I find your OP offensive and condescending.
I find nothing unfortunate about my support for and intention to vote for Secretary Clinton to be the next President of the US.
I am a Democrat
I am an elected member of local government
I am on my municipality’s Democratic Town Committee (in CT that also means city)
I am a State delegate.
I think Trump acts like a buffoon and brings down the image of America all over the world. He is a failed businessman, who stiffs working people. He is an adulterer who is thrice married and I don’t want Melania living in the White House. He does not understand foreign policy, he cannot get along with others. His ‘my way or the highway’ attitude will not work in government, we don’t need a dictator.
I have known both Clintons since they were in Law School at Yale more than 45 years ago. They have amazing intellect, are able to work well with those across the aisle and fell she will continue the nation’s rebuilding from the GW Bush recession/depression of 2007/8.
I have had the misfortune of business dealings with Donald Trump. He tried to buy some properties owned by a trust I administer years ago. His word was not reliable and we walked away.
I personally would pay more taxes under a Clinton administration that under plans proposed by Trump. BUT it is not all about me. It is what is best for America and its citizens in the long run.
Trump attracts haters and that is not good for the Jews. This weekend he held a rally within 15 minutes of my home. He attracted white supremacist supporters holding banners stating “Diversity = White Genocide” We as Jews know far too well about genocide (that rally was actually on the 9th of Av). We are a minority that has benefited from the protections of liberal Supreme Court decisions in the application of the Bill of Rights. Mr. Trump wants to build a wall to keep people out. Don’t forget that wall will also keep people in…if you know your history the name for the enclosure is GHETTO.
My family arrived in the USA in 1868. We have fought hard (yes including in the US army in the Spanish American War, World Wars 1&2, Korea and Viet Nam)and domestically to attain social equality, the civil rights act that lets you live where you choose, not be denied employment because of religious beliefs, get prayer out of public schools, etc.
Trump’s policies and beliefs will set us back 100+ years. Don’t sell out for the perceived ‘make us great again’ nonsense. America is Great. We don’t need a return to the 1950s when most of us would not be welcome in most of America.
