A vast gulf

I will happily cast my vote for Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8. Simply put, Donald Trump is unfit to be president. I have been amazed by the depth and breadth of the negative adjectives columnists, pundits and editorial boards alike have used attempting to adequately describe Mr. Trump's many failings. Hillary Clinton is not a perfect candidate, but she does have the institutional knowledge and temperament to lead this country. The gulf between her capabilities and Mr. Trump's lack thereof, is vast. I'm appalled listening to his angry, ignorant, racist tirades. In our best moments, we are a country of citizens who care about our fellow man. Trump's greatest ability is to appeal to our worst instincts and fears.
