It's going to be a long 11 months until the next president of the USA is decided. It's going to be a really long 6 months til the Republican nominee is chosen! If it wasn't evident before yesterday, it certainly is now. Why is that? Well, in my humble opinion, the entry of Sarah Palin into the mix ensures that. I've never been a fan of hers, but after yesterday's announcement of her support of Donald Trump...well, I've moved over to just plain not liking her. She has an almost abrasive way of pushing her ideas. I have to wonder if she was just feeling left out of all the craziness and knew it would be most controversial if she went with Trump. And to say in her speech that "this is going to be fun" sounds like this is some sort of game. Her stepping up for Trump takes that much more credibility away from the Republican party.
Politics is so disappointing. We should be able to look at potential presidential candidates and puzzle over which of these good people would make a great president. Instead, it seems like we're choosing the lesser of the "evils". I can't imagine what our fore fathers would think. I believe as Christians we are called to pray for our president (our leaders). I also think that we are to respect the position. That is becoming more and more challenging as we see all of the possible nominees (Rep. and Dem.) attacking each other. Lord, please bless our country and our president...present and future. Please guide them to the wisdom they will need.
