The American voter has an extremely difficult choice in this fall’s election. There is “crooked” Hillary Clinton. I believe her reprehensible record as Secretary of State, which has been given a very liberal coat of “white wash,” has already proven Hillary to be unfit to be president. Hillary is irresponsible and incompetent, with a flagrant disregard for national security — proven by Hillary’s use of an unsecured email server to transmit classified material, which is a felony. Hillary is also responsible for the results of the Benghazi embassy attack, by not authorizing military action to defend the embassy, which is U.S. territory.

Then there’s “loud-mouth” Trump. Trump seems to antagonize people whenever he speaks. I believe Donald has talked himself out of the presidency. I feel electing either of these candidates would give the American people a very ineffective president, a continuation of the last eight years.

I’ve noticed that most of the national news media reports about Trump have been negative. While the news media has suppressed of omitted any negative reports about Hillary, including her deplorable record and performance as secretary of state. With the news media’s help Hillary should be elected president.
