The bottom line to me is that America has lost its leadership edge. I look at the last few presidents, and leadership wise they just don't match up or scream leadership.

I look at the GOP candidates, and I'm amazed when I think that if they had a half way decent leader that had a rational independent streak that we wouldn't be talking about Trump as anything but a crazy fringe candidate.

I look at the Democratic leadership race, and I think the field is terrible. At some point Hillary was pretty much crowned by the party, and anyone out there that is good is sitting on the sidelines because the party isn't going to get behind them, they're going to push the anointed one. And Hillary is terrible, and slimy,

What used to make America strong was that it had strong leadership aspects in its educational systems and strong leadership as part of its military training. So you got presidential that were smart, and tough, and came through the system ready made to fight for mantles.

Now instead we get platitudes and the selling of buzz phrases, and ineffectual leaders with a lack of vision.

America remains strong because it has a good military and economic structure that would take a loooong time to collapse on itself. But they've been a rudderless boat for a while now.

And Trump running as a independent Presidential Candidate is a nightmare for the GOP, a right wing split vote ensures another Democratic President.
