An Ounce of Logic

     I spent the last week in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  A class reunion, a big one.  More on that in the future.  But, this is more important.  A woman who has had many years to know herself and distill her views gave this to me.  It’s been around the internet a time or two, yet it bears repeating.  -BE

Someone asked a woman how she could vote for Trump, a “misogynist, a racist and a bigot”.  Here is her answer: 

• Because I use my head to research and find out what candidates really are, not what the media wants me to think.
• Because Donald Trump has more women in executive and managerial positions than any comparable company, which tells me he is not a misogynist.
• Because he pays these women the same or more than their male counterparts, which tells me that he looks for capacity and skills in people, not color, gender or race.
• Because he fought the West Palm Beach City Council to be able to open his newly purchased club, so he could include blacks and Jews as members, who had been banned until then. This tells me he is not a racist.
• Because he has raised wonderful children who are accomplished, hard working and compassionate adults. He must be doing something right.
• Because his economic plans makes sense, are conservative in nature, and I vote based onwhat is best for my family, my friends and my country.
• Because everybody, the left and the right, are afraid of him, the media is trying to destroy his image, and even foreign governments are voicing their opinions, so he must be doing something right. Clean house maybe?
• Because I want a Supreme Court that will uphold the Constitution, not behave as minions of the administration.  I have had enough with judges who are more like political activists than law enforcers.   
• Because I fear for my family’s safety if the current trend of not confronting blatant terrorism continues – which is a threat to our way of life.
• Because I am fed up with the rampant corruption of this administration.  Accountability in government is paramount, and as this administration has demonstrated, it is a foreign concept to them.
• Because I am fed up with political correctness gone wild, and because Trump is not afraid to say what everybody thinks but does not dare to say. A thug is a thug, regardless of color, and that’s it.
• Because it is about time someone puts America’s interests ahead of other countries.
• Because I know he recognizes and embraces America’s exceptionalism, and will not tour the World apologizing for who we are. That tells me he is a patriot.
• Because, unlike HRC, he has actually held a job, worked hard and achieved success.
• And last, but not least, because I am more offended by what Hillary does than by what Trump says.
