It continues to interest me how the "Republican Party"
presidential candidates prefer to attack Donald Trump rather than deal with the
issues he raises like immigration.
A lot of people have compared Trump to the play ground bully. You
probably had at least one run in with the playground bully while you were
growing up. You know, threatening, loud and aggressive.
I did.
In the Republican Presidential race, most disappointing has been
Jeb Bush who seems to be trying to dismiss Trump as a joke. The former governor
needs to check the polls.
Marco Rubio ducked recent questions about trump in a Forbes
article: Marco
Rubio Ducks the Donald Trump Question. Trump in turn responded in the CNN
politics Piece: Trump calls out Rubio for being 'weak' on
immigration, praises Cruz
If a potential presidential
candidate can't deal with a personality like Trump how will they deal with a
geo-political bullies like Vladimir Putin, Bashar al-Assad and Kim Jong-un or
even an Angela Merkle for that matter?
Smile and shrug with "no
comment" as their response?
You can't just dismiss
these people because you don't agree with their economic strategy, politics,
ideology or stand on immigration.
The problem with the
abundant crop of Republican presidential candidates is they are all playing to
the Party and Trump is simply playing to the people.
Jeb has 100 million reasons
in the bank why he has to play to the party faithful and most of the other
candidates believe their fate lies with the Party and their fund raising
ability not the people.
Why is Trump so popular
right now? Because the press is talking about where he stands and not how much
money he has raised.
The American people are
hungry for ideas and the courage to back them up, not really good fund raisers.
I think our two Florida
boys are short in both categories.
