Dear GOP Elite, I would like to address the issues that are
going on with this election season. I’m sure by now you have realized that I am
what you call a typical Trump voter. I’m white, blue collar, what you would
call a “low information voter” without a degree from a fancy college, an angry
male, and *gasp* I’m from West
Virginia. Yes in your minds, I am a loser.
Oh wait, that’s not right, I’m not a blue collar worker, I
own my own business, and prior to that I worked for two different Fortune 500
companies as Director of Creative Services. You are right about one thing
though I don’t have a fancy degree, in fact I don’t have a degree. I worked my
way up the ladder to these positions because I was smart and I was willing to
work hard. With both of these company’s I was sitting at my desk at other
companies and received a call asking me to come to work for them. I didn’t even
apply. Oh and one other thing, I’m a
woman. Wow what a loser I must be; even if I didn’t know this I’d have you and
the media to remind me ever day.
Do you know one of the reasons I was successful? I was
honest, trustworthy and my word was my bond. Can you say that? My family was
blue collar; my dad worked 37 years in a steel mill. Do you remember steel
mills? Have any of you ever been in one? Have you seen how hard the employees
work and how tired they are at the end of the day? When was the last time you
needed to change your clothes before you left work? Well you may have needed to
put on a tux because you were going to one of your fancy dinners were you would
pay my month’s salary to eat rubber chicken.
Let’s go back to my word being my bond, (I’m sorry, am I
plagiarizing Michelle Obama?) right because that’s such a unique saying I don’t
believe anyone had ever heard it before she said it. I can tell you a phrase I
had never heard before, ‘for the first time in my life I’m proud of my
country’; really Michelle?
But I digress, my word… Isn’t it ironic that the reason the
17 candidates for the Republican Party were asked to take the pledge was
because of Donald Trump. How could anyone believe that he would become the
nominee? Mr. Trump was the only honest person on the stage that night who said
he may not support the GOP. All of the self-righteous ones proudly raised his
or her hand to show solidarity. What
happened, where did you go?
Let’s see if I can even remember who you are: Ted Cruz, John
Kasich, Jeb Bush, Carly Fiorina, George Pataki, and Lindsey Graham, what
happened? I remember watching the debate, (even though I’m not smart enough to
understand what you talked about) nevertheless I do remember you raising your
hands, I learned that part in first grade, and you said oh yes Bret Baier, I’m for
the nominee no matter who it is… seriously?
At least these gentlemen kept their word, maybe some of them
begrudgingly, but they did keep it: Ben Carson, Chris Christy, Mike Huckabee,
Rick Perry, Scott Walker, Jim Gilmore, Rand Paul, Bobby Jindal, Rick Santorum, and
Marco Rubio, and may I add that Reince Priebus has shown he will fight for the party.
Tonight I heard a very interesting comment from Bill
Bennett, former Secretary of Education under President Reagan, “he (Donald
Trump) doesn’t need to speak to the ‘Never Trumpers’, some of my friends or
maybe former friends who suffer from a terrible case of moral superiority and
put their own vanity and taste above the interest of the country,”
Wow I wish I was smart enough to have said that, especially
to Mitt Romney. May I say that you sir, were not my first or even second choice
during the last election, in spite of that I voted for you because I thought
you would be better than Barack Obama. Now I’m not so sure. I can say the same
about John McCain in 2008, but “at this point what difference does it make?”
This leads me to Hillary Clinton. Apparently being a liar, a
crook, a follower of Saul Alinsky and a devotee of Margaret Sanger make her
more qualified than Trump. I won’t waste your time by going through little
things like Benghazi,
Whitewater, Travelgate, etc., etc. etc… but then again I’m a low information
voter what do I know.
I also heard a well respected pollster talk about how odd
that Trump may lose Utah, is that so Mr. Romney, I wonder how that could
happen? Could it by your influence in the Mormon Church and perhaps a new
candidate, Evan McMullin from Utah
who just happens to be a Mormon? Do you by any chance have something to do with
this? Considering that most of the states have passed the deadline to get ones
name on the ballot you must be really desperate to destroy Trump and get
Hillary into office. My problem is how could anyone on the Republican side want
Hillary as President? Another question for you Mitt ole buddy, where was all
this tenacity during the 2012 election? When did you turn into a fighter? Too
bad we didn’t see any of this during the last cycle, can you say Candy
Crowley??
Well ladies and gentleman I could go on but really what do I
know, I’m just a low information voter from a hillbilly state, it’s a wonder I
can tie my own shoes. But then again, to quote that feisty ‘Coal Miners
Daughter’ “I might be ignorant but I ain’t stupid!” regardless of what you
think of me. My prayer is in the end; Mr. Trump gets the last laugh, you elitists’
snobs.
