I refuse to believe that the American people are as emotionally weak as they seem, and have lost their ability to use logic and intellect during presidential election years. There should only be one concern; who will do the best job for the majority of the American people. The election should not be about personalities, or misdirected anger because your candidate lost the primaries. In 2016, our nation cannot take this election lightly; this is the most important election in modern history. Wasting your vote on a third party candidate is not a viable option; we have far too many serious domestic and international problems.

Although I’ve said this many times, I find it hard to believe that Donald Trump has a single supporter. He lacks any qualifications which would allow him to be considered to lead our nation and the free world. He opposes parts of the Constitution and thrives on fear, anger, and hatred.

Sadly, eight years of attacks on Hillary Clinton by the right wing have made her appear less qualified than she truly is. The truth is that she is the most qualified presidential candidate in history. She supports the working class, women, and minorities. She has the experience to conduct international affairs; both economically and militarily. If these continual allegations had not been the focus of the Republican Party, she would be leading Donald Trump by at least 20 points; the election would be over.

Trump’s campaign is desperately attempting to undo the damage of the last year. It’s too late. Hillary Clinton has the endorsement of the military, intelligence services, the financial community, minorities, women, and even some Republicans. No one believes that Trump has ‘changed.’ He is being politically correct today, but that is not who he is. We all know Donald Trump, and we can’t believe him, and we certainly do not trust him.

Voters must go to the polls in large numbers in November and insure that we elect a qualified president; someone who has served the interests of our nation and its people. We cannot allow a man whose only reason for seeking the presidency is personal fame and fortune to disgrace the White House.

Vote for you and your family. Discard emotion created by lies and innuendo and guarantee yourself an opportunity to improve your lifestyle. Do not be ignorant and vote for a party. In the past that has given us such despicable individuals as George W. Bush, Ted Cruz, Mitch McConnell, Steve King, Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachman, Sarah Palin, and others. These racists and bigots were assisted by other disrespected propaganda peddlers such as Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, and all of FOX Noise.

Progressives love America, and Independents do not ignore that fact. We have faith and hope for our nation’s future, and refuse to believe in Trump’s dark forecast. We know that if we elect the right leaders, America can once again become the respected nation founded by our forefathers. We believe in equality and freedom for all Americans, not just the few.
