I was reading David Brooks (NYT) editorial earlier today about all the 
bad things Trump is or would be. The thing that jumped out at me if 
Trump is the candidate that voters trust what does that say about the 
rest of the politicians.

The answer may be no farther than 7 years of GOB congressional
obstruction. Listen to the voice of Cruz "I led the fight against..... "
What did he lead the fight for??

A career senate leader stating at the beginning of Obama's first term
that it is his prime job to make sure that Obama a 4 year president.

Jobs have been going away, years and years of promises ignored, wages
have remained static, violence is up and business leaders/employees
salary ratio is an ever larger number.

What has anybody got to lose voting for a Trump who just might not be
more of the same next time?

I am currently in Arizona next Tuesday is primary day. We will get the
popcorn out to watch the show.
