Dear Mr. Trump,
I wish to thank you for gathering the courage to
apologize for the lewd comments against Nancy O'Dell. Despite the skepticism
regarding the sincerity of your apology, taking responsibility for your
reckless and unfortunate comment was the noble thing to do.
Mr. Trump, I must concur with you that Washington is
broken. The recent renouncement of your candidacy by fellow Republicans speak
to the core of why we cannot trust the political establishment that runs
Washington. These career politicians that are now retracting their endorsement
of you have proven that expediency drives Washington. The Republican
establishment did not approve your candidacy from the inception of this
election and had traversed every avenue to undermine you. This latest incident
granted them a golden opportunity to accomplish their mission.
I also wish to caution you to be watchful of your
running mate Governor Mike Pense. Mike
does not have your back. He is the Julius Iscariot that will betray you at any
given moment. The last presidential debate revealed his pretentious
characteristic. He represents the GOP political oligarchy that is exploiting
every opportunity to undermine your candidacy.
Mr. Trump, you are now the voice of the Republican
Party with the mandate of the electorates. Do not allow anybody to take that away
from you. Millions of your supporters including those who are now renouncing
you agreed when you called Mexicans rapists and murderers. They applauded when
you called for barring Muslims from entering the United States and incited
violence at your rallies.
When you publicly mocked a disabled journalist,
retweeted anti-Semitic memes, attack a Gold Star Family, insulted the press and
railed against their constitutional rights, they did not find those comments
despicable. In fact, most of them always knew of your history of misogyny and
lies on issues big and small but still supported you because it was expedient
for them. They refused to make you release your taxes even though in the last
40 years every presidential candidate has done so; now they want you removed
over a decade old incident. They should have known that you were a celebrity
when you were nominated.
Mr. Trump, even though I am opposed to everything
you stand for; I do respect the fact that you have exposed the dark underbelly
of America. The world now knows that we are a country where many still believe
that it okay to demean women and make unabashedly racist comments against
minorities. Sadly, you have made too much progress to turn back.
I do not expect you do redeem yourself during
tonight's debate because Hillary Clinton is more experience and has spent a
lifetime preparing to become President. However, you have the mandate of the
Republican electorates; they will continue to support you despite comments from
the Republican oligarchy. You are the rock star of the Republican Party.
Good
Luck...
Sincerely,
Concern Americans
