Only Trump will take on establishment
Why are so many people afraid of Donald Trump? The answer can be summed up in one word: Power. The Establishment is in a frenzy, because for the first time in 55 years, their power is in jeopardy. Their media puppets will stop at nothing to demonize Trump because he is not in their fold.
Fortunately, millions of Republicans and Democrats are not afraid of Trump. They are afraid of politicians who are so incompetent that they put top secret emails on unsecured servers. They are afraid of politicians who put political aspirations above human lives (Benghazi). They are sick and tired of empty political rhetoric, election after election.
They want to at least see an effort to make some changes. If it takes a brash New York billionaire to make it happen, so be it! Terrorism, immigration, and the economy are all issues that need to be addressed. Are any of the Establishment candidates up to the challenge? History shows they are not.
The majority of Trump's supporters are not in step with him on every issue, but they know if things are going to improve, it will occur when someone outside the power circle is in charge.
Like him or not, Trump is a man with a lot of courage. The last president to stand up to the Establishment was JFK from 1960-1963. They will not relinquish power easily. We can only hope and pray that history does not repeat itself.
