[Magdalen] Cruz on Trump

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

They will deny it til the cows come home, but the GOP has a major
affliction of the disease called "OhMaGawd, there's a n-gg-r in the White
House!" They have distinguished themselves in inappropriate behavior toward
others, but they have set a new standard of foul and disgusting with The
President. The level of vile behavior is just contemptible. Furthermore,
decent people in the GOP are Our local representative, Chris Gibson, was on
the short list to run for Governor of New York (think Grover Cleveland, TR,
FDR, etc.), and he announced he is leaving politics to teach so he can (all
say it together) "spend more time with his family." COL Gibson (ret.) is,
so far as I can discern, an honorable man who cannot get along without the
support of his party, but is very likely tired of holding his nose every
time he spends time with his colleagues.   It's a shame. We could use good
men like him, conservative or liberal. He was a keeper. You don't get full
bird by merely brown-nosing.

We mourn the lack of qualified candidates, at least from the GOP. I suspect
there are many qualified candidates who would rather be staked to an
anthill than even consider running for president in the present vicious
climate. So we get the dregs, and they are running (stalemating, actually)
the country.

It's high time the sensible folks of all persuasions voted the slime out
and put representatives in who will do the best for the country.  The
United States are a very large robust assortment of entities, but at some
point, we will reach a tipping point where recovery of a respectable,
responsible central government will no longer be possible -- if we do not
take care.
