Judy Baker: Both major candidates are deplorable

Who is the best presidential candidate between the two top candidates? Both are deplorable! One committed atrocious sins against women while in private business while the other committed atrocious crimes while being a public servant, working for the people (that’s us, folks). Don’t forget, lives were lost on her watch.

Now we see the president’s wife speaking about the morally and disgusting things Donald Trump has done. She is right. However, this same Michelle Obama was the one who spoke during her husband’s campaign in 2008 and stated that was the first time she was proud of our country! The first time, really? She better visit Arlington National Cemetery and view the graves of those souls who gave her the right to speak so freely.

She should take Hillary with her.

Judy Baker, Ripon
