Received this missive via email from a client today — what to say? The magical thinking that Trump will solve their problems, both real and imagined, is mind-blowing. I also like the assertions in the email that it is totally unbiased and applies to Democrats as well as Republicans, yet the point of view is clearly from an Obama/Hillary/immigration reform foe. I would really like a response, which unfortunately I am unlikely to send to my client, but I will fantasize about sending...
I don't know who wrote this, but it is fantastic! This is WHY Trump has such a following.
Many have asked me if I support the Republican party?
Here is a letter someone sent to the RNC. You be the judge.
From the time I was able to vote I voted republican. I am 80 and have a great deal of respect and influence with hundreds of senior ball players who also network with thousands of others around the country.
I received your questionnaire and request for money and strongly agree with every question - as I have ever since Obama was elected. Unfortunately the one question that was missing is “What has the Republicans done for the American people?” We gave you a majority in the House and Senate - and you never listened to us. Now you want our money.
You should be more concerned about our votes, not our money. You are the establishment which means all you want is to save your jobs and line your pockets… Well guess what? “It’s not going to happen” You should shake in your boots when I tell you our movement is for TRUMP and he hasn’t asked for a dime.
You might think we are fools because you feel Trump is on a self-destruct course, but look beyond Washington and listen to the masses.
Nobody has achieved what he has, especially in a state of New York .
If you really want to know how the majority of people feel? And this applies to both Democrats and Republicans, read below, it says it all.
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… You call the city, 4 different exterminators but nobody could handle the job… But there is this one guy, and he guarantees you to get rid of them, so you hire him. You don't care if the guy smells, 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 voted for Obama, 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
Here’s why we want Trump, yes he's a bit of an ass, yes he's an egomaniac, but we don't care. The country is a mess because politicians suck, the Republican Party is two-faced & gutless, and illegals are everywhere. We want it all fixed! We don't care that Trump is crude, we don't care that he insults people, we don't care that he had been friendly with Hillary, we don't care that he has changed positions, we don't care that he's been married 3 times, we don't care that he fights with Megan Kelly and Rosie O'Donnell, we don't care that he doesn't know the name of some Muslin 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 Hasid 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" and Trump is the only guy who seems to understand what the people want.
We're sick of politicians, sick of the Democratic Party, Republican Party, and sick of illegals. We just want this thing fixed. Trump may not be a saint, but he doesn't have lobbyist money supporting and controlling him, and he doesn't have political correctness restraining him. All you know is that he has been very successful, a good negotiator, he has built a lot of things, and he's also not a politician - he's not a cowardly politician.
And he says he'll fix it. And we believe him because he is too much of an egotist to be proven wrong or looked at and called a liar.
Also we don't care if the guy has bad hair.
We just want those raccoons gone – out of our house.
You are welcome to pass this on!
