Nominees for 2016 are a disappointment
TO THE EDITOR:
The 2016 Presidential Election has been plagued with controversy and rash illogical statements not only from the former Republican hopefuls, but also from provocative billionaire and Republican nominee, Donald Trump. He lacks any type of political experience and it is alarming that he is the Republican nominee.
What’s even more surprising is the clear dismissal of Senator Bernie Sanders during the race to the Democratic nomination. He could have easily capitalized off of the perception that his goals were “too left,” but he chose not to subdue to a dire attempt to seek the media’s attention. Despite Bernie Sanders’ being considered a left wing populist, he was (and still is) preferable to Donald Trump. It is essential in times of despair not to allow such a radical individual to reach the Oval Office.
We, the people, must use insight and carefully evaluate all candidates regardless of party affiliations to avoid a reign parallel to that of Nazi Germany occurring in the United States.
