At least Trump is trainable; Clinton is down right dangerous

How does the general population feel about the so called conclusion of Email-gate?

The director of the FBI, and those who worked diligently on examining the facts, researching every line of information that was allegedly mishandled, are simply afraid of losing their jobs, let alone their lives.

The current attorney general and her closest advisers are most likely in fear of losing their jobs - or worse - if they were to prosecute. If we go back to the Bill Clinton White House days, there were some mysterious circumstances that resulted in several key individuals deaths.

I hate to be redundant, but things past and things present are just mysterious, especially when the Clintons are involved. In the director's remarks, he mentioned how Mrs. Clinton's attorneys managed to go through the data, and magically their thoughts and information disappeared.

If I made a simple mistake on my income taxes, I would be penalized. If I mishandled sensitive data in my career, I would have at least been strongly reprimanded, took a demotion, and most likely been terminated. If the data that I might have mishandled was such that a competitor would have gained an advantage, I may have been sued.

I'm not a big fan of madame secretary, and I worry to the point of losing sleep over the possibility of this woman becoming our leader and the so-called leader of the free world, which happens to be falling apart, in case you haven't noticed.

I worry also about a Trump presidency. However, there may be a saving grace in his being elected. I believe he is trainable and has good people in his vault of experts who will do an excellent job in making him come to be a fine leader. Yes, there's a lot of showmanship in Mr. Trump, and there are some issues that he has managed to survive. But in the end, I believe he is least of all the evils we face today.

I ask everyone to really consider who is more likely to benefit the United States and the world. Please search your conscience deeply come election day.
