Larry Hunter: Voting for Hillary would be an act of insanity

Albert Einstein summed up the American people in stating: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results.”

We continued to vote the same people into office and there is no change. The people holding these offices are best described as professional politicians and elitists and lawyers who tell us they are the best to represent us as we are too ignorant and stupid to hold these offices.

The Democrats are the most blatant. Considering their history of supporting slavery, not allowing Blacks to vote or own property and considering them to be animals, I find this ironic. This is like Adolf Hitler committing genocide and then claiming to support the Jewish people.

While Donald Trump’s brain doesn’t engage when his mouth does, he is still a better person than Hillary Clinton will ever be. Her close ties to the Muslim world and money amassed by the Clinton Foundation, along with her failure and disregard for American lives in Benghazi, her handling of classified materials and her constant lying makes her unfit to hold any office. If she wins, God help us. This country will be lost and what I fear for my grandchildren will be a reality

Larry Hunter, Modesto
