Interesting, Democrats see problems with Republican candidates but not candidates from their own party. Mr. Panko makes several points to prove his claim that Donald Trump should not be our next president. Those arguments could at least be factual;
1. Trump, for five years refused to accept President Obama’s U.S. citizenship. True, but he failed to mention that it was Hillary’s campaign which began this “birther” issue over eight years ago.
2. Mr. Trump insulted Senator John McCain. True.
3. Trump mocked a handicapped reporter. False! (Good talking point, though.)
4. Refused to recognize a federal judge. False. Mr. Trump did insult the judge, but there is information this judge rules, not according to law, but according to his own agenda. Mr. Trump, however, should have said this instead of insulting the judge.
5. “Treats women as sexual objects.” Talk. Unacceptable, disgusting, shameful talk, but no proof he did more than talk. Mr. Trump is unable to prove he did not do these things. His accusers can not prove he did them. Why did they wait 10 or more years to come forward? Why now, just weeks before the election? (There is something in the law about being innocent until proven guilty.) I am pleased, though, the Democratic party is finally defending women, unlike when Bill Clinton was president; he abused 17 women that we know about, 17 women who were then abused again by Hillary and the Democratic party. Hillary now says women should always be believed, but would not believe them when it counted! The women in Bill Clinton’s case came forward immediately. There is proof of President Clinton’s sexual abuse of women; remember Monica Lewinski? Her dress?
Remember Jennifer Flowers? There is more.
6. Trump wants to close borders to all Muslims. (Implying forever.) False. Mr. Trump said we should close all boarders to all Muslims, UNTIL. Later he modified that.
7. True.
8. True. However, the family did insult him first. Though that does not excuse Mr. Trump’s retaliation, we should be given all of the facts.
9. Let us keep facts in proper context. Mr. Trump did not say he prefers communism. He said he respects effective leaders and Mr. Putin is an effective leader. 10. True, I think. So what? If the Democrats can not protect their own emails, can we trust them to protect government emails? Apparently not if they are from, or to Hillary!
12. True. A stupid comment, though said in jest.
13. Donald Trump does have experience with foreign countries. He has done business in many nations, and has had to deal with the leaders and business owners of those countries. 14. True, I think.
Now, how about the Democratic nominee? Hillary Clinton did use a private server, then lied about its extent and purpose to the U.S. Congress, the FBI and to us. She betrayed four brave, patriotic American men in Benghazi, allowing them to be murdered. They warned her what was going to happen for weeks, but she ignored them, then lied about that, too. They begged for help. She ignored their pleas, then testified before Congress and said, “What difference does it make now?”! Our embassy’s in every country are U.S. territory by law, so she also refused to keep her pledge to “protect and defend” our country, allowing four men to be murdered, four wives to be widowed, and several children to become fatherless, but, “What difference does it make?” Almost 30 years in government and she still does not know “C” means “confidential.” Really? 30 years of saying, “I do not recall.”, “I can not remember.”, “I did nothing wrong.”, “I was wrong, and would not do that again.” Really?
She says one thing to us, and we have discovered, (from her deleted emails), another to big business and foreign governments. She and the Democratic party conspired to make sure Bernie Sanders would not be the party’s nominee for president. Then lied about that as well. Then there is the Clinton Foundation, which we now know has been used for illegal purposes. And on, and on, and on.
