The 17 republican Presidential candidates were so self destructive Donald Trump emerged as their party's presumptive nominee. And now it seems Trump himself may just self destruct. The party has no integrity left, no common sense, no claim to civility and no sense of policy. Trump and the GOP have lost sense of what America and its political system is all about. The GOP in congress refused to work with the President on day one and turned their backs on the people of America. They are now united behind Trump and have turned their backs on the people once again.
Every day Trump is involved in some inflammatory remarks about some one and rolls back to some degree the integrity that Presidential candidates should strive for. He lacks the skills for human behavior and masks his inability to be a productive voice for the people. George W. Bush called himself the decider and failed that big time. Trump is the divider and does not believe in a "united" states.
Hillary Clinton has taken much personal abuse from the republicans, conservative journalists and the major news media also has piled it on and it started when she came to the White House with husband Bill Clinton. But through all the years she has been a steady voice for public service, served in the U.S. Senate for 8 years and was secretary of state for 4 years. She is a wife, mother, parent and grandmother. Through all the years of personal attacks she has shown courage, character and the will to defend herself and her family. She is a person who believes in people being united, not divided and has never been afraid to make public her tax returns.
Hillary is a person of compassion who has always stood up for all Americans. She has the political understanding to make government work for the good of the country and its people. She is a person who can live very comfortable financially outside of politics but she truly believes public service is a noble cause and opportunity to do good things for the country and its people. The Presidency is a place for serious public service and not a show off platform for inflammatory statements that divide and separate its people.
This writer believes Hillary Clinton is indeed the "stand out" Presidential candidate in this years election and the one person with the best all around qualifications and temperament to lead the United States and its people for the next four years.
Note: As this writer predicted in a previous commentary, Speaker of the U.S. House Paul Ryan has thrown his support behind Donald Trump and has urges his fellow GOP to do the same thing.
