through with its current President and his lack of leadership. The old adage of “If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s a duck!” has taken a back seat in the world of journalism to “why do they keep picking on poor old Obama?” and never mind the facts, it’s just mean to point them out to the people because they are not smart enough to understand them.
Trump has effectively exposed the dirty world of the alliance that exists within the Democratic Party and the mainstream media for what it is and continues to be towards the American people. For that we as Conservative Constitutionalist Believers in the United States should be grateful and thankful to Trump for getting those facts out and sparking the outrage and fire we need to maintain our efforts to return to some reasonable sense of order and common sense leadership. Now, here is the problem with Trump as President: He is Obama part 2!
WHAAAT are you saying? You may ask or scream. Here is the observations I have witnessed in the past 4 months of this campaign by the Donald and please understand I type these views reluctantly, because I think there is significant substance in what Donald has been able to do as stated in the previous two paragraphs.
OBAMA BEHAVIORS AND TRAITS
1. •Dismissive of anyone who disagrees with him. Trump acts this way as well with other candidates.
2 • Attacks the opponent in a sarcastic tone. Remember his statement to McCain at the so called Health Care conference in D.C? "John, I won the election and that has consequences" (Paraphrase there, but a sarcastic and condescending tone inflection. Look at the tape. Again, Trump does this in such a way as to make the opposing view as unsubstantiated or just stupid.
3. *Name Calling of opponents, shows utter disdain for anyone who opposes his ideas or thoughts and treats them as idiots and false accusations of being "just wrong". See above as it relates to Trump's behavior.
4. •Narcissistic Review the Definition and Trump fits.
5. •Uses the bully pulpit any time (one on one interviews without the tough questions and challenges from compliant reporters.) Trump has been brilliant in creating "Free Buzz" with outrageous cmments that spark debate yet are basic generalities Keep ALL Muslims out is an example)
6. •Came out of nowhere to win. Trump has done the same
7. •Supposedly a refreshing new idea man, yet he was a political genius by not stating them in detail. Generalities were his platform "Hope and Change" Trump has not offered but one substantive policy and so far he has basically stated that "The system stinks" OKAY We need details and he has not provided very much to date.

Now, I have observed many of the same qualities in the Donald as this campaign has unfolded. While as previously stated Donald has been refreshing with his disdain for political correctness his behavior at times mirrors Obama with ridicule and disdain for anyone who may oppose him and he deflects and dismisses his past statements or beliefs when presented to him by either an opponent or a media person who see the presumptive Republican nominee as someone they need to attack with facts(IE Megan Kelly). Calling them "stupid, illogical, mean, incompetent or liars. C'mon, we have been witnessing this type of childish behavior for over 7 years with the current resident. The office and title of President is better than that.
While as I say, I agree in general with Trump on most or all of his OBSERVATIONS and STATEMENTS, theyare not substantive enough to garner my vote because of the way he conducts himself within an intellectual and factual debate of the issues with real solutions you can put your teeth into. The Republican nominee has to be able to provide those REAL workable solutions in order to impress me enough for my vote. Has anyone done that so far you may ask or not care, but so far there has been some good polices offered and possible solutions rendered by some of the other candidates and as of now I am leaning towards Cruz, Fiorina, and possibly Christie. Only because they are also exposing the D.C. cartel and are offering substantive methods to keep the electorate aware and involved in the process of governing for ourselves and getting the political forces out of the way to some extent. Still not 1005 convinced and I am grateful for Trump's exposure of the DC way to the nation, but his behavior is not what we need right now as we have been exposed to it for too long with the current resident of the White House. Just my humble opinion.
