The fuss from the left regarding Trump’s comments about women is the height of hypocrisy. Where was the outrage from the left when President Clinton was exploiting women? Where was the outrage when President Kennedy was exploiting women?

As an independent conservative, not a blindly partisan marionette, I’ve voted D and I’ve voted R, i.e. Kennedy, Nixon, and Clinton (Bill), while knowingly setting their individual morals aside. However, I feel Donald J. Trump and Hillary Rodham Clinton have achieved new heights … world-class sleaze balls. But that fits most, if not all, of the 537 D.C. electeds, does it not? And, paradoxically, who votes them in? Look in the mirror.

I expected Jeb to be the GOP nominee, not The Donald, and I did not want another Bush, or another Clinton, in the White House. So, for whom do I vote? No more Clintons, so I will cast for the other sleaze ball. Yep, I’m an irredeemable deplorable.

Ain’t it something, that out of 325 million (plus or minus) people, these two are the best we can do?

God bless America, and God bless our military.
