Somehow I couldn't. Should've, but couldn't. I wanted to see and hear for myself what this candidate represented.<br /><br /> I almost never comment politically, because I feel that other people have their personal reasons for voting for the candidate of their choice, just as I do; and often these days, if one voices their political opinions, it is taken as a personal attack. I'm not personally attacking those voting for Mr. Trump.<br /><br />I watched and listened to the candidate. What is being reported isn't exaggerated. Made me wonder how many more classifications of people will be added to his list of "bad" people before it is all over. <br /><br />As the cameras showed people in the audience, I wondered how those people could not realize that if by some strange circumstance the candidate would pass them on the street, he would immediately judge and categorize them by their appearance as "disgusting", "crazy", "fat pigs", "low energy", "illegal"(even if their family had been here for generations), or if the passerby was physically challenged in some way, maybe they would be mocked, or if the passerby was a young woman, deemed attractive, a "nice piece of ass". <br /><br />It terrifies me to think of someone so impulsive, who doesn't seem to consider the possible outcomes before he speaks or acts, being the Commander-In-Chief. My son is serving in the military right now. So this candidate's reckless ways are personal for me. And I am worried.<br /><br />Very worried.<br />susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4863417462909147257.post-11941530777223369362016-07-22T08:13:48.881-07:002016-07-22T08:13:48.881-07:00Sadly, you are so right.

But I have been zealously listening to him, forcing myself to stick it out to the bitter end of whatever speech or interview is making the rounds regardless of how nauseated I become.

This is happening around the world, the leaning towards protectionism and xenophobia.

I think I was even more disturbed by the looks on the faces of the audience than his endless loop of malfeasance.<br />I'm so sorry that you have people in your world who have been sucked in by this, what a terrible thing to have to wrestle with.<br />"The perennial good that's buried under the surface", there are a whole lot of people in our life's that know that good. Best to stick close to them.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.com
