A President should inspire us and encourage us to be better than we are. Trump has degraded us, urged us to be as bestial as we wish, and to immerse ourselves in the kind of hatreds and prejudices that would make our lives in a community and as a nation utterly impossible. He has encouraged us to abandon our duties as citizens of a republic, our heritage as Americans, and our very souls as human beings.
Electing him President will convince him that he was right, and that his coarse, bitter appeals are the right path to power. On Election Day, we must fight back, and tell Donald Trump that we and our country will not be sold so cheaply after being bought, long before he descended a glittering escalator, at a price greater than even a rich man can ever imagine.
.................
There is no point in rehashing Trump's positions or policies:
He doesn't have any.
