First, it is the record of the candidate. What have they done and what have they fought for up to now? Second, is the candidate constitutionally sound? To re-make America apart from her foundations is the equivalent of dismantling America – witness Barack Obama.

Donald Trump is a sorry excuse for a Republican…but the leadership of the Republican Party is so utterly pathetic right now, average Americans are mistaking Donald Trump for the kind of principled leader the GOP used to be known for.

Perhaps what the party’s establishment fears the most, then, is that either as a Republican or an Independent, Trump could actually win. And they can’t control him.

In the 60s we used to laugh about the Soviet Union “elections,” because there was no real opposition candidate for the Russian people, only acceptable Communist Party minions. It’s not so funny now that we’re part of the same charade.

If Ted Cruz continues to gain traction he may very well become bigger than the party (he may already have!). And what has the GOP ever done for us? The Chris McDaniel fiasco is a prime example of their priorities!

Donald Trump’s cockiness has brought him to the top of the endless polls as the candidate with the toughest rhetoric against everything the leftists, liberals and lawless bunch think is peachy keen. But, is it anything more than rhetoric?

The GOP has a big dilemma. Will it continue to cede center stage to an egomaniacal blowhard who deflects serious questions with hollow rhetoric and attacks his critics with insults and hyperbole, or will it have the temerity to end this embarrassing sideshow at the risk of alienating Trump’s sizable support base? While this may seem an easy choice, politics is rarely a simple affair.

When Trump was firing people, putting American beauties on parade and putting money in the Clinton Foundation, others were fighting for the nation. Where was Trump when Ted Cruz battled on the Senate floor for twenty one hours in 2013 to stop Obamacare? Where was trump when Scott Walker took on the unions against all odds in Wisconsin? Where was the Donald when Jeb Bush lifted his state to become one of the greatest fiscal success stories of the decade?

Unfortunately, the circus that Donald Trump has created around Fox News commentator Megyn Kelly and her allegedly “unfair” question to him in the Republican debate has drowned out the central importance of that “unfair” question.

While everyone has focused on a Trump tweet and Fox News’ Megyn Kelly in post-Kardashian America, here are a few things that you might have missed.
