So who will admit it?
Who, in fact, is proud of it?
In Arlington — this blue of blue towns in liberal Massachusetts — who will say they support Donald Trump for president?
And if you take the step to admit you back the bloviating billionaire for the top spot in the free world, will you go further — and tell us why?
As a lifelong Democrat who has voted for every presidential candidate in that party since 1964, I would like to try to fathom the phenomenon that grips the electorate.
“Voters are angry,” pundits tell us. Well, about what exactly?
The public seeks a figure of strength at a moment in history when some perceive the United States as weak or in decline, others offer.
Do you think Trump is the answer? Why do you think that?

How will I know you are a town resident? I have ways of confirming that, admittedly incomplete. On the whole, I have to trust you. If I have doubts, I will email you and ask.

This viewpoint was published Monday, April 11, 2016.
I’m not afraid to voice my support for Trump. Angry, you bet I’m angry ,and I don’t feel anyone else is listening to me. I’m having others opinions shoved down my throat, while mine are being tossed aside. Others preach tolerance yet show none for others who don’t fully embrace whatever the issue is. We’re called racists and bigots which is not what we are. Just because we don’t agree with a lifestyle…doesn’t mean we don’t have a valid opinion. It also doesn’t mean we all can’t live together in harmony. We could agree to disagree period. We’re also done paying for lazy people who don’t want to work, and who would rather live off the system. I’m paying for people to have a better lifestyle than me while I’m out struggling to make ends meet. I’m paying for healthcare that I can’t afford to use, while others are having it scot free on my dime. I know of 5 people doing this that are cheating the system , so it does happen. As far as I’m concerned no systems in place work period, and I am sick of funding them. If people come into this country it should be the legal way- period. Learn the language, get a job , and support yourself. Anybody here illegally should be sent back to where they came from and do it the correct way, and no anchor babies. There should also be a ban on anyone entering the country from a terrorist country until we have a system in place to protect us citizens. You call that racist, I call that smart. America is not great anymore, we are a bankrupt country that does need to be great again. The list goes on and on…I’m not saying he’s perfect or knows everything but I want an outsider in there to look at the issues with a fresh perspective and not be afraid of making unpopular choices because it’s not politically correct. After all, illegal means it’s against the law. If I have to abide by laws so should everyone else.
Anyone but Hillary!
Enough said!
