Trump was a much better choice than Hillary
Re “You chose Trump because he’s crude and corrupt” letter by Wendy Marcinkiewicz.
The writer claims a previous writer calling Trump a carnival barker was off the mark. She claims those who voted for him got what they voted for and that he was voted for because he is neither black nor a woman.

Then, like a good politician, he says, "It's their fault!
