The media is having a wonderful day. They think they are influencing the American people and manipulating the system.  They aren’t.  There are plenty of legitimate issues to report on but that is not their way anymore.  Yellow journalism of the past can’t hold a candle to the press of today.

Mr. Trump made a mistake. His mistake did not cost lives as the mistakes of Hillary did.  There is not an adult man on this planet that has not said or heard said the things Mr. Trump said.  As a high school student I heard many times of the conquests of fellow students and, in great detail I might add.  My school was not that different from other schools.  Now these self righteous hypocrites condemn him and deny they were ever around any of this talk.  How absurd and ridiculous.

Troves of sanctimonious Republicans are pulling their support from the Trump campaign.  That’s just an excuse because they didn’t want to support him in the first place and never were true Republicans.  The reason they are pulling back is they feel threatened.  Threatened about losing their power and money train and their total fear of being exposed for the performance they exhibited in the past.  Just possibly their boisterous actions are good for the campaign.  It just may draw more supporters from the masses of average Americans.

What is the plan of Mr. Trump? His actions, if elected, include helping every American of all races and religions.  He will secure our borders.  He will vent so called refugees before allowing entry to our country.  He will create jobs, as he has in the past.  Hillary has never created a job for anyone and has never held a real job.  He will revitalize our inner cities by bringing jobs back to this country.  He will improve our economy by having production of goods and employment.  He will attempt to clean up the welfare system.  He will renegotiate trade pacts that are now in place and improve the American situation in world commerce.  He will not give free college to all that seek it.  Just maybe he will eliminate the ease of acquiring student loans therefore reducing the cost of college for everyone.  The list is long and will be difficult unless we elect people that agree with us and will work with him.

Mr. Trump, with his energy and work habits, will answer that 2:00am phone call, and respond to it. Yes he may use words that many people do not like.  His words will not cause people to die as her actions have.  That is a big difference in the two candidates.

His words are not the end of the world. I have on occasion caught my own children engaged in the actions he was describing.  I counseled them and reprimanded them and life went on.  I have family members that have children out of wedlock and think nothing of it.  I have family members that live on welfare and are proud of it.  Am I happy about all of this and do I condone it?  No I do not.  But life will continue for a few more years for me anyhow.

Instead of criticizing everybody for what they do or did years ago we need to look inside ourselves. It is very easy to be hypocritical about issues that we want to forget we were involved in many years ago.  I have said and done things that I shouldn’t have done or said, and I admit it.  That doesn’t make me proud of it, but it is what it is.  Hillary Clinton has a reputation for lying and being two faced all of her public life and still denying it.  This is not the leadership we need or deserve.

Mr. Trump may not be the most devout Christian you know. He may never qualify as a minister or evangelist.  But he is the most qualified candidate to be the elected leader of the free world.  We can survive four years of Mr. Trump but we cannot survive another four years of what we have had, and probably worse.  Mrs. Clinton can be summed up as a power hungry, self serving socialist that cannot tell the truth or lead a county or state, much less a country to prosperity and safety.

As an afterthought I came up with the following. All of you ladies that are expressing such indignation over the words of Mr. Trump, show me the indignation connected to the 56 million copies of “50 Shades Of Grey” that were purchased in this country.  Have you got remorse for indulging in that literature?  Should you apologize to America for such action?

Mr. Trump won the debate. Now you need to decide who and what you want to lead our country. My choice is made, and I can live with it.
