A vote for Trump flies in the face of the very principles this country was founded upon

What is wrong with this country? The Republican Party’s nominee for President is a convicted felon who has even more felony indictments pending . There are civil judgments against him and his questionable business ventures. Based on all of this, if he applied for federal employment, Donald Trump would not be eligible for any position. How it is possible he is eligible to run for the ultimate federal position?

To those who claim the New York fraud case was an unfair trial , consider this. Trump’s trial was held in his hometown. The documents used as evidence against him were from his own business records. The witnesses called were his own friends, associates and employees. A jury of his peers considered the evidence and found him guilty. The United States operates on the rule of law, a political ideal that all citizens and institutions within this country are accountable to the same laws. A vote for Trump is an affront to this ideal and flies in the face of the very principles this country was founded upon. Can’t bring yourself to vote for Harris? Then skip this race and vote in the rest. We can’t go back.
