Yet Trump is<br \/>\nthe only Republican now left in the race who has<br \/>\nthe guts to state the obvious.<\/p>\n<p>That is why many Americans will support him and<br \/>\nwhy many of us who would otherwise find this loud-<br \/>\nmouth, self-serving, son-of-a-bitch unacceptable,<br \/>\ninstead find him a refreshing addition to the current<br \/>\nelection campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Bleeding-heart Bernie won&#8217;t say it. He meekly says<br \/>\nhe voted against the Iraq invasion (YES!) and then<br \/>\ngoes on to support every intervention and abuse of<br \/>\nthe war powers since 2003 along with Hillary Clinton<br \/>\nand a large percentage of the Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Trump also has the cojones to mention 9\/11 and raise<br \/>\nthe possibility for those who reject the official explanation<br \/>\nthat provided the pretext for invading Iraq that we may<br \/>\none day learn the truth of what really happened.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/trump-booed-over-911-comments\/\">http:\/\/www.infowars.com\/trump-booed-over-911-comments\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump also is the only candidate who may reside in the<br \/>\nWhite House next January &#8220;sane&#8221; enough to say anything<br \/>\nencouraging about how to deal with Putin.<\/p>\n<p>The rest, including Sanders, have bought into the<br \/>\nNeocon-inspired demonization of the Russians bringing<br \/>\nus decidedly into a new Cold War and possibly into a<br \/>\nThird World War if things continue down the path we are<br \/>\non in Syria, Ukraine, the South China Sea and elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>So considering how things now stand, I am pleased<br \/>\nwhen someone running for president can boldly take<br \/>\non the leadership of both parties who have mindlessly<br \/>\nsupported these expensive, criminal adventures in<br \/>\nsearch of Pax Americana and full-spectrum dominance.<\/p>\n<p>What an incredible irony that the chauvinistic Trump is<br \/>\nthe only one articulating the kind of &#8220;humble&#8221; foreign policy<br \/>\nthat some folks might remember Bush, Jr. promising us back<br \/>\nin 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Will <em>The Donald<\/em> make the same mistakes and forget his<br \/>\nown promises? Very possibly. But during such dark<br \/>\ntimes, and with so few rays of hope to cling to from this<br \/>\ngroup of political losers, I am open to him somehow<br \/>\nprevailing in this election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-31154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=31154"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31154\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=31154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=31154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=31154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
