1. The votes decided. He is the GOP nominee, no matter how the GOP leadership feels about it.

2. He's not shaking up the GOP and Democrat power elite. He's just a bully, who thinks he's the world's biggest con man. Reality, is that he's a man-child, and deals with the world, like it's 3rd grade, frozen in time.

3. He keeps getting caught in his lies, but to his support, it's the political elite, or the media's fault, not Trump's. Someone brought up Putin. The fact is, he does not know Putin. He talked big, a while back, about how tight the two of them are, but that's just another Trump story. He's now spinning it. The person who may know Putin, through a third party, is Manafort, his campaign manager, who was an adviser to Ukraine's deposed ex President. Trump may be smarter than Palin, but only by a hair. He did not know that Russian forces are in The Crimea. He tried to backpedal, but only his supporters are willing to believe him (blindly).

4. Veterans patience is running a bit thin with him. Insulting a Gold Star family, saying that he always wanted a Bronze Star (easy, you should have not used your college deferment, and when that ran, you should not have gotten a doctor's note, for a condition that cleared up, just as it was safe for him), inviting Russians to hack into US computers, etc.

5. His childish games, of not endorsing McCain and Ryan, are just that, childish.

6. He did get 13M votes, but that's about 65M-70M votes shy of winning the presidency. I don't think either he, or his supporters have computed this number yet.

7. America, is a good as it can be, given what we've gone through, with the Iraq war, and the financial collapse of 2008. The solution, is not to provide additional tax brakes to Trump. His supporters, don't even get it. Most of them, will not get any benefits, from the elimination of the Estate Tax. Donald Jr, Eric, Ivanka, TIffany, and Baron will. Folks, you don't make enough money, to go over the Estate Tax deduction. If you do, then you should understand, that as a country, we're not in the business of creating Kings. That money can, and should, go toward free education, and reasonable health care. Read the Hillary/Sanders plan. It's on her web site.

Trump has not told the truth once, this campaign, and he's not about to pull out of the race. His ego is much bigger than that, and his brain is not capable of processing anything more complex, than a 3rd grade dispute.

God help us.
