Electing Trump sends bad message to kids

Trump does not want fact-checking to occur at debates? Afraid of the truth? Maybe he's actually allergic to the truth?

According to some independent fact-checking sites, during the Republican debates Trump was lying 76 percent of the time.

He just makes stuff up. His persistent claims that Obama is a Muslim and wasn't born in the U.S. His recent claim that Clinton has no child-care policy when her proposed policy has been posted on her website for months. The list of Trump's lies grows daily.

If it takes a big man to apologize, then we know that Trump is the smallest man on the planet.

Trump cares only about Trump. What in his past actions makes anyone think otherwise?

When he chooses to claim bankruptcies for his businesses, Trump ends up with a tax benefit and money in his pocket while the small businesses who did the work for him get taken.

When he refuses to release his tax returns, do you think that is for his benefit or for ours?

Which candidates have the fact-checkers found to be the most honest? Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Rand Paul, and Jeb Bush.

Yes, Hillary Clinton has made some mistakes. However, as a strong, confident, sane leader, she takes responsibility for errors and apologizes. Her actions throughout her life show that she truly cares about people - having worked tirelessly for years for women and children.

If Trump is elected president, it will say to all children in America that it is totally acceptable to spread vicious lies, call other people nasty names, preach hate and incite violence. Is that really the message anyone wants to send to our children?
