Despite our freedom of speech, it is neither nice nor friendly to say the supporters of Donald John Trump are lacking in gray matter. But, to tell you the truth, I don’t know of a more courteous way of putting it.

Tell you what, people: to expect a demagogue, misogynist, racist, habitual liar with illusions of grandeur to be a just and magnanimous ruler within the restrictions of a constitutional democracy is nothing but lunacy.

Yeah, I agree — Cruz would have been worse, so we won’t be getting the worst of the worst with Trump. Still, putting Trump in the White House means we will have a buffoon with his finger on the nuclear trigger. Now do you know how he will get Mexico to pay for the wall?

It may sound weird to you but, given Trump, the smart thing would be to hold your nose and vote for Hillary. You don’t have to tell anyone.
