Cacophony is one of those neat words that looks and sounds like its meaning — uproar, clamor, racket, etc. Not a perfect example of onomatopoeia, but close. At any rate, it’s a good word to describe the pandemonium over the Trump candidacy. The guy created a kind of bedlam by crashing an “invitation only” party. And the hosts are pissed. So are the hosts’ friends, supporters and associates. So are the people at the party across town. They’re equally indignant that this trespasser didn’t have the breeding to know his place.  In unison, both parties and their backers have squawked and bellowed as only lynch mobs can. In opposition, you and your circle of cronies do your homework and quietly chime in from time to time. Most Americans will go to the polls in November without investing so much as a lunch hour to gather and analyze information. Most will follow a mob and obey their long held prejudice. You can accept ignorance. You can accept prejudice as a human tendency — since it afflicts everyone to one degree or another. You can accept the character assassination of Trump by the Democrat syndicate — a well-oiled, very rich machine that happily props up their standard bearer — one Hillary Clinton — the most unethical, untrustworthy, unscrupulous and unworthy candidate in American history. What you can’t accept is treachery — on the part of the GOP political Establishment, GOP Intelligentsia, GOP Media Punditry and various GOP Conservative camps — for their relentless carping and criticism and their denigration and belligerence toward a candidate that bothered to step into the ring in defense of his country. Mitt Romney, showing his true colors, didn’t risk another embarrassment. Sixteen other stellar candidates did take the stage and crossed swords. Trump ran the gauntlet, won and was roundly bashed by his own Party. In stark contrast, not one Democrat lawmaker or civil servant issued a negative peep about their sullied candidate. That comparison tells you all you need to know about the Beltway and why America teeters on the brink. Meanwhile, Trump behaves like the American GI who won WWII. Who is this guy? You know who he is. He’s the loud dude at the party whose voice carries above the music. The voice is boastful and contentious. Nobody likes it, but the dude is rich and money talks. Without the money, the voice would have no friends — except those who know him privately. He’s the dude of whom a close friend might say, “Once you get to know him, you’ll see he’s really a nice person.” Trump always wants to win. Nothing is more American than that. That trait is one that Obama despises most. He’s an exec who runs a multi million dollar business but knows nothing about the waste and inefficiency of insider bureaucracy — of how “things work.” He’s a pragmatist who might be “disruptive” — who might prefer to run the country as a successful business.  He’s the square who actually believes that stuff about “of the people, by the people, for the people.” Trump doesn’t have a governmental record to poke holes in. He hasn’t started wars, increased debt, accepted bribes, let Americans die needlessly in foreign lands or spent taxpayer money on lavish vacations. He has no record of domestic economic failure and is not responsible for world unrest, illegal immigration or rampant terrorism. So the attack dogs must call him names and suggest he’s dangerous. The people who oppose Donald would prefer to elect someone who’s proved she’s dangerous over a guy they claim could be reckless. If Donald Trump is the rogue candidate his own Party says he is, you have a suggestion for the Establishment: place a full page ad in all the major newspapers and contact all the major recruitment firms — requesting the CV’s of any and all persons who want to be considered for the world’s top job. Think of all the bright and able executives out there — intellectual and accomplished people in  business, academic and political circles. Think of all the opinion merchants like Krauthammer, Will and  Rove who seem to know everything there is to know. There must be somebody out there who’s ready for prime time. Nobody in the GOP Establishment asked Trump to run. He took the plunge anyway, like a Ninja Warrior leaping up the vertical wall. Instead of applauding the guy who has expanded the GOP base and galvanized the nation, the Establishment rulers  sulk, pout and nitpick. They don’t like the soldier in the trench. He’s not their hand-picked soldier. Picky, picky.
