Time for GOP challengers to step up

What are the Republican presidential primary candidates waiting for?

Many good candidates have dropped out because they are afraid to stand up to Donald Trump. Lacking in courage, the dropouts include Mitt Romney, Rand Paul, Mario Rubio, Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan. These where all good presidential candidates in 2016 but we decided to go with someone else who is a narcissist and was never qualified to lead our nation.

The only good candidate that has not dropped out and is still considering if he will run for president is John Kasich, and I believe if he runs he has a very good chance to beat Trump in the primary.

Time for the Republican Party to step up. Donald Trump is destroying the Republican Party. He has divided this nation like never before. His anti-immigrant populist movement has spread fear of people of color and has grown to hatred by some.

The Republican Party is becoming the Racist Party, not the Conservative party. He constantly lies and creates falsehoods. He exaggerates everything that he alone has done. Our $22 trillion national debt is out of control due to his tax cuts. Interest alone on our national Debt for the fiscal year 2020 is expected to be $479 billion. This will be 10% of our national budget. Don't pay it off, just pass it on to the next generation, so he can get elected again.

It's time for a change. We need someone who we can believe in who is honest and has integrity and who is a fiscally conservative Republican.
