We must move beyond hate

Seventy-five years ago we saw hatred spewed over Europe in a devastating and tragic holocaust. Some of the most sad and shameful days in United States history was right here. Do we want to repeat that hatred? Racism is for the ignorant and hatred is found in ignorance. Do we want to repeat that way of thinking? You never gain any ground using hatred and bullying intimidation. Please people, wake up. We need a tactful and strong leader for our country, not a hate monger.

Our economy was good during President Bill Clinton’s terms in office and Hillary was his first lady. If we put Hillary in office, we will get Bill Clinton. Let’s get back to that mindset for our country.

Also, no matter what any candidate promises, they will not succeed unless they 1. Follow their party platform. 2. Be approved by Congress.
