How very appropriate that the Republican caucus is taking place tonight in Nevada. Because if one of these clown candidates somehow get elected, we will certainly be gambling with our future as a country. Trump is an egotistical maniac, Cruz is a religious zealot who confessed in and interview years ago that his goal in life is world domination, and Rubio is a programmed robot who can't function without memorized talking points and is a definitive war hawk. If either he or Cruz gets elected, our country will continue to be in a constant state of war.
I am by no means a supporter of Donald Trump, but if I had to choose between him, Cruz or Rubio, I would rather see Trump in office. Why? Because I think that the Donald has some Democratic ideas and is more progressive than conservative than the other two leading candidates. But I don't think we will have to worry about that happening because I think that American voters are, in most cases, smarter than that.
But it is starting to look like Trump is the likely Republican nominee. If he wins Nevada tonight, the pundits and talking heads say he will be unstoppable. That doesn't mean that Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton wouldn't crush him in the general election this coming November. God help us if they can't! He has been getting about 35% of the votes so far in the Republican caucuses and primary elections so far. The Democratic candidates are receiving around 50% each of the votes. That is a huge margin in favor of the Democrats, and isn't that wonderful? Well it is for me.
Anyway, it will be the most interesting presidential election to watch in decades. I am 65 years old as of this post, and I can't remember any previous election that has been more interesting in my lifetime. I think that if Trump is the Republican nominee, many of the establishment Republican voters may cross over to the Democratic side because they just couldn't stomach Trump as POTUS!
The great thing about all of this being so interesting is that it seems to be getting the attention of many new and young voters. Especially thanks to the campaigns of Bernie Sanders and Donald J. Trump, the anti-establishment candidates in this election cycle. Now that we have garnered the attention of these new voters, we can only hope that they educate themselves by listening to the issues being discussed by the various candidates before going to the polls in November. Vote for whoever you want, but by all means, show up and VOTE!
