To the Editor,
On the rare occasions when I get chance to talk politics, the feedback I get is disturbing. I assume it is brought on by the negative reporting of the traditional media. The consensus would seem to be, both candidates are horrible people and here we go again, having to choose the lesser of two evils.
According to several polls, the American people are convinced the country is headed in the wrong direction. It would seem reasonable to ask, if that be the case, who has been leading for the last eight years. It would also seem reasonable to ask, as long as the choice is between two people, which candidate offers the better opportunity for turning the country around?
To my mind there is no question who better represents change. That person is Donald Trump. Hillary Clinton represents a continuation of failed policy, not just in international affairs, but also with domestic affairs, especially the sickly economy. Ask yourself, am I better off financially, than I was eight years ago? While you are at it, ask yourself, “Do I feel safer, for myself and my family than I did eight years ago?”
Granted, both candidates are sitting on piles of money, which makes it hard for most of us to relate.
However I think the better question is which candidate better relates to us. Is Hillary a champion for women and minorities? I don’t think so.
