“It's all about me!” egotism that is Donald Trump.

Scary prospect

I have lived under 13 U.S. presidents, beginning with Franklin Roosevelt. I don't recall any of them, including the candidates who ran unsuccessfully for this most important office, who had the, “It's all about me!” egotism that is Donald Trump.

We have to look to Europe to find a similar egomaniac — who likewise rode a wave of populism to office — to find examples of what type of leadership may result, should his campaign be successful.

Republican spectacle has now become a laughingstock to the entire world

After Super Tuesday, it looks as if the fight for the Republican nomination will be reduced to just two or three candidates. Since the spectacle has now become a laughingstock to the entire world, I would suggest a departure from the customary debate format to something more civilized.

In order to elevate the tone of the contest, remaining contenders should be given the choice of either mud wrestling, or competing in the arena with sword and trident. This way at least our potential future president will be spared the stigma of having arrived at the White House by excreting fewer bodily fluids than his opponents, the main talking point of the current debates.
