Why, Donald Trump?

There’s probably something you should know about Donald Trump and his race for president. Trump attracts something no other GOP candidate can claim -- the working class. Those who follow the businessman are not usually conservative evangelicals. Not only does he attract the working class, but they are enthused by him. This is why Donald Trump was never even going to win the Iowa caucus.

In Iowa, many of the people are highly conservative, church-going evangelicals. For these people, Donald Trump does not fit their ideal candidate. He can’t quote scripture, and he doesn’t even know how to say the books right. Most evangelicals want someone who knows his scripture and shares his faith. Fortunately, for Iowans, Ted Cruz, an ultra-conservative, was there to save the day.

Next up for Trump is New Hampshire, which I’m sure will turn out in his favor, since he claims to be a winner. But really, if so many people don’t like Donald, why is he so favored by working class?

First things first, Trump says whatever he wants, whenever he wants. People like that he doesn’t care what the press says or anybody for a matter of fact. He talks foolishly, then thinks. Apparently, he suggests that he could shoot somebody in the street and not lose any voters, but excuse me, but didn’t you just lose the person you shot?

All of his ideas are pretty radical. Most of them won’t even work, I’m sorry but you can’t just deport millions of people. Many people are so fed up with the government that they just want change. The first sign of more than just words, the people are jumping at the chance to take it.

In Trump’s mind, he has a simple answer for everything. Don’t like all the immigrants coming in? Build a wall! Obamacare? Repeal and replace it! Climate change? It’s not real! Trump has a simple solution for all the issues and often they don’t even seem plausible.

He’s not a politician, or so he claims. Trump uses his business as a reason why he’s a better candidate -- he’s not a politician who is just full of words. Although, he seems to use the same words quite well, as compared to his actions, which seem to be a lot quieter.

At first, I thought Mr. Donald J. Trump was just trying to make a statement by running for president -- that if he could do it, couldn’t anybody become the president? But now, several months later and well into his campaign, Trump has shown many sides, one of them leaning towards fascism. In the Iowa caucus, although he didn’t win, Trump still did well. Yet, in the future, other states have primaries in which more of the working class attend and vote. For the unknown future of our country, we best hope that people educate themselves on this man and realize that Mr. Trump is not “making America great again.”
