Trump's ignorance.

I have neighbors who supported Cruz , who decided reluctantly to support Trump. Now, it seems that they are going to sit out the election unless the party removes him.

Trump has his core supporters, but he is losing his outer ring of support quickly, imo.

I saw a video of Trump when he appeared on the Oprah Show several years ago, and was surprised that he was espousing a lot of the things he does now.

What struck me, however, was he completely calm, relaxed demeanor. The old Trump was someone I disagreed with, but I didn't think he was crazy.

Now, I think he's crazy and completely out of control, and it terrifies me to think that this man could be in charge of our military! He also seems to have become more ignorant, which is worrisome in itself considering his father had Alzheimers.
