I've seen a shocking increase in racist and sexist and just plain rude public comments, and I'm sure it's because his hate-filled behavior is making it seem "okay" to express disgusting sentiments publicly. I am praying that his followers come to their senses before November, otherwise some of us may be seeking asylum in Trelawnyd.marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382860428232383833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-46295582953822221662016-10-13T21:19:59.390+00:002016-10-13T21:19:59.390+00:00Well said.

Is Bill running for office? At least Hillary has a sense of who she really is and that everyone knows she comes from the old school: till death do us part ( which I think it is ridiculous because I am still married to my husband and he died 4 years ago) and while there is or could be ambition as the reason that is not for me to judge, or even to comment For someone who's affairs made the front page of the gossip columns for months, and who thinks of women as disposable, and the only thing missing from that lurid and disgusting comment about how he thinks of, and treats women was the classic "oh, but she loved it" He is the poster child of narcissism, a sociopath with a deep conviction of entitlement. Our country will be in deep trouble if this tin dictator better suited for a banana republic, who involuntarily showed his true character by threatening her with jail,could win anything but a trip to a sanitarium, we will be subjected to another sample of North Korea. Our laws will be perverted and we all better find a place to move as far away from this maniac as possible because his only thought is to bomb Daesh until Kingdom comes so just think what the results of the madness will be. If you love your children and are reading this at home be sure to understand that a vote for him is a vote for the world to end as we know it. it.Last night someone asked me what do I fear the most about him and I said that I know in my heart of heart he will rape our democracy, allow every thing that is wrong with uneducated people to be the new America. What we called Politically corrected when I was growing up was called good manners.And as for the republicans it may serve them well to remember that when you make a deal with the devil, you end in Hell, We shall be so lucky..<br /><br />A.Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06947308878002639964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-33014357689370222912016-10-11T06:46:13.487+00:002016-10-11T06:46:13.487+00:00I don't think I will comment as I'm afraid...I don't think I will comment as I'm afraid I might offend someone.Comox Valley and beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592683050512187874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-53272842418260665352016-10-11T06:19:44.711+00:002016-10-11T06:19:44.711+00:00I will cast my vote for Clinton, I am not being su...I will cast my vote for Clinton, I am not being sucked into the trash bin that he is opening.

There is really no comparison. it would take me pages to list all the verifiable things about Trump that make him a terrible person and a failure at everything he has put his hand to and the small businesses he has put under because he won't pay his bills telling them he thinks he's paid enough, his foundation is a scam, his university was a scam, he is involved in thousands of lawsuits, etc. Hillary on the other hand has been the target of character assassination for 25 years. 25 years of investigations and millions of dollars spent and not a single indictment, not a shred of proof or evidence of wrongdoing. she has been in service to this country all her adult life. accusations without proof are just opinions and apparently people don't understand the difference between opinion and provable claims. the republican party has been afraid of this woman since she first came on the scene and got in their faces refusing to back down and let the men carry on. Trump is a narcissistic bully who during this last debate stalked her on the dais glowering his visceral hate trying to intimidate her. These two are nothing alike.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-81048490703667350922016-10-10T23:45:49.269+00:002016-10-10T23:45:49.269+00:00Our founding fathers must be rolling over in their...Our founding fathers must be rolling over in their graves!

He is, admittedly, the worst we've seen, but being a jackass isn't a crime; it's just embarrassing.<br /><br />What is truly scary is that he has no understanding of the Constitution (along with many Americans, usually Republicans but not always). <br /><br />For instance, before you get to the Second Amendment and its guns, we have a First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of religion and specifically saying we don't have a national religion. So, where is the authority for opposing LGBTs, etc., and making abortion, which was passed legally, a crime, based on your perception of Christianity?<br /><br />And that good ol' First Amendment also guarantees freedom of the press, and T***p's banning some from his campaign for differing views, is deeply disturbing. A free press, like 'em or not, is essential to a democracy.<br /><br />I could go on, but this is too long already. We aren't a dictatorship (yet) or oligarchy (yet, I hope), and as Michael Douglas said in 'The American President,' democracy is hard. If you don't have the guts for it, don't try it.<br /><br />And that's before threatening to jail your opponent. You don't even joke about that. It's not funny.<br /><br />Phew.
