Preserve security

Mr. Trump may have a number of ideas for improving the domestic economic and cultural issues which most of his followers are focused on. But his presidency would imperil our nation in its foreign relations if any of his bizarre ideas about the global geo-politic were to be implemented.

Ms. Clinton will unfortunately continue many of President Obama's misdirected efforts at implementing social and economic change by administrative fiat, most especially the continuous drive to morph the Affordable Care Act into a single-payer system. We already have a single-payer system in the US; it's called the VA and it is not a success, nor will a national program be.

However, under her presidency, the United States will retain or even expand its role as an international leader in its global political and economic influence, and the security of our nation will be protected by her administration.

Given these two choices, preserving our national security is clearly the more important issue and therefore a vote for Ms. Clinton is in order to preserve it.
