The
Des Moines Register, long Iowa’s most influential newspaper, published
an editorial Monday night calling for Donald Trump to renounce his
candidacy for president.
Trump,
the editorial states, has become “a feckless blowhard who can generate
headlines, name recognition and polling numbers not by provoking
thought, but by provoking
outrage.”
The
strongly worded opinion piece outlines the many perceived inadequacies
that have accrued over the five-week period since Trump made his initial
bid for public office,
arguing that presidential contenders usually perform “a great public
service.”
The GOP contender and real-estate mogul, the editorial board argues, has focused on personal promotion without public service.
The
editorial goes on to explain that Trump’s apparent lack of bona fides
required to serve as president of the United States, coupled with his
recent “attempts to demonize
immigrants as rapists and drug dealers” and attacks on the Vietnam
military record of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) are a poor mix for highest
office.
“His
comments were not merely offensive, they were disgraceful. So much so,
in fact, that they threaten to derail not just his campaign, but the
manner in which we choose
our nominees for president,” the editorial argues.
“By
using his considerable wealth, his celebrity status, and his mouth to
draw attention to himself, rather than to raise awareness of the issues
facing America, he has
coarsened our political dialogue and cheapened the electoral process.”
The
piece concludes that Trump could be taking up valuable television
real-estate for candidates who are not leading in the polls and could be
disqualified from participating
in upcoming debates.
“The best way Donald Trump can serve his country is by apologizing to McCain and terminating this ill-conceived campaign.”
