First and foremost. I'm a dreamer.

Indeed, it’s hard for me to fathom. But as a political liberal. If I had to endure a Republican in the White House. Better it be Donald Trump. Rather than the bevy of other potential closed-minded Republican aspirants for the job. Yes, it comes down to triumphal Trump being the lesser of the evils. Fortunately, I’ll have another choice. The Democratic nominee. Still, there’s no guarantee that I will have my way. But as a liberal and a political realist. I know full well. That more often than not, I don't come close to getting my most fervent wish. I’ve suffered and agonized mightily through conservative Republican administrations. Knowing full well. That I have no control over the political  fates. What will be, will be. Sometimes, I pray for only the lesser of the evils. After all, the state of American politic is inherently evil. Political goodness isn’t an option. Therefore, if it has to be a Republican president, give me Trump. Because the guy doesn’t fully know what he's doing. Or what he truly believes. He’s basically empty-headed.  A shallow intellect. But like virtually every politician, he has a gigantic ego. He’d want to be known as a successful  president. Which means. He’d probably  work with both liberals and conservatives. For the sake of getting things done.  He’s truly business-oriented. A robotic pragmatist  A deal-maker. He’ll make a deal with anyone. Even with the devil. But maybe even with the opposition. On the other side of the political aisle. Imagine that. Achieving the impossible. The end of political gridlock in Washington. Yes, goes to show. I’m more than a mere political liberal.  First and foremost. I’m an extraordinary dreamer. --Jim Broede
