Letter: Tired of anti-Trump rhetoric

I’m weary of the excessive (compulsive) anti-Trump editorials. The American form of government was designed to allow fair and equitable criticism of presidential candidates. Journalists, especially, should not give one-sided rants against one candidate. It seems some politicians and journalists will lose their privileged positions should their party lose.

I believe politicians who are lying are a great threat to the nation. Also, the use of kids to protest is despicable, since they know so little about fair play and the democracy of government. Yes, Virginia, despite us having the best form of government, we have some shallow-minded, self-serving people who want to be seen as elite.
