I call myself a "Centrist" when it comes to politics. I don't lay claim to being either a Democrat or a Republican. I always vote for the man or woman that I feel is most qualified for the office regardless of party affiliation. I did not vote for Donald Trump in the past Presidential election and I do not feel that he is qualified to be Commander in Chief of our great Nation.
Although there are many crying "Impeach Him Now" when he has only been in office for a month, he squarely won the election. Many, many Americans support now President Trump and I respect that fact. Accordingly, I feel that he deserves more time to organize his administration. Perhaps, given some more time, he will develop a better understanding of what it means to be the Leader of the greatest Nation on earth.
OK, that is my most positive take on the POTUS as I see it today, now let's discuss the dilemma that has me very, very concerned regarding what may come our way in the future. POTUS has surrounded himself with some of the scariest people I can think of as his advisors. I only need to name one in order to scare the hell out of you; Breitbart Bannon, AKA Steve Bannon, Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to the President. He is a verifiable Alt Right (far right) hater and his stated primary goal is to shut down mainstream media outlets. If that does not scare you, then I don't know what will.
Where has the Republican delegation disappeared to? Surely they know who has been elected as POTUS. Surely they must realize that they now own him, and that they own whatever damage he inflicts on our great Nation. The NEVER TRUMP movement was driven primarily by Republicans and, in particular, by conservative Republicans. Where are these Politicos hiding out now? Why are they silent?
Lord how I wish John McCain was our newly elected President! I have the utmost respect for that man (although I will avoid discussing Sarah Palin here). Dreaming aside, I just can't imagine what the state of our Nation will be four years from now under the current Administration. All I can say is that we will not go quietly.
