In response to Jeff Jacoby's Sunday Boston Globe, August 21, 2016 editorial
"Young voters flee Trump" (linked below) what can I not believe? I cannot believe this
most liberal progressive as I am thinks the nearly always conservative
Jeff Jacoby's snap shot of young voters' response to the Trump-stained
Republican Party is 100% correct. This must be the first time in which I
agree with every sentence of the article Mr. Jacoby wrote. He is spot
on accurate. Trump has been a death wielding cancer on the Republican
Party that showed profound impotence to fund a credible NeverTrump
pharmacological movement to try to eradicate its fatal disease. Now it
has become a genetic mutation whose DNA will be carried from generation
to generation. If a Party loses the youth vote it loses its future.
I
have never supported a Republican for president but I never loathed
Dole, McCain or Romney as much as I do Trump. Trump is an obnoxious
right wing extremist fringe category unto himself. Although I
personally cannot say I was overcome with the vapors for Ronald the
Adored Reagan, a president whom Jeff Jacoby loves, I will admit to the
likeability of the man. He was in one word nice. Nice is not a word
used in the Trumpian dictionary to describe Trump. Rather the words
ugly, miscreant, malevolent, and mendacious to describe Trump come to
mind. The GOP is not and has never been in modernity the Party of Lincoln. That is fabulistic. It does have its nascent roots, however, in the 1968 white racist Independent Party of George Wallace that won the deep south. The Republican Party of red took over from Wallace and happily fostered its fringe. The fact that Mr. Jacoby thinks that Republican Party is gone forever makes this progressive very happy. I can only hope that Jeff Jacoby is correct!
