The GOP is very divided, deservedly so. Elected GOP representative think they are part of a production of Animal Farm, turning into the legislators we sent them up there to defeat.
A strong field of GOP contenders set out to gain the nomination. Marco Rubio, Rand Paul and Scott Walker could have easily won my vote. I chose Sen. Ted Cruz, who had a vibrant history of fighting the establishment
However, Donald Trump won the race.
Unlike many, I did not take the #NeverTrump route, which I considered juvenile.
Donald Trump, who no doubt loves America, does not meet many of the principles and positions I as a proud member of the Reagan Revolution champion.
However, as we enter a version of The Fourth Turning, a historical and cyclical period of turmoil which places the continuance of our nation at risk, our nation will require exemplary leadership during this period. As Jim Quinn of The Burning Platform notes in researching The Fourth Turning, "The Grey Champion doesn’t necessarily have to be a good person, but they must lead and display tremendous confidence in their cause and path. Franklin, Lincoln, and FDR have many detractors, but during their Fourth Turnings, they most certainly led, casting aside obstacles (sometimes illegally) and enduring dark days and bleak prospects for success."
In my mind, Donald Trump fits perfectly the characteristics of a Grey Champion.
His opponent?
Hillary Clinton is an arrogant hypocrite, an intellectual progressive operative with disdain for the blue collar working families she professes to support, an individual who dreams of squelching free markets through taxation and regulation championing crony capitalism in support of self promotion and her political advocates all the while welcoming opportunities to abuse power. In no way, shape or form is this an individual we should even remotely consider for our highest office. She is a champion of distortion and failure.
The nation, due in large measure to the progressive policies engaged upon during the Obama administration, is in great peril. Things will worsen, at least in the short term, no matter who wins.
Should Hillary Clinton win, our nation ceases to exist as founded, and freedom and liberty retract measurably as the world enters deeper levels of violence, darkness and despair. Yes, that bad.
Donald Trump offers hope, championing individualism and patriotism. We may not wish the Grey Champion to come, but come he must, and come he will.
He is here, his name is Donald J. Trump, and America desperately needs him to become the 45th President of The United States of America.
