The truth about the 2016 election is that Donald Trump does not have “crossover” support from Democrats, and Independents are primarily members of “anti-Trump” movements. Trump cannot win without 100 percent of support from Republican loyalists. This will apparently not be the case. Many respected Republican leaders have denounced the failed businessman. A group of intelligent and influential Republican women have joined to form a pro-Hillary Clinton movement.

Last week Trump met with Republican Senators. Although most of the hypocrites, who place their party ahead of our nation, claim that Trump made great strides in uniting the party, some are now convinced that he is bad for the country and bad for the party.

During the meetings, Trump threatened one Senator, and called another a “loser.”

Jeff Flake is a Republican Senator from Arizona who has challenged Trump’s racist remarks regarding Hispanics. Trump threatened to work for the defeat of his reelection campaign. Flake informed Trump that he was not up for reelection until 2018.

Senator Mark S. Kirk of Illinois did not show up for the meetings with Trump. Recently he announced that he has withdrawn his support for the party’s presumptive candidate. Trump used his now infamous tactic of name calling to display his anger. He called Kirk “dishonest” and a “loser.” Once again Trump has proven that he has a mastery of the English language comparable to Sarah Palin and Phil Robertson.

Occasionally Trump has mellowed in his pathetic speech, only to resort to vile and angry rhetoric when he is challenged.

Instead of growing support, Trump’s campaign is witnessing increasing opposition from within the rank and file of the GOP.

During this pre-convention period, the polls must be ignored. The media “hand picks” those who participate in those polls to increase voter interest.

The fact is that Trump lacks the support of nearly every demographic. In fact, he has inspired some to become adversaries including women, Hispanics, and all other religious groups than the Christian religious right.

For America, winning is not an option for Trump’s ambitions. I ask all of you to cast your vote for the people of our nation who are repelled by racism, bigotry, misogyny, and xenophobia. Vote for yourself and your family’s future.
