Here's something unusual for the WashPost. Usually, they normally wait until the last week or so before an election to make an endorsement. They take Trump to task for a variety of transgressions that render him not only unsuitable, but dangerous, to our country. I fully concur.

"While developer Donald Trump was busy getting the Republican Party’s presidential nomination this week, he was losing big in a Miami-Dade County courtroom.

Circuit Court Judge Jorge Cueto, presiding over a lawsuit related to unpaid bills brought by a local paint store against the Trump National Doral Miami golf resort, ordered the billionaire politician’s company to pay the Doral-based mom-and-pop shop nearly $300,000 in attorney’s fees.

All because, according to the lawsuit, Trump allegedly tried to stiff The Paint Spot on its last payment of $34,863 on a $200,000 contract for paint used in the renovation of the home of golf’s famed Blue Monster two years ago."

These are the people that would do anything to prevent Hillary from becoming President, so by default Trump gets to be President regardless of who and what he is. And on the Dem side, the reverse ia true.

'Is Donald Trump a Racist?'

"HAS the party of Lincoln just nominated a racist to be president? We shouldn’t toss around such accusations lightly, so I’ve looked back over more than 40 years of Donald Trump’s career to see what the record says.


One early red flag arose in 1973, when President Richard Nixon’s Justice Department — not exactly the radicals of the day — sued Trump and his father, Fred Trump, for systematically discriminating against blacks in housing rentals.


I’ve waded through 1,021 pages of documents from that legal battle, and they are devastating. Donald Trump was then president of the family real estate firm, and the government amassed overwhelming evidence that the company had a policy of discriminating against blacks, including those serving in the military."

The judges are both Hispanic. Trump can't get a fair shake from either of them.

Nobody who needs to read that will bother.

Really, the problem isn't Trump. It's Trump's "fans". Even if Trump loses the election, we'll still have to deal with them.
