[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trump is good at talking in a way that gets people all excited. But he sucks on execution and follow through.

I am Jewish. Trump wants to label every Muslim in this country, every Mexican (who he assumes is here illegally). My relatives had to wear a star. We know how this story ends. I would not be able to allow people who believe this is a good thing, in my house. The child, sure, but the adults who should know better? No. [/quote]

I'm with you. When we (general) remain silent, we support the oppressive/racist/xenophobic/misogynist viewpoints that are being supported by Trump.

+1 I am not Jewish and I don't mind people with different political views or debating about issues but not Trump. His wall, his label, his dictator behavior, his divisive bullying behavior and his sexist comments are just the tip of the iceberg for me.  Even my own children after hearing him think he is a bad adult role model and they wonder why this is happening.  They really were completely in shock over the Mexican comments and wall and they looked to me with wide eyes for explanation to why this man who wants to be President is saying these horrible things.  I can understand and be completely fine on debating arguments against Hillary but I can not associate or remain silent with someone who supports Trump.  I told my children that I am not a Hillary fan but I will now do everything in my power to volunteer such as the many who volunteered before in 2008. It is important to ensure that Trump does not become leader of the United States.  Sitting back watching and complaining IS NOT an option.  There are only two choices now and we must exercise our vote for the candidate that would do the least amount of damage to our country.    This is all too eerily similar to history some of us seemed to have forgot.
