CRITICAL CONDITION

EXTRA !!!                                 EXTRA !!!                                    EXTRA !!!

Attention…..The Republican Party is alive, but on life support in critical condition. Decisions must be made soon.  Do we unplug all life support or exercise all means available to resuscitate?  The party manipulators must wake up.  The Republican Party is not an association of older, wealthy, white men any longer.  The American people have made a loud announcement.  Four years of a terrible Trump presidency certainly beats thirty days of Hillary or Bernie.

I am so very tired of hearing older, wealthy, white men cry and complain about the candidates of choice. Those blatantly screaming I will never vote for Trump are not, and maybe have never been true republicans or conservatives.  A no vote is a positive vote for the Democrat Party candidate.  This reaction is caused not by concern for this nation but the fear they are losing their power and positions of influence.  They should not fear losing their power, it is now happening.

The most unfortunate result of this primary season has been the ruin of several good people, their reputations, and possibly their futures. It is time to reunite and support the people’s choice.  If it is possible, fences must be mended.  What started as a slate of seventeen candidates for president could have been transferred into a powerful presidency, cabinet and group of advisors.  Many of these candidates have been engaged in personal attacks that may make reconciliation impossible, but we must try.  Forget things that were said and come together.

“NEVER TRUMP” needs to disappear and become “TRUMP NOW.” All that truly cares for and love our country need to support our candidate.  We all, each and everyone have our own baggage we are not proud of.  I don’t know what is included in Mr. Trump’s baggage and wonder, does it matter at this time.  We know his probable opponent has as much if not more than he does.  We need someone to lead our country out of the quagmire it is in.

I earnestly and humbly ask all to go to God at this time seeking his guidance. We must pray that we have not strayed so far from being a Christian nation, that He has not washed his hands of us and our challenges. It can happen.  Ask the Israelites about that little test.
