Donald Trump is a failed leader- echo letter from Pennsylvania

Vote against Trump and Republicans on Nov. 6

Those who defending Donald Trump and the Republicans on Capitol Hill are bewildering. 

Trump portrays himself as an alternative (?) to Washington-as-usual, but, in fact, he's the epitome of entitled elitism. 

Republicans assume to speak for all Americans. But Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million. What baffles me is that anyone actually believes them.

Trump brags of tax evasion and broken contracts as winning and good business. He brazenly defies emoluments laws for personal profit as the shameless Republicans look the other way.

He labels trusted media as "fake," while clinging to disingenuous Fox.

For criticizing and investigating, Trump demonizes the free press and Department of Justice, institutions that preserve our democracy.

Trump falsely promises revival of polluting coal power at the sake of clean renewable solar and wind.

He pledges to protect Social Security and Medicare, while gifting the wealthy a 1.5 trillion dollar tax windfall. Now those safety net programs are in the crosshairs of Republican cuts.

Most frightening, Trump recklessly disregards our planet's welfare, snubbing the Paris Climate Accord and dismantling environmental regulations. Future generations will face unthinkable climate cataclysm and enormous debt.

Trump is not one of us, nor even cares about us. He is motivated by vanity, power and greed. He is empowered by Republicans who do not speak for most Americans. Americans must retrieve our country. A good start is to vote blue November 6. 

(MaineWriter: In other words, vote against Donald Trump's failed leadership!)
