Opinion: Trump confuses sanity with weakness

A good portion of the crowd at the RedState Gathering were probably upset that Donald Trump’s invitation was revoked over comments made about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, but they really shouldn’t be. Their candidate of choice has been making the types of mistakes over the years that make Joe Biden seem like a calculating verbal mastermind.

In a Tweet, Trump calls the decision to exclude him from the event a sign of “weakness” and said that political correctness was killing the country.

He is incorrect. Stupidity is killing this country. Complacency is killing this country. A willingness of the ignorant to follow Trump and root him on to lead the GOP nomination polls is killing this country. Donald Trump is not an honest guy who speaks his mind like many of his supporters are billing him. He’s a buffoon who doesn’t know the difference between political correctness and common human decency.

His rise was predictable. The right has needed someone to champion their causes and Trump came out swinging with bold speak that wasn’t normal for politicians. However, he is not someone who can lead the country back to greatness. He is a distraction who is helping the Democrats by taking attention away from their own foibles while damaging good candidates who can actually make a difference.

For the first time in decades, the Republican party has a handful of solid candidates mixed into the field. Some of the candidates are better than anyone the party has put up since Reagan. Trump is destroying this.

RedState’s decision to exclude him from their event was the most sane decision that the gathering could have made. His novelty will wear off. The only hope of conservatives is that it wears off before he can do permanent damage the GOP’s chances of getting back the White House.
