Letter to the editor: A small price to pay

Well, I, along with the vast majority of the American population, am flabbergasted. The greatest president this nation has ever had has honored our particular generation by doing what everyone seemed to lose hope of ever becoming an actual reality.

He has restored everyone’s faith that our elections are free of corruption. And the beauty of how that was accomplished is the result of his pure genius. He didn’t have to put armed thugs into the polling places. By merely threatening to do so, he kept the dead from dropping off their ballots there. Deporting, jailing, beating and killing immigrants and citizens alike tended to dim the necessity of doubting our elections ever again.

Those who raised the alarm of stolen and corrupt elections are now satisfied. They have ceased their complaints and become (at least for the time being) civil again. Warm and friendly smiles all around. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen that.

We may mourn the collapse of the Republican circus tent, but we must keep in mind that this is indeed a “small price to pay” to “Make America Great Again.”

But all is not lost. Taking into mind the many times Trump has been careless in strictly adhering to our Constitution, I hope he will continue in those slight indiscretions to insure that America will now stay great.

Running for another term ought to do it.
