This is in response to the "groans for Hillary"
article in Wednesday's paper. I'm sure there were Romans saying; "Let's
put this Nero fellow in charge. What harm could he do?" I'm old, white,
male, hetero, Christian and relatively well-off. You know, firmly in the Trump
demographic. I'll be voting enthusiastically for Ms. Clinton. There has been an
industry devoted to smearing her for the last 28 years. The Republican convention
continued that effort with the ongoing despicable use of the tragedy of
Benghazi for their political purposes. Disgust with that would be reason enough
to cast my ballot for her.
But, Donald Trump
has said he plans to default on US debt. He figures our creditors (like many of
his were forced to do) will take dimes on the dollar. He also plans to place
tariffs on goods from China. You won't mind paying 45% more on everything from
that country in order to "make ours great again," will you? The
people asked by the Post Star don't mind. I remember what President Bush did to
my investments in 2008. From the sounds, those are going to look like the good
old days.
Oh, and of
course, please ask Congresswoman Stefanik if the economic ideas of her party's
leader jibe with hers. I'm also interested if she's comfortable with the use of
the deaths of four Americans to score political points. Or would she denounce
it as the revolting spectacle that it is?
