Letter: Why Hillary cannot be president

Donald Trump became the Republican nominee for president because the American people are tired of politicians promising and not delivering.

He’s not part of the Washington elite establishment who are terrified of losing power resulting from a Trump victory. He’s a successful businessman, generating thousands of jobs.

Hillary Clinton has been part of the elite establishment for 35 years. She is corrupt. Her life has been full of scandals, deception and lies. She would do anything for money, i.e., renting the Lincoln bedroom. Some of her scandals extend from Whitewater, Benghazi, transmitting top-secret and classified emails on her private server and the Clinton Foundation debacles.

She’s lied under oath to Congress and the FBI regarding transmission of top-secret and classified emails. In her interview with the FBI, she couldn’t remember answers to 40 questions. She is an attorney, was a senator and held the third most powerful position in the U.S. as Secretary of State — and claimed memory loss. She’s either incompetent or a congenital liar. She claims memory loss and wants to hold the most powerful job in the world.

As Secretary of State, while being paid by taxpayers, she sold her time to lobbyists and foreign countries. She hasn’t been prosecuted because she has the protection of the Obama administration. As a U.S. attorney, current FBI Director James Comey prosecuted Martha Stewart for lying about insider trading, but Hillary is running for president. There’s something wrong with this scenario.

Don’t look at Trump’s personality, look at his platform.
