The 'theme' I keep hearing from Republican leaders, i.e., Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is (I paraphrase): 'Yes, Donald Trump's remarks about a Indiana born judge with Mexican heritage is textbook racism but he ((Trump) is still better than Hillary Clinton as a Presidential choice.' Really? REALLY?
This great nation, The United States of America has fought back against a history of bigotry and racism against American-Indians, Haitians, Chinese, Jews, African-Americans, Japanese-Americans, Southeast-Asians, Koreans, Hispanics, East-Europeans (Slavic), Southern-Europeans (Italians/Greeks) and Irish. Really!!! Read your history books. And today in this 2016 American Presidential election we have people who will vote for a man who has demonstrated without question that he is a school yard bully racist. Add to that mind boggling sickness those who would vote for a hate-racist pitifully defend their position saying, "Trump is better than Hillary Clinton." REALLY? Hillary Clinton's 'sins' are so great that, we Americans prefer to elect a President who is a bigot...a racist? May God forgive us from such ugliness towards our brothers and sisters.
For whom shall I vote? This may, indeed, be a defining question for the next generation. I just hope my voting-age grandchildren, when asked by their children years from now, "Which side of history were you on back in the year 2016," they have the caring, loving and Christ-like answer.
Making America Great Again is NOT taking our attitudes and thinking back fifty years but ensuring that bigotry and discrimination is pushed further back in our history...Really.
Just a few days ago, two university studies were released confirming that Donald Trump's Presidential Candidacy is driven by 'racial anxieties.' Surprise Surprise!
If you're one of those 'bottom-line' thinkers then think of this: A racist should always be unfit to hold any elected office in the United States. REALLY.
