Trump is the clear choice

Doesn't it make sense to elect a smart businessman over a woman who has already had a shot in big government and blew it?

In my opinion, Hillary Clinton has accomplished very little as Secretary of State. And she definitely knew better -- considering the amount of paperwork completed before gaining access to any type of sensitive information -- than to have classified emails on her unsecured server, but she did anyway!

There are very good people in our country, both Democrats and Republicans. For whatever reason, however, the likelihood is increasing for Hillary and Donald to get their respective party's nomination in this presidential election, and we will have to choose one of them.

In my view, Mr. Trump can lead us out of the financial mess that our government has gotten us into during the past decade. I believe Mr. Trump, though not a political insider, will be able to turn things around and make our country respectable and a shining light in the world again.

Don't be fooled by Hillary, her smiles or her manipulations. If you really think that she would make a good president, you will be partly responsible for our demise if she wins!
