I have two questions.

Do we not have anybody with common sense anymore? It seems like it only takes a statement made by someone who sounds like he or she knows what they are talking about and people believe it as gospel. I’m sorry, but facts matter. We have a president that has told more lies than anyone ever and he is taken at his word. His vocabulary is that of a teenager. Sorry, but that is how I see it. Describing the cities of the last two mass shootings as very nice places. They are places where most of the residents are nationalities he doesn’t like. Well, at least one is. Then, he says we have to rid of the hate. To me, that means he should resign from office. He has unleashed more hate than I’ve ever seen.

Second question. Why does everyone say we can’t afford universal health care, but we can afford a tax break for the wealthy worth more that $1.5 trillion? Just listen to a man who for his whole career in politics has been fighting for the working class and did not take money from big money lobbyist. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have the working man’s interest at heart and would be great leaders for this country of ours. Don’t be afraid of words. They are tools used by con artists like Trump. Let’s not let fear steal another election. If you really like what is happening to our country, then I feel sorry for you.
