The Trump Phenomenon; Time Will Tell

I love what Donald Trump has done for the party.  He has generated interest in the primary process like we've never seen before.   Americans are starving for a strong leader and at the moment Trump is it.  For years, we've wanted to spit in the face of political correctness which has backed us into a corner and defined our thoughts, motives and character.  We see common sense coming from the Trump camp saying the things we've all wanted to say but knew we'd offend someone if we did.  If Donald's not offending someone, give him a few minutes.  When was the right not to be offended added to the Bill of Rights? Instead of being handcuffed by the political process, he would leverage it and use it to his advantage.

Do people like his egocentric bulldog style or do they like what he stands for?  Does he really stand for conservative values? Most conservatives would say no.  As of late we're seeing more cases where the bulldog has become a bigger bully showing blatant disrespect for others.  He's long on pep rallies and short on policy specifics.  Nonetheless, he is a force to be reckoned with and I like the enthusiasm he has generated.

Perhaps if the republican House and Senate would show some backbone, we'd have more confidence that a well mannered conservative president could produce results. Congress has tainted many of us who believed the Republican majority would act with conviction and boldness.  Sadly they have let us down in the worst way.  Are we willing to take that chance on our next president? While most of the republican candidates look strong, right now people are more interested in someone they know will take the bull by the horns regardless of who doesn't like it.  Only time will tell if conservatives will stay true to their roots or bank on the bulldog.
