Although Trump was a clownish sensationalist, I have no choice but to lament his withdrawl from the race. His absence means we must endure yet another presidential term with no Citizen-American in the White House.
Our founders did not intend for us to be governed by a "political class". Yet that's all we have in the federal government any more: professional politicians who have no idea what it's like to live in the real world. Trump may be a blowhard, a real estate pillager, and a greedy opportunist, but we desperately need to break the hold of the politicos on our country. If a Trump presidency could have done that, then I would have supported him. It's not like anyone else could do better. Washington is morbidly obese. It's a cancer-ridden diabetic that needs constant injections of our money just to keep itself afloat. Lucky for them, they can take all they want from us since they make the laws and punish whomever they want.
