Trump is the clear choice over Clinton

This November, I will be voting in my 17th presidential election. Yes, 68 years of good, bad and mediocre results from that office.

The current president has reduced our great nation into one of ridicule and retreat. I would rather have a bull in a China shop than a snake in the grass. He might break a few dishes but he will carry the constitution in one hand and the American flag in the other. Trump will be guided by Congress and adhere to our laws.

Another four years of Democratic ineptitude is not an option.
