It seems like many people, especially the Republicans, want our government to stay as it is — retain the same old cronies, let the sponsors control the government, while they forget about the desires of the people.

The people have been awakened by Donald Trump. They say that President Barack Obama created Trump; however, I believe the Republican Party itself created Trump. The billionaire sponsors are spending millions, maybe billions, trying to knock out the anti-establishment candidate. All the more reason why the people thank God for Donald Trump.

Two-faced Mitt Romney is doing a great job of demonstrating why he couldn’t beat out the worst candidate we have ever put in the presidential race (the United States is nearly $20 trillion dollars in debt), and now he is trying to do in the greatest candidate we have ever put in the race. Again, thank God for Donald Trump.
