A Sick Nation Needs Your Vote

President Trump touts the 2018 mid-term elections as being about Kavanaugh, an immigrant caravan, law and order and common sense. I agree with ONE assessment; indeed this election cries out to an electorate for common sense.

Trump's policies gave massive tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans, which creating insurmountable national debt for future generations. Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell has an idea how to reduce the debt...cut social security and Medicare benefits. These are not entitlements...social security and Medicare are earned benefits.

We have a President who verbally attacks the allied countries of Germany and Canada while embracing the known evil and inhumane dictators of Russia, North Korea and Saudi Arabia. We have a President who verbally attacks American journalist and desires to do business with a nation that just murdered an American journalist and dismembered his body.

I don't know about others but my common sense tells me there is something sick and wrong about an America that embraces a leader who calls American protesters "son-of-a-bitches" one day and another day he says he "loves" a murdering dictator like Kim Jung Un.

Surprise! Surprise! As the mid-term election approaches, President Trump once again plays the   'immgrant-race card' as he stirs underlying American prejudices pointing to that "caravan of immigrants" approaching the America border seeking asylum. This language is 'red meat' for his bigoted base. Trump is good at it...remember the White Supremacist in Charlottesville? "There were good people on both sides." Remember the Muslim ban and Trump's call for American mosques' surveillance by law enforcement?

Remember Trump degrading Ted Cruz's wife with a ugly inference about her lack of attractiveness? Trump also suggested Cruz's father had something to do with JFK's assassination. Ted Cruz is a wimp for not defending his family. On a Personal Note: I was eight years old when on one occasion a man insulted my grandmother, Mammy Bennett. With one lightning punch, my father dropped that man like a sack of rocks. Therefore, in honor of my father and hope for my country, I will cast a common sense vote this mid-term to punch out our nation's sickness under one sick leader.
