Prolific writer and blogger Doug Johnson wrote a post speculating on how Hillary Clinton may win the White House if Ted Cruz wins. After reading Doug’s blog post and closely examining his piece, I came to the conclusion that this colorful writer had a wealth of political insight and knowledge, but also a hint of the conspiracy theorist’s fascination with what is really behind the scenes, even though nobody can prove it. Doug’s piece, which was directed by J. Matt Barber and appeared on the recently popular barbwire website, had one particular point that I just could not get over. It has nothing to do with Hillary; rather, it concerns how American voters interpret and comprehend the messages being sent to them by the several GOP contenders running in this election season. Mr. Johnson claims that the fact that Mr. Trump speaks to Americans at the fifth grade level is the reason his message resonates with so many of them. Johnson states, Anyone who has studied marketing communications and public speaking knows that you should always speak between a 5th grade and 8th grade level to make it easy to understand. The GOP candidates were criticized for speaking below a college level at the last debate, with every candidate speaking between a 5th grade and 9th grade level (trump at the 5th grade level, cruz at the 9th grade level and everyone else in between). That’s also the stage at which the greatest amount of persuasion is achieved. Almost anybody would reach the same conclusion as Mr. Johnson after watching the whole two hours of the Tuesday, November 10, 2015 top tier GOP debate. If we reduced Mr. Trump’s evaluation of America’s shortcomings to its most basic It seems that China is the main issue facing America. We can achieve full fiscal recovery if we can get China in order. This is not above third grade material. Trump has made it quite evident that he is essentially a one-note candidate, while the state of politics and the issues facing the globe now are like an off-key symphony being performed. Some others claim that Americans are drawn to Trump because of their growing resentment against politicians. I would provide a whole different explanation for the Trump phenomena. All we are doing is repeating the errors made in 2008 and 2012. We made the decision to trust a campaign slogan that seemed to promise change, which was something we all believed was necessary. We were fixated on a pop-culture icon who assured us of the moon and stars, and we refused to let him or her down. After almost eight years, we can see that it is a blazing pile of falsehoods, unfulfilled promises, and the darkest descent into depravity that neither our ancestors nor we could have ever imagined. We argue today that men marrying men is OK, that the Keystone Pipeline is a catastrophe, and that Americans are becoming more and more convinced that abortion is murder and that many abortions are genocide. Barack Obama has shown to be a change agent, and everyone who still has a shred of conscience is utterly disbelieving of the 2008 slogan, change we can believe in. The pop culture icon was elected to government not because of his brilliance as a fifth grader, but rather because of his lack of discernment, which results from a generation of abuses against all that is biblically legitimate and, yes, even constitutional. The tall, dark, attractive stranger amused us with a song and dance routine, a wide grin, and words that were as smooth as silk. While it is enjoyable to be amused, it is irksome and time-consuming to uphold our ancestors’ call to decency, righteousness, and caution. Now, the once-most powerful country in history finds itself in an antiquated middle ground of hazardous and unworkable liberalism and weakness, mocked at home, and terribly unprepared for the changes sweeping the globe. More than sixty million Christians chose to remain at home or to ignore the fact that, by voting for Barack Obama in 2008 and again in 2012, they were pushing for the murder of more American babies and the lowest level of moral decay ever to hit a country. Steeped in indolence and sluggishness, they handed the blame to the marvellous realm of show business, giving the traveling magician an opportunity to take charge of the country. Now, in 2016, the magic show appears to be beginning anew as we believe that electing a man whose ego cost ten billion dollars to build will solve all of Obama’s failed prestidigitation, and then we can sit back and watch as the fairy dust settles and builds the warm, glowing nation that will once again be – Excellent. With a smug flick of the wrist and the immortal words, I have built a company worth billions and billions of dollars, I don’t have to listen to this guy, Trump waved off the governor of one of our most populous states, whose record as an innovator and economist is unmatched. He was instantly heckled. How much does Trump care about the low-income worker, single mother, or anybody else in the lower income range if a governor can’t say anything to the powerful billionaire? Not to be forgotten, Kasich once cut US government expenditure by 160 billion dollars while also helping Ohio escape an eight billion dollar deficit. Not just one individual, but everyone profited from this. Kasich didn’t serve himself; he served others. How can Donald Trump lead our country to greatness? our is hardly the answer of a great man. My father taught me that anybody can get wealthy by fooling about; he also taught me that great men do not know how to build big nations—that is, by themselves. According to one of my closest and most reliable friends, Trump behaves like a schoolyard hero, propelled by the might of his billion-dollar ego. I am unable to counter or come up with a strong case against my friend’s quirky but accurate evaluation. I will have to accept Doug Johnson’s analysis of the American voter at this point. The fifth grader is not smarter than us. This writer did not invent or describe stupidity, but years ago I found that if we take the smartest man’s advice on knowledge and apply it to its exact opposite, we get a singular but tragically true reality. The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the holy is understanding, said the great monarch Solomon. (Proverbs 9: 10) Therefore, the only outcome that can result from disobeying God and abandoning all knowledge of him and his teachings is the start of foolishness. Barack Obama is the result of a generation of idiocy that began with liberalism. That’s all that happened after his presidency, and the most important question we can ask at this point is whether history is going to repeat itself via the current GOP pop-culture icon, Mr. Donald Trump.
