Letter: Left outnumbers the right

As it stands right now, this will be the most lopsided election in America’s history. The party on the left is now bigger than the one that’s right.

Face facts, folks. Voters for Democrats now outnumber us. Progressive politicians have been stacking the country with users and losers for decades — with millions who use the dole for their livelihood, millions more of illegal immigrants and millions more of improperly educated millennials who can’t explain the difference between socialism and capitalism and side with the former.

Socialism has not been successful in any country on earth. And what is Hillary Clinton’s claim to fame? Don’t ask her. She lies.

Here’s a suggestion. Get to know several of your disadvantaged neighbors. Tell them the survival of our country depends on them. Give them tickets to see the movie “Hillary’s America.” Also, patiently explain the main differences between Republicans and Democrats. Come Election Day, escort them to the polls.

If we can get several million voters to do this, we just might win this thing. Our kids and grandkids will be very appreciative.
