Need for change is no laughing matter

I had to laugh at the opinion piece by Ed Murnane in Tuesday's Daily Herald.

Mr. Murnane seems to think our "national government has become a laughingstock around the world" due to President Trump. Perhaps his years of staff service in Washington have harmed his memory of the Bill Clinton escapades with women in the White House, including a certain intern. Certainly, the term laughingstock applies to that instance.

Does Murnane not yet understand that millions of working people who still believe in the ideal of achievement through hard work, not political deals, not government welfare are the ones who elected Donald Trump? These same people are sick of the Washington establishment of both parties and the big city "intellectuals" who think they know best.
