What’s a voter to do, indeed, Jay Fleitman. In your May 3 Gazette column, you find it astonishing that the Democrat Party would nominate the likes of Hillary Clinton? Apparently you have already been deeply engaged in the life of exile about which you wrote. The DNC has had the deck stacked, cards marked and dealer hand picked for her since 2008.
You assert an equal and befuddled consternation in regard to Donald Trump yet at the same time succinctly list the litany of woes that face this nation: soaring national debt, rising terrorism, rising poverty, etc. And then you wonder why we are at this place in time in our history with regard to the two presidential candidates that will be proffered by the two major political parties.
Tens of millions of Americans have cast their votes in primary elections this year. That it has come down to the two remaining candidates should come as no surprise to anyone. The country is distinctly divided into two camps: those that are willing to try just about anything to break the ruling class stranglehold on the future of this country and those that wish to continue it.
Come on Fleitman, get serious here. Even you can probably figure out which of the two remaining candidates represent which group.
