A Sign of the Times, Support for Trump Explodes - Nathan McDonald

March 3, 2016

The unthinkable has happened: Donald Trump is now the GOP front-runner for the Republican Party. Not only that, but he is expected to win the whole kit and caboodle.

The growing wave of Trump support has caught both Democrats and Republicans off guard. Left-leaning journalists expected his campaign to be over after a few short months, assuming it was only a media stunt and nothing more.

Others assumed that his loud-mouth antics and bluntness would sink him, time and time again, as he committed apparent political suicide.

Yet, despite all odds, not only has he survived, but he has thrived. The current political climate and the amount of people flocking to Trump’s banner shows just how crazy the world has become, and just how bad the current state of the US economy is.

The people of the United States appear to be ready for the truth. They seem to be finally ready to hear what needs to be heard, and Trump doesn't mind saying it, no matter how brass it can be, as he has shown more than once.

His victory is so assured that bookies have begun paying out bets early, stating that it is a "foregone" conclusion and that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee. It does appear that way, after the outstanding victories his party experienced on Super Tuesday.

It is unclear whether or not this momentum will carry forward, and whether or not he will have the staying power to defeat Hilary Clinton, who is an open socialist and will undoubtedly keep the Ponzi scheme that is fiat money running for as long as she possibly can.

The actions Donald Trump is calling for are drastic indeed, and not everyone agrees with everything he has to say, including myself. However, drastic times call for drastic actions and we have not seen a politician that is willing to step out onto the edge and do what needs to be done in a very long time. According to what he has to say, he may be the one man who doesn't mind stepping out onto that edge.

This scares many Americans. Search results for "How to move to Canada" have spiked over 1000% since Trump’s victories on Super Tuesday, and will likely continue to increase as the week goes on. Many are afraid of change, especially when that change involves a fundamental shift in an entire country and an economy.

Yet, is what Donald Trump is calling for really anything new? Not entirely, but it is rather a return to what made America the envy of the world for nearly a century: hard work, pride, liberty, patriotism, and a return to fundamentals. I ask, what's so wrong with that?
