To all of those in the Republican Party who are now
coming completely unglued over the fact that Donald J. Trump has now become our
presumptive nominee and to those who continue to plot and connive in order to
come up with some way, any way, to prevent him from becoming the party’s
candidate this November, I have but one thing to say. It all could have so easily been avoided.
Because it was back in 2010 only two years after
Barry’s election, an election that many on the left had boldly declared, at the
time, marked the end of the Republican Party as we knew it, the American people
had a different idea, recognizing the direction that Barry sought to take the
country was not the direction that they wished the country to go. Much to the chagrin of those on the left.
Recognizing that displeasure in the American electorate
Republicans promised those voters that if they would provide to them control of
Congress they would then do all in their legislative power to prevent Barry
from doing further damage to the country.
The American people believed them and handed to the Republicans control
of the House while reducing the Democrat majority in the Senate.
And how was it that the American people were repaid
for placing their trust in the Republican Party. By being forced to watch as the House, led by
John Boehner, proceeded to grant every single spending request Barry asked for.
and refused to pull out every stop in an effort to prevent Obamacare from
becoming the ugly reality that it has turned out to be. Promises were broken, the people felt
betrayed.
By the time 2012 arrived, Barry had been slowed very
little. Again the Republicans came before the people and made much the same
promises that were made in 2010. But
this time the voters were skeptical of all the promises being made. And who could blame them. And when the dust settled the Republicans
still controlled House albeit with 8 fewer members and in the Senate their
numbers were reduced by 2.
By 2014 Barry had demonstrated a willingness to use
his phone and his pen to wreak even more havoc.
The Republicans again went to the voters and again promised that if they
could be trusted with control of Congress they would do everything possible to
put a crimp in Barry’s leftist agenda. The voters bought it and provided to the
Republicans control of the Senate and the largest majority in the House since
WW II.
And what did the Republicans do with their newfound
power? The answer to that question also
provides to us with a clue as to why it is that Donald J. Trump has come to be
in the position which he now finds himself.
Because never has a political party squandered so much in so short a
period of time, a mere 18 months, as have the Republicans since assuming
control of Congress. It has been a
continuing fiasco.
If only some of what had been promised had, at
least, even been attempted then in all likelihood Mr. Trump would have long ago
been forced to exist the race. Instead,
the Republicans thought it would be cute to play the voters for fools. Now
their being made to face the consequences.
Trump is essentially their own creation.
And instead of whining about it they should simply accept it and move
on.
