Letter: Six reasons for doubters to vote Trump

If you are a Republican unhappy about who won the nomination, or a Democrat who is distrustful of, and disgusted by, your candidate — or maybe you can’t stand either of them — here are six reasons why you should not stay home on Election Day.

1. Bernie Sanders moved Hillary Clinton far to the left on climate change, socialized medicine, taxes, and deficit spending, and forced the Democrats to adopt a socialist platform. It’s not the Democratic Party you used to know.

2. Do you want Clinton to pick the next four Supreme Court justices whose opinions will impact this country for the next 50 years? Think about it.

3. With a Clinton presidency and a liberal court, you could see the end of Second Amendment rights.

4. Whatever Clinton does, she will always be tainted by the ongoing scandals that have followed her throughout her life. She has been shown to be a chronic liar, and you will never be able to believe her … ever.

5. Our standing in the world has been seriously weakened. Clinton has been part of an ongoing disastrous foreign policy. Do you want more of the same for the next four years? Can we survive it?

6. And the most important reason: whatever Donald Trump is or may become, he is not Hillary Clinton.

If you stay are home or vote for a third party candidate, it’s the same as a vote for Hillary. Don’t do it.
