I couldn't believe what I saw and heard last night.
Can someone tell me when a POTUS ran for re-election on nothing but hate and anger, and he is? Can someone tell me when Omar or any of the other 4 Congresswomen tossed their hats in the ring for the Democratic nomination? Because listening to him last night, and watching those fools sitting behind him, it sure seems that he's running against them.
That chant? Absolutely horrific. We don't send American citizens "back" anywhere. We don't kick people out of the country because we don't like what they say.
According to the Trump fans, Trump is presiding over the greatest economy ever. According to everyone who supports him, he's given them a better life. And instead of talking about all of that, he gets there and riles up the crowd with comments that are divisive, angry, miserable, mean and filled with hate.
Watching him and those people sitting behind him only affirmed what I already knew. The Republican Party of today is NOT the party I joined in 1980 when we had a candidate running who spoke of making America a great nation, and who inspired me to be a better person and look kindly on those who were less fortunate, and who made me proud to live in the greatest country in the world. In 39 years we went from that to a man who is the complete opposite of everything Reagan stood for and expected of Americans.
If Trump is the face of the new Republican Party, I want no part of it.
