Fellow Minutemen:
The reason Donald Trump is scoring big with voters is because he is actually talking about issues that have been the source of a national anger for a couple decades now.
Republicans try to talk the talk, but seldom walk the walk when it comes to simply enforcing US immigration laws. Trump also speaks directly to the heart of our lethargic domestic economy and continued high unemployment.
Democrats do absolutely nothing insofar as US immigration law enforcement, as the Democrats (and some Republicans) see the divisiveness created among a multiethnic American society as a good thing for them in their apparent goal to keep our society divided and conquered.
Democrats continue to portray so-called minorities and illegal aliens as relentless victims of a WASP dominated nation, and implore them to support only Democrats if they want to be saved from the so-called white scourge of evil and privilege. How shameful of a political party to foster inter-racial unrest and segregation among us, instead of striving to better represent all Americans and making our nation great Union.
It is high time both major political parties began to address real and obvious issues that have damned the United States in the past few decades, instead of pitting American against American as if we are some kind of chess pieces in a win-or-take-all political game.
Donald Trump has taken the serious high road in the campaign for president. The future of our nation is not a game to Trump, and he has made it clear exactly what he intends to do to fix what ails us if he becomes president.
Finally, a political candidate who speaks right to the voters hearts and minds…not to their fantasies.
