The answers are clear

Question: Who was recently described by a noted jurist as “tenacious, tight-lipped, by the book”? Donald J. Trump or Special Counsel Robert Mueller? Who would you consider honest and trustworthy, hardworking and focused? The answers to these simple questions are clear to any rational sentient being.

It is too late for anti-Trump rants and partisan screeds. Anyone who gives any thought at all to what is happening to our country must know their vote for Trump in 2016 was misguided. Anyone who cares about the rule of law and constitutional checks and balances knows we have a president who is unruly, unchecked and unbalanced.

Some may choose to vote Republican regardless of the truth. Perhaps the tax cuts and removal of regulations to protect consumers and the environment have made them richer. Perhaps they aren’t concerned about looming cuts to Medicaid and Medicare resulting from the ballooning federal deficit caused by these tax cuts.

Evangelicals and religious conservatives will vote for him again— not because he is a religious man, far from it, but because he can, has and will put conservative justices on the Supreme Court. He has kept his word about that. Xenophobes and racists will vote for him regardless of what crimes he may commit. They are beyond reason and beneath contempt.

There really should be no one left to convince after two years of this un-presidency. We just need reasonable folks to get out and vote. Admit their mistake and try to make up for it by voting for every Democrat on the ballot. Send a message to Washington that is unmistakable. My grandchildren and yours will be the winners in the end.
