Trump: Just What the Doctor Ordered

Opinerlog Editorial, Democrat-Chronicle, 08/11/15

I may not care for the guy's style, or lack thereof, but I do like what Trump is doing. He's shaking up the self-absorbed political and media establishment and, hopefully, encouraging more candid, unscripted discussions of the serious issues facing us as a people and a nation. And, who knows: perhaps that's precisely what his intention is, and absolutely nothing more.

No, he won't be president. For me anyway, he's simply not "presidential timber".

That said, his roiling the political stew is precisely what we disengaged, sleep-walking Americans so sorely need. We must be shaken from our collective stupor or accept our fundamental transformation into spineless, politically correct, cowering subjects of the Ruling Class.

In the final analysis, "The Donald" can do no harm, and might actually encourage more Americans to re-focus their attention on the political process, thus averting our current slide toward national suicide.
