Future at stake

The fate of our country is at stake. Through progressive Democrat rule, there is: More income inequality; an upsurge of immense debt; extreme class warfare; inner cities' urban plantation (with shootings and killings escalating) weighed down and growing from progressive Democrat socialist programs increasing reliance on government, thus increasing government power; rioting now a legitimatized response for protest; terrorism, unrest and frightening alliances in the Middle East escalating.

Peace is through strength, not nice talking while dismantling our military. Iran nuke "deal": The release of hostages should have been pre-eminent - ignored, billions paid and more. Thugs, dictators and terrorists don't "negotiate". Period. Talk here is NOT cheap, it is deadly.

Government redistributing our dollars ad infinitum, "helping" people, requiring no training/learning/work, helps no one in the long run, keeping generations on urban plantations.

These are part of Hillary Clinton's legacy. Her personal transgressions are no small thing. Security jeopardized, transparency nonexistent, destruction of subpoenaed emails, hammer to cellphones, Justice Department destruction of laptops seems the stuff of fiction, but so sad, it's so true. The State Department, under Secretary Clinton, ignored hundreds of requests for more security in Ben Ghazi, blathered during the attack, sending no support, resulting in four men killed.

HRC puts her self-interests above the safety and security of our nation. Wanting a woman president is fine, just not her. She's shown her disdain for us with abuse of the rule of law with her continued self-serving actions on our dime.

She is unfit for any office, much less the President.

Donald Trump is running for President because he sees the devastating decline of this amazing country. His success in the private sector and his ability to complete projects; his support of the police and the military; his understanding the blight of the inner cities, wanting to elevate people; his grasp of open border impacts (previous immigrants had many requirements to enter); wanting peace through strength and supporting unity over divisiveness are critical to our health as a nation.

He believes in the constitution. What one doesn't like about Trump is not reason enough to not vote for him if this country is to be saved.
