Trump may be last chance

The left is up in arms about Donald Trump’s “locker room” conversation as a private citizen 11 years ago. According to them, this and some other utterances disqualify him as a candidate.

However, when Bill Clinton seduced an intern while occupying the White House, some in the left and its media enablers instructed us that it was a private matter between consenting adults. Hillary Clinton stood by him and was praised as a faithful spouse. She denigrated the women in his extramarital affairs, one of whom alleged rape.

We have a choice between a Washington insider with a track record of deceit, cover-ups and decisions that cost American lives versus a successful father and executive with no government experience but who promises to root out corruption, reduce taxes and regulation and put more people to work.

Corrupt Washington, both Democrat and Republican, are allied against Trump. This may be our last chance to challenge it.
