Waiting For the Rapture, In the White House

THE MORE CONSERVATIVE you are, the greater your chances of rising to the top in the Republican party, the better your chances of getting the nomination to run for president. In other words, the less open minded, the less amenable to other opinions, the better. Its a sort of social sickness. All the republican candidates, except Donald J. Trump, are falling all over themselves trying to convince we the American people that he or she is the very definition of "conservatism". The more conservative, the more "Truly Conservaitve", the better qualified, according to the ideology-mythology, like some weird and twisted test of devotaion to a religious cause. That's a good reason to vote for Trump. He doesn't play that game. Trump rises above, or perhaps is unaware of, the standard mainstream liberal-conservative paradigm, and is perfectly willing to take any stand on any issue, provided he can see benefit to himself in it, in terms of poplar approval. And what, pray tell, is democratic government all about, if not leadership actively seeking popular approval? That's what makes Trump a great politician, a natural. That, plus the fact that he doesn't ever say anything of substance about any issues, and doesn't try to convince everyone what a wonderul Christian he is, unlike certain other sanctimonious republican candidates. Fellow American citizens, we really and truly do not want some super conservative religious fanatic in the White House, waiting for the rapture, like, say, Ted Cruz. We need a good, solid, secular civic minded citizen, someone with a little knowledge of history, political science, and economics. Someone willing to be seen in sweats or bluejeans, someone who embraces science, not religious fanaticism. To be a more devout Christian is not the same thing as being a better person, or a better political leader. To be a devout Christian, an extremely devout Christian, or an extremely devout conservative, is, rather, to be an unbalanced, unhinged fanatic.
