I didn't think a man like Trump could possibly be nominated by either of the major parties. I was wrong.
I didn't think Trump could possibly win the election. Wrong again.
I was a Republican since the first Reagan campaign, 36 years. I left the party when they nominated you. I didn't want to be associated with you in any way. Now, I and my fellow Americans have no choice. You are our president elect. Moreover, you have a Congress dominated by Republicans.
I thought the election day was a sad one for America.
Prove me wrong, please. Bring back those jobs that have gone overseas, like you promised. That one might be tough for a variety of reasons, including low wages in third world nations and automation reducing the number of jobs.
Defeat ISIS. You said you had a way to do that. It shouldn't be all that difficult, as ISIS is already on the run in Iraq at least. I have no idea what to do about Syria, though.
Secure the border. Build a border wall, if you can and if you must, but by all means stop illegal immigration. That one shouldn't be too difficult either, as illegal immigration has slowed to a trickle anyway. Then, get Congress to come up with a practical way to deal with the illegals who are already here.
It would be great if you could pick the Constitution up off of the floor, dust the footprints off of it, and put it back in its rightful place. Let's start with asset forfeiture and giving Congress back the power to declare war.
and above all:
Unite the country, starting with Washington. We are more divided now than at any time with the possible exceptions of the Civil War and the War in Vietnam. It's time to work together. Let's bring the parties together and stop the incessant partisan gamesmanship that has rendered Congress dysfunctional. The other guys aren't evil, after all, they just have a different world view.
Above all, don't get us into another war, please.
Do just those last two, and I for one will be your supporter, which will be a real change.
I'd love to be proven wrong.
at least this time.
