I'm watching the fierce South Carolina primary contest among the six remaining candidates for POTUS and a few things strike me as astounding.
The first is that all the seasoned politicians on stage – Governors Bush and Kasich, Senators Cruz and Rubio – have been relegated to straggler status by the non-politician in the race, billionaire businessman Donald Trump. (Dr. Ben Carson, the other non-politician, is hanging in there but not lighting any fires).
Second is that only Mr. Trump is raising the biggest issues facing our country, among them:
- Closing our borders, which are being flooded with un-vetted illegal aliens who number, by now, into the millions
- Bringing both corporations and jobs back to America
- Fixing our Mt. Kilimanjaro of debt and Mt. Everest of unemployment
- Strengthening our military






An election for President and Commander in Chief of the Military must strive to be above reproach. Our public institutions must give the public confidence that a presidential candidate has complied with the election process that is prescribed by our Constitution and laws. It is only after a presidential candidate satisfies the rules of such a process that he/she can expect members of the public, regardless of their party affiliations, to give him/her the respect that the Office of President so much deserves.
