I am in a bit of an unusual situation; I am progressive supporting Donald Trump
.. well, sort of anyway. I certainly not sending him money for his campaign, I dont attend his rallies, or visit his website. I didnt even vote for him in our states primary and I will definitely not vote for him in the general election if he makes it that far. So why do I say Im supporting him? Thats because I really want The Donald to win the Republican nomination.
When he first came on the nomination scene I hated him. Brash and totally full of himself, he was insulting someone different every day. He stirred up the hate that lay dormant in too many Americans and brought it raging to the surface. He spoke to their darkest angles, and they answered.
He set up undocumented Mexican immigrates as scapegoats for dissatisfied American workers and made promises that every thinking person knew he couldnt keep. It embarrassed me that the rest of the world could see that someone whose chief communication method was demagoguery was in the running to be President of the United States, and he was doing relatively well.
However, it is said that everything in life has its advantages and its disadvantages. I began to notice that having Trump running for President, and doing well, definitely had its advantages.....
I love to hate Donald Trump
