Letter: Trump not prepared for presidency

Hillary Clinton is tough, smart and experienced. She was an active part of her husband's presidency and later served her country as a senator and as Secretary of State. But, she can be arrogant and aloof and when she tries not to be, insincere and patronizing.
Businessman Donald Trump has not served his country in any way. He did, however, express his appreciation for military service by calling John McCain a 'loser” for having been shot down over Vietnam and surviving five and half years as a POW. You're welcome.
The list of prominent Republicans against Donald Trump is unprecedented. Neither of our living, Republican former presidents will endorse him. Nor will former presidential Republican candidate Mitt Romney. Former Secretary of State Colin Powell described Trump as a 'national disgrace and an international pariah.”
Conservative Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer, a psychiatrist, has called Donald Trump 'temperamentally unfit.”
USA Today, who has never before endorsed a presidential candidate has officially and unanimously endorsed Hillary Clinton, calling Trump 'Unfit for the Presidency.”
Who does like presidential candidate Donald Trump? The KKK. The American Nazi party. Russian strong-arm leader Vladimir Putin. North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. Nice company.
You know, I have never been a big fan of Hillary Clinton much either. But this isn't a vote for Miss Congeniality. This is a vote to determine the leader of the free world for the next four years. And we need to vote like responsible adults, for a responsible adult.
