Sanders for president

Older Republicans will now have to hold their noses and vote for Donald Trump. The younger generation needs Trump to create good jobs just to pay for the inflationary cost of living.

The Democrats will vote for Hillary Clinton like a bunch of lemmings and go off the financial cliff into a depression. The younger generation should know that the Democrats before them built this nation into a working force. And women had more opportunities to become managers, engineers, doctors and lawyers. Then old Bill Clinton let the jobs go to other countries — the biggest mistake in U.S. history.

As for Trump and Clinton, it’s all about their own egos. I will vote for Bernie Sanders because all the people need someone to look out for their best interests and the future of the United States. Who better than a wise old Jewish man who knows about money and wars?
