Letter: Trump is worst of them all

Donald Trump very adroitly took advantage of the widespread disgust with the clammy castrati/K Street puppets of the establishments of both political parties. His main problem, however, is that he is an ego-maniacal jackass.

The only way I would vote for the critter would be if he by hook or crook should get the Republican nomination. If that were to occur, I would have to do so holding my nose.

When he calls Megyn Kelly a “bimbo” and Charles Krauthammer a “moron,” I’m through with him. He’s also turned into a public “potty mouth.” We also don’t need another devious narcissist in the Oval Office.

Take a good look at the other Republican options. Any one of them would be far and away superior to that congenital liar (Hillary Clinton) whose only “accomplishments” have been the rise of Vladimir Putin after the “reset” and the ceding to Iran and the Muslim Brotherhood a good part of the Middle East. Throw in her Benghazi “accomplishment” and you have the complete picture.

Equally unsatisfactory would be that flaky socialist (Bernie Sanders), who seems to appeal to a dependent constituency with more free stuff than any other Democrat. Get to the polls and also go to war against those judicial and congressional capons actively destroying our country.
