Letter: Vote for Donald Trump and Mike Pence

If you are not voting for Donald Trump and Mike Pence, you are placing our country in grave danger at the hands of Hillary Clinton.

Sure, Trump’s a crude talker — big deal. The alternative is a lying smooth talker who has circumvented the law and enriched herself by selling access and favor to people who are not America’s friends. We do not need another president with no backbone and some crazy liberal agenda that will put you and those you love at peril, both from security and economic standpoints.

The great men of history who defeated those who wished to imperil Americans were men of swift action, men who stood up instead of sitting down, and men who didn’t mince words to placate our enemies in a politically correct manner.

The American way is dying and the Democrats are the undertakers — the ones who will profit off that demise. Don’t let it happen on your watch. Vote for economic prosperity, for global security through strength not submission, and an end to the lawlessness and unrest we have right here at home under President Obama.

We need common-sense warriors, not politicians — vote Trump!

Bruce Stemp, Kennewick
