But what I want to say, for the record, that I am appalled by the popularity of Republican candidate Donald Trump. The laundry list of things he's said and done that should have disqualified him from office began with his campaign announcement where he called Mexicans rapists and drug dealers and has only gotten worse. I really cannot fathom how people support him, I think he is a truly terrible human being. His campaign has brought out the worst in our fellow Americans, allowing racism and sexism to be more acceptable. From everything I know about him, his primary mission in life is to make money for himself, at the expense of anyone who gets in his way. He is not someone who is capable of having others' interests at heart. We cannot let this country go backwards in how we treat LGBTQ people, or further erode the rights of non-white Americans. We cannot. We don't need to "Make America Great Again" because it's already great.
Hillary Clinton is not a perfect candidate. But she has lived a life of service to Americans, working to improve the lives of people who need a little bit of extra help. In this election cycle, she has been painted in a negative light for living a life of public service – that really ticks me off. I have seen first-hand how dedicated public servants make a real difference in people's lives. I think the email 'scandal' is a case of much ado about nothing. Benghazi was horrible, but is the unfortunate cost of doing American business internationally – it's not the first time and won't be the last, most likely. She has done the best she can (though I'm guessing if she had it all to do over, she'd probably not set up a server in her home). HRC has my support, and will have my vote tomorrow.
I hope Clinton prevails tomorrow, because I honestly fear for the future of our country should Trump be elected. I just wanted our kids to know that their parents were not 'fans' of Trump....I want you to know we were on the right side of history.
