Personally I do not believe the polls today. But if they are accurate, they prove that the American people do not care about the future of our nation or the future of our people. Maybe they simply hate the America created by our founding fathers.

The polls claim that Clinton and Trump are tied, and that Trump is more trustworthy regarding national defense. Really?

This means that the American people support another unwinnable war. Trump has openly stated that he loves war, ‘including the nuclear variety.’

The poll also apparently revealed that Trump is ahead with Independents. This I cannot believe. Independents, such as myself, generally vote for the betterment of our nation and its people. Trump fails to fit the definition of “American.” He would tear up the Constitution and replace it with the policies of a fascist dictator. It is impossible for me to believe that the people of our nation have become so racist and bigoted that they would support the evil which is Trump.

A Trump presidency would mean the end of the dream. The United States of America will have destroyed itself as predicted by Abraham Lincoln. The people will be the culprits who decided that the ideals of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Madison, and Adams were foolish, and freedom and justice for all must not be allowed.

The American people are ignorant. They listen to politicians like Trump, watch FOX Noise, and fail to face reality. They are lemmings being led to their own demise.

I was aghast after last week’s shootings that white America criticized “Black Lives Matter;” calling the movement ‘racist,’ anti-white,’ ‘anti-cop,’ and even ‘terrorist.’ Whites called for a complete condemnation of the group and their protests. I’ve never seen whites protest a Ku Klux Klan rally, or call them what they are, ‘racists,’ and traitors to the very ideal of America.

“Trumpenstein” is the sum of all things bad about our nation. He represents ignorance, hatred, the failure to learn from his mistakes, prejudice towards all non-whites and all religions other than Christianity, and a weak temperament which forces him to make rash decisions. If racism is encouraged to grow in our nation, we cease to be Americans in the true sense of the word; a word I once was proud to proclaim.

Trump’s success can be entirely blamed on the media. They support him and fail to ask him the tough questions or force him to offer complete answers. He does not believe that our nation has real problems. He is ignoring income inequality, growing racism, unequal treatment for women, the cost of higher education, equal protection under the law for all Americans, and a reasonable solution for nearly 12 million undocumented workers. Trump has been given a free pass to say anything without a basis in fact or reality. He is a vile man and is hated around the world. He will bring that hatred upon our people; and they will deserve it.

Voting upon emotion is senseless and a display of ignorance. We must elect someone who will lead our nation forward, and not destroy our chance to become great.
