Trump exposed as a con artist
Two former Republican presidential candidates have done something unprecedented and in so doing, have acted as patriots and statesmen.
Mitt Romney has come back into the public sphere and with the backing of Arizona U. S. Senator and war hero John McCain, has exposed Donald Trump as the fraud and con-man that he is, the individual who is absolutely unqualified to occupy any elective office in which knowledge and temperament are required.
As Mr. Romney wisely advised, it was instructive to consider Trump’s response to his speech. As could be expected, the response contained no substance, Trump instead choosing to insult Romney as a failed nominee who ran a poor campaign.
I am not sure how much heft the eloquent and passionate Romney statement will carry with Republican voters who are not concerned about policy matters or the future of our nation this year, instead choosing to cast a protest vote for someone who would blow up the country and the world, perhaps literally.
Thank you, Mitt Romney and John McCain. You tried to save our country. You will always have my respect and you can hold your heads high.
