Better off with Trump than Clinton

Re Pat Gartrell letter, March 30:

The writer is troubled that Donald Trump may be elected the next president, that Mr. Trump has no political experience, no concept of diplomacy, and is the laughing stock of the entire world.

My reply to that concern is that in 2008, and again in 2012, we elected a president who met all of those shameful and unfit qualifications.

What should concern us even more is that Hillary Clinton may be elected the next president. Ms. Clinton is known for her ability to misrepresent the truth and to favor open immigration.
