Joe Dooley: Trump’s greatest problem? His arrogance

I’m Christian, American and conservative. I watched the Republican debate and found it like looking into a toilet before I flushed. Trump’s arrogance showed as the robber baron who is using his money to drive Scotsmen out of their homes for a golf course. Jeb Bush and Chris Christie showed their liberal sides by considering amnesty for illegal aliens. Rand Paul with his socialist views and the Texas senator who was born in Canada should not be even in the race. Under George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton the country already got flushed. Where are you Harry Truman?

Joe Dooley, Modesto

Editor’s note: Sen. Ted Cruz was born in Calgary, Canada after his father, a U.S. citizen, moved there with his family to work in the Canadian oil fields.
