At this critical juncture of our nation’s history Trump should remember the words of Sir Winston Churchill.
It was the middle of WW II and the Nazis were bombing London daily. There was destruction everywhere — stores were devastated, homes were burned, people were maimed, the King and his two daughters (Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret) toured the destruction, offering what help they could.
The British population was growing weary and tired, and the authorities thought a big rally to bolster the morale and the spirits of the British subjects was in order.
So they scheduled a rally in a large hall in the middle of London. Seven or eight speakers were lined up, including Sir Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister, who was to speak last. On the appointed day the hall was filled to overflowing.
One by one the speakers rose and delivered their speech to arose the public and to give them encouragement. And they went on for HOURS! The audience was nearly asleep after their nearly endless rhetoric
Finally it was Sir Winston’s turn to speak.
He rose from his chair, walked to the podium, and for a full 5 minutes just stood there silent, gazing at the audience and taking their measure.
Finally he spoke. He said . . . .
“never . . . . .
“Never . . . . .
“NEVER . . . .
“NEVER GIVE UP!”
Then he walked back to his seat and sat down.
And as you know, England went on to win the war.
And that’s exactly what Donald Trump should do — “NEVER GIVE UP” and win the election that he rightfully won.
My two cents.

Courage is a very rare commodity in today’s world. Winston would never recognize the Britain of today and America is quickly following in its footsteps. For the sake of future generations I hope I am wrong.
I’ve recently watched both of the newish Churchill movies, and found similarity after similarity between Churchill and Trump. The willingness to fight is the clearest. But perhaps even more important is the ability to recognize the enemy when everyone else is arguing to just roll over and accept defeat as inevitable.
