ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS

For several years now many Americans have been very perplexed as to why establishment Republicans have done essentially nothing to stop many of the Obama policies that have been very detrimental to our country. Nor have they done anything on their own to try to fix the obvious problems of our nation. Oh, they will speak up with low level complaints or suggestions that try to placate the American people, but essentially, even with control of both Houses, they do nothing. Yet today in their opposition to Trump their agenda may be beginning to reveal itself.

Have they sold out to lobbyists? To special interest groups? To foreign nations, even our adversaries? It may very well be that this is the reason why they are so opposed to Trump since he would try to right some of the detrimental issues affecting our country. This in turn would upset their ongoing money flow, their wealth, and power base that derives from these special groups that try to influence our country. Take trade as only one example. It is well known that our trade deals with major trading countries are highly slanted against the financial interests of the United States, and to the benefit of these countries. What Trump is saying is to level the playing field, make trading deals where BOTH the United States and the trading country will benefit, not one sided deals. The establishment Republicans are saying Trump is against free trade...an out and out fabrication. What he is for is FAIR trade, something all Americans should want. Are the establishment Republicans being paid off by foreign governments to keep trade in their favor?

The issues being brought up about Trump are minuscule, I repeat, MINUSCULE, compared to the very major issues concerning Hillary Clinton who has a long history of corruption, dishonesty, illegal activities including felonies. Essentially selling out America for personal gain and power. This history is well documented and is major compared to any miscues said by Trump and the created hype by the establishment Republicans and the media. Temperament? Have you really looked into the issues of temperament concerning Hillary Clinton? Her personal character when in the White House? During the Benghazi crisis where the United States was under attack? Her attacks against women who were the victims of her husband?

The establishment Republicans appear to want to preserve their own power and wealth and not upset the "apple cart", even if it means electing Hillary Clinton. Our great country be damned. Their actions during this very important presidential election cycle are HIGHLY suspicious and revealing. It is their character that should be in question.
