The current Republican front-runner is a misogynist, xenophobe, who insults whole groups of Americans- including some groups to which the other 15 Republican candidates belong. This man wants to kick in doors to deport millions and says whatever he thinks will get him elected- no matter how vile. He panders to racists and lets the sewage of his ideas run out into the open discourse as if it were normal. When his followers pummel a homeless man, he simply brushes it off.
Yet, not one other Republican candidate has come out to confront Mr. Trump. Jeb? sent a sternly worded tweet once and then got spanked and retreated like a whipped dog. But the lot of them are pathetic. There is not one adult or leader among them.
Yet, this is our opposition. About half of American voters will cast a ballot for one of these cowards in November 2016. Perhaps the bile that spews from Trump is a feature and not a bug of the Republican party or maybe the rest of the group are just craven politicians with no moral compass.
Either way, we are going to have defeat the vomit-inducing Trump or the other 15 spineless cowards in 2016.
