The following is a piece that has been shared many times on Facebook. I am not sure where it originated, but it's one I feel is worth keeping, sharing, reading and reading again!
When was the last time you could vote for the ideal candidate? I’m old, and I always voted. I can’t remember ever thinking any were ideal. We always have two choices, usually Tweedledee and Tweedledum. If you didn’t vote for Tweedledee you got Tweedledum. That’s the way it is folks.
Now consider this…… An interesting analogy.
You've been on vacation for two weeks, you come home, and your basement is infested with raccoons. Hundreds of rabid, messy, mean, raccoons have overtaken your basement. You want them gone immediately, so you hire a guy. A pro.
You don't care if the guy smells, you need those raccoons gone pronto and he's the guy to do it! You don't care if the guy swears, you don't care if he's an alcoholic, you don't care how many times he's been married, you don't care if he has plumber's crack…you simply want those raccoons gone! You want your problem fixed! He's the guy. He's the best. Period.
That's why Trump…. Yes, he's a bit of an ass. Yes, he's an egomaniac, but you don't care. The country is a mess because politicians are playing games and we are all sick and tired of Tweedledee and Tweedledum choices. The Democrats are killing us, the Republican Party is gutless, liberals don’t have a clue, and illegals are everywhere. You want it all fixed!
You don't care that Trump is crude, you don't care that he insults people, you don't care that he had been friendly with Hillary, you don't care that he's been married 3 times, you don't care that he fights with Megyn Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, you don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslim terrorist,…this country is weak, bankrupt, our enemies are making fun of us, we are being invaded by illegal's, we are becoming a nation of victims where every Tom, Ricardo and Hamid is a special group with special rights to a point where we don’t even recognize the country we were born and raised in; “AND WE JUST WANT IT FIXED”. Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want. You're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, and sick of illegal's. You just want this thing fixed.
Trump may not be a saint, but NO person or company he has EVER done business with has come forward and called him corrupt, or hard to do business with. He doesn’t have lobbyist money holding him, and he doesn’t have political correctness restraining him. All you know is that he has been well educated, seems to have boundless energy, has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's not a cowardly, deceitful, professional, politician. And he says he'll fix it.
You don't care if the guy has bad hair.
You just want those raccoons gone. Out of your house! Now!!!!
SERIOUSLY! Every single complaint I've heard about him has been completely and TOTALLY politically motivated. WHY IS THAT? Because BIG MONEY wants to stay in DC! That's why!
THIS MAY BE WHY HE LEADS THE POLLS.
Lovely analogy! We all feel the same way, but a lot of people are afraid to speak it. PC police always watching. Keep up the fun and interesting blog. By the way, I just watched you on Fox and found you here. I’ll be a consistent reader, even if you are a democrat.
Life long Independent.
Robin, Thank you so much for commenting. And you are right – I am so sick of having to be so PC! I don’t think I can consider myself Republican or Democrat anymore – all I know is this time, I am voting for the PERSON and not the party. Thanks for reading my blog. It’s a place of comfort where I can get thoughts out of my head and where I can write from the heart.
