Letters: Trump the best choice
Clinton’s positions are immoral; Trump will make America strong
EDITOR: This is the most important election of our lifetime. One candidate supports potential Supreme Court nominees who would strengthen abortion rights, are for limiting the Second Amendment, support declassifying gender and sexual roles. Hillary Clinton supports third-trimester abortions. These babies are viable if only “allowed” to be born. Declassifying gender only confuses children more; see the Wausau School District’s new bathroom policy. We need to build our military strength. Free college and Obamacare, among other things, are promised by Clinton. The tax increases needed to do this will wreck the middle class. Soon we will truly only have two classes; see socialism.
Who do you trust to make America strong again? One thing’s for certain: I know who I don’t trust. The candidate who openly lied about her email scandal and takes money from countries who support ISIS among other things cannot be trusted to lead our country. Vote Trump this November.

EDITOR: A recent letter from Colleen Janus of Merrill questioned Donald Trump’s use of the phrase “Crooked Hillary” to describe Secretary Clinton, followed by a litany of examples of why she isn’t “crooked.”
Clinton’s work to support the families of the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2011 is cited as one such example.
Donald Trump has never criticized her legitimate work in public service during the past 43 years.
His banter about her being “crooked” has to do with her role in selling nights in the Lincoln Bedroom in the 1990s while first lady for campaign donations, including to foreign nationals, in clear violation of U.S. election laws.
It has to do with her shaming of her husband’s mistresses (and victims) rather than supporting their claims about Bill’s peccadillos.
It has to do with her refusal to acknowledge she missed the metaphorical 3 a.m. call from Libya on the night of September 11, 2012, resulting in the deaths of four American heroes, plus Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
It has to do with her destruction of 33,000 emails from her private server and the cover-up of her role in exposing classified secrets to American enemies.
And it has to do with how she, while Secretary of State, sold access to homophobic, misogynistic regimes hostile to the U.S.
Donald Trump may not be the most eloquent speaker or prepared debater, but after more than four decades, I have Clinton fatigue.

Trump can't be blamed for today's problems
EDITOR: I can’t read the newspaper or watch television without seeing or hearing something negative about Donald Trump. And no it’s not always self-inflicted. Yes, he is rich, arrogant, opinionated, gruff and outspoken to say the least.
But, Donald Trump did not: raise our taxes, quadruple the price of food, start a race war, leave any U.S. soldiers in Benghazi to be slaughtered and desecrated by terrorists, send the U.S. Navy to fight for Syrian Al-Qaida, arm ISIS who exterminated Christians throughout the Middle East, betray Israel, provide financing and technology to Iran's nuclear weapons program, give our military secrets to China, shrivel our military, and betray our veterans, cripple our economy, increase our debt to $20 trillion , ruin our nation’s credit, double the African American unemployment rate compared to the white unemployment rate, allow a large number of illegal immigrants to enter the U.S. which decreases the amount of dollars available for our most needy and for legal immigrants, increase welfare to a record level for eight years, free all of the terrorists in Guantanamo bay, bypass Congress by making presidential executive orders one of which was not upheld by the Supreme Court and establish Obamacare, which is crippling small business and causing insurance premiums to skyrocket.
Please vote. Let your conscience be your guide. But don’t blame Trump for the problems our nation is facing today. He did not cause these problems and we all know who did. Enough of the status quo.
