ELECTION: Donald Trump isn't a credible candidate

It is beyond belief that Donald Trump would even be considered a viable candidate for president of the United States. He may entertain the media with his ridiculous antics, but try to picture Trump handling foreign relations in a tactful, respectful manner with world leaders including the unstable North Korean ruler without starting major deadly conflicts and divisions.

Trump has shown how unpresidential and obnoxious he is by attacking a reporter, devaluing Latinos, criticizing Sen. John McCain because he was a prisoner of war, etc. Acting more like the unstable North Korean ruler, Trump has provided a side show that distracts the public from getting a serious look at Republican choices.

It is past time for the Republicans to speak out, strongly and effectively, about Trump.
