To the editor:

There are 17 Republicans this year vying for president, each trying to convince us they alone are qualified, competent and capable of being the leader of the free world. Donald Trump, the leader of this “pack,” has distinguished himself with his pomposity, arrogance and condescending behavior towards his fellow candidates, viciously attacking them, criticizing and personally belittling them every chance afforded. 

Surprisingly, the reaction of all these Republican “candidates” seems to be sit back, remain silent and meekly accept Trump’s personal attacks and bullying tirades against them. They seem more concerned about political correctness than having the guts to stand up against Trump, which makes them all appear pathetically fragile and total “wusses.”  

Is this who we are looking for as our next president? Is this who we are? If one can’t even stand up to America’s bully, Trump, what happens when Putin, the Russian bully, calls you out in front of the world?  Just saying.
