Dear All Republicans, I do not hate you. Not at all. We need more than “one side” in this country. I am upset that you stood behind a human being like Trump. You elected a man to the highest office of the greatest nation in the history of the planet who spews hate and division. That’s what I’m upset with.

(And no, my daughter isn’t in any kind of trouble. She’s not drinking. She’s got a good head on her shoulders. Way better than I did at her age.) *** jmitchem
You’ve seen it a million times already–in their recent Presidential debate, Clinton was ripping into Trump when Trump muttered to the camera, “Such a nasty woman.” It was a stupid thing to say for obvious reasons, but had he changed one word it could have made a world of difference.
