As regular COTTonLINE readers know, I haven't approved of everything Donald Trump has said and done. As a marketing guy, he sometimes gets a little carried away.
That said, I just finished reading the transcript of yesterday's Donald Trump speech on national security, posted at the Politico website. The speech is excellent, measured and thoroughly presidential. Please read it.
Trump takes on the shooting in Orlando, ties it to the failed immigration policies of the Obama administration, and says what we all know to be true. We must do better protecting our people from 'known wolf' shooters.
Sure, Trump takes some shots at Obama and Clinton along the way. When policies fail so spectacularly, as theirs did in Orlando, they become irresistible targets of opportunity.
Any Republicans who believe they need to distance themselves from the policy Trump enunciates in this speech should change their party registration before the sun sets tomorrow. They are nothing I recognize as Republican and, if officeholders, deserve a serious primary challenge.
Paul Ryan, you weasel, I'm talking about you and any who agree with you.
