I enjoyed reading your post, especially when I agree with all of what your feel and wrote. I cannot believe that Trump has so many followers. I watch Fox, and Cnn news and It is amazing how Fox changes the wording of the news to suit Trump. Hillary is no saint. she is human and she has made mistakes. She is not responsible for her husband's sexual infidelities. I love the analogy you make between the tow men.
I feel she is more than capable of being the president with her experience her way of communicating and her dedication.
Well written Mary

Hi Mikey,
I think the most worrying thing about this entire thing is that he got this far and has such a lot of support. it is truly mindboggling and actually quite frightening.
What this whole escapade has done though is open up the underbelly of a country and it has done a lot of damage to the nation as a whole, irrespective of the outcome. Hopefully it can be healed, but that's a big job.
Excellent piece.

You state your case very well, and IF the accusations made against D.T. are based on fact and not simply prompted and timed just to do damage in the manner the Establishment with the help of the corrupt mainstream news media has been doing for decades to anyone representing a different view, then I agree such behavior is reprehensible. No one should treat ANYONE else that way, period. However, the man, unlike his rival, is NOT a traitor to this country (giving out at the third debate what should be a military secret regarding the time from when the president is informed of an incoming attack to when buttons are pushed in response, to name just one example). Also, he had NO part in what the Democrats and their RINO cohorts have done to this country. I agree he's not the kind of statesman (or woman) we really want and need, but I'll take him any day
over the Clinton crime family and further loss of what we thought this country stood for. O, H.C., and J.K. have alienated our allies, emboldened our enemies, created chaos in the Middle East, weakened our military, allowed totally unvetted people into this country by the thousands, divided the American public into angry splinter groups, and put us at risk of World War III. There is no way I could vote to continue such policies. Nevertheless, I say again that you presented your case clearly and have every right to do so (until the Establishment takes such freedom away, as they have been doing bit by bit with "political correctness" and attacks on all who disagree with them).

Thank you, Mikie, for standing up and stating direct opinion about our boy Trump. Emphasis on BOY.
I quake wondering if the rest of the world will continue to question America's sanity after his disgraceful run for office. I voted and hope no one sits this one out. The sheep are running to the polls, lead by their illogical Judas goat.
Great post. All's good.
No one should hate an honest opinion.

You made it as tame as possible, you say. I will do likewise and make this as tame as possible. I hate that GOP voters chose TRump. The height of stupidily. But I'll take a "might be crazy" over a "definitely a criminal and pathological liar" any day. We have two horrible choices. I say ANYBODY but the corrupt, self-centered, greedy, nasty Hillary. She's not looking healthy. I honestly hope she dies in office, the sooner the better. Kane is an idiot, but he's too stupid to be dangerous.

Well thought out points you have presented.
This is an election like no other I've witnessed in my lifetime.
Suggestion:
(we) boys - not us. There were two places for this.

First off, the title caught me--what a great title! Second, I could feel the heat coming off this--very fiery! Thirdly, you bring up valued points that point clearly what could be wrong with some things. You have caught my attention, I believe I have listened, and I thank you for your share!! Cheers :)

Dear Michael,
I am not a Trump supporter or a Hilary supporter. Both don't deserve to be President.
I can dredge up all kinds of things about Hilary that would rival what you have said about Trump. The worst part for me is that both are totally dishonest and have no problem lying to further their cause. If you don't have honesty you don't have ANYTHING.
I echo what you say. I am terrified of anyone that votes for either of them.

A politically disenchanted individual (Winslow)

Wow! Quite a persuasive essay. Although I haven't paid much attention to either candidate in order to save my positive attitude toward our future. It seems to be nothing but a bully contest. The comparison with Monica and Clinton makes a valid point. I choose not to vote this year. Same with hubby since our opposing choices for President would cancel each other's vote out.

Hi Mikey,
I am just looking at technical aspects on the context, rather than the point of view here. In my mind that is all subjective here, and I realize what you are doing in stating as you have in this piece.
In this section:
How about men who give their life for this country? Is the life of a Muslim not quite of the same value as other races? That's a position you share with Trump?
(Muslim is actually defined as "people who follow the religion of Islam, or pertaining to said religion." So would you want to modify your sentence where you mention race rather than religion?)
I was thinking you had entered this in the Political Flash Fiction, but I suppose it isn't really fiction lol Lord, help us all in the voting booth tomorrow.
