The Old Gas Bag lost me at "Read My Lips!"
I knew way back when that GHW was no RR, but gave him a chance after
reading his lips. When he then turned around and caved, well, lets just say like sufficient others I did not connect the broken arrow pointing to his name at the polls that next election.
Again evidence that the man (if it is true) loves the US more than he loves the republican party and knows that his party has gone down a dark path where his party does not belong but has been nudged down that road by forces in that party which has made it choose an orange colored tyrant.
Actually Trump is shining a bright light on many of the dark paths that the establishments of both parties have already taken the country down. There may just be enough of us that know and understand just how great a force in the world that the US has been... and can remain if we hold true to our values and heritage.
I would say he, to me, was one of the most implausible of correct messengers, but here he is saying what needs be said. Unlike the Hildebeast and before her, Obama, he does not pick certain groups to champion over others, he does not divide us into warring camps unless those camps have allowed their followers to declare war upon us. He is not for a hyphenated greatness, he calls for making all America and all Americans what we can all be, together... great again.
And that strikes a chord with many. Unlike the hope and change message, he doesn't want us to change into a vision we now know is not truly the American way, but to get us more on track with what we have been in the past, a generally tolerant and improving force for good in an imperfect world.
That may not appeal to a Dutch guy, though I know a Dutch guy here in Panama that it does, who before that was an adherent of Ron Paul. Good thing is, you have no vote, so no real say in the matter except peripherally.
Europeans really need to concentrate a bit more on getting their own ships of state in order. Hip hip to Brexit.
