It seems that
salt-of-the-earth Iowans have seen through the P.T. Barnum act that is Donald
Trump's insurgency and have sensibly chosen a solid conservative, Ted
Cruz, with 28%, a 4-point victory.
The element that has makes one wary of The Donald is his style of
aggressively impugning dissenters. In the glaring example of Fox moderator
Megyn Kelly, it doesn't even rise to that level. Last August, she asked a fair
question during the first Fox debate regarding
Mr. Trump's publicly uttered misogynistic statements. That makes her a good
reporter not Trump's “lightweight, third-rate or bimbo”
as he today claims for not liking her query then. Identical to Mr. Obama's
habitual, thin-skinned petulance, Mr. Trump is making something that is
strictly the business of the political process very personal.
The next leader of the
Free World needs to “keep [his] head when all about [him] are losing
theirs....” A standard enumerated in Rudyard Kipling's poem “If.”
That's a person made of finer stuff, specifically an even temperament who will
honor Constitutional prohibitions. This my-way-or-the-highway form of
governance hasn't worked for the last 7 years—and it will work no better with
another egotist except with a little 'R' by his name.
Still, any Republican is
better than the Democrat/Socialist alternative.
Indeed, the only big house Mrs. Clinton
belongs in has doors that lock people in and is not painted white. Yet,
whomever ends up in the Oval Office should not only speak plainly, but also
respect differing opinions as sacrosanct to a healthily functioning democracy.
That's not the current national front-runner of either political party who
remain Trump and Hillary, a truly iffy scenario for American
voters.
