Dear Donald,

    I'm going to miss you when you are gone.... but I don't think you will go quietly, or quickly enough to avoid turning the GOP race into an even bigger circus.   Frankly, I am looking forward to seeing you on the debate stage with the other hopefuls... skewering them with your sharp retorts and insults.... sweating them by making the extreme positions of your party unequivacally clear and demanding a response for the other contenders.   

     I think you are making an important statement about the state of American politics.   We, as Americans, like the brash & outspoken hero who will aggressively attack our enemies.  It scarcely matters if you are being logical, reasonable, or even launching retractions as soon as the words leave your mouth.  We don't care.   We like self-appointed winners who are self-confident to the point of being obnoxious.... and whose depth of understanding of the complexities of the world is nil.    You are the perfect charicature of the modern Republican candidate:   Wealthy, self-important, self-centered.   Committed to protecting your social class from a list of enemies that mostly includes people without wealth & power, but happily courting lower middle class conservatives with hints that they, too, can be rich like you one day.   In the meantime, you believe your wealth is proof positive of your genius.  

      Like the guy who was born on third base and has gone through life claiming he hit a triple.....  Hang in there, Donald.   When the RNC boots you out, I'm looking forward to you going Ross Perot on them.......
