Trump -- one last chance

It is refreshing to hear common sense from at least one of our presidential candidates. It is baffling to see the opposition -- the opposing team, sure; but its own team members?

Some believe Trump is rude. Some, that our country needs God and not simply a good business man. Some, that his ideas are too extreme.

We're beginning to see the not-so-rude side. And surely, can God not be seen in his passion for fairness, his love for justice and his hatred of evil? If his ideas are a little extreme, is it not because for far too long we have drifted and in many cases been forcefully pushed so far away from what our country is to be about that extreme measures are now necessary?

Isaiah had a message for his day that the people might've thought was a little extreme. They might've thought God was not with him and maybe that he was a little rude. His mindset reminds me of Trump's. "Therefore I have set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame. He who vindicates me is near."

I believe Trump knows what he can do for our country and its people. It's not just about the next four years or even eight. It is about restoration or extinction. The goal of "fundamentally" changing our nation is in full swing. Hillary will keep it going. Trump gives us one last chance.
