Letter to the editor: Trump - The devil is at GOP's door

To the editor:

I was Googling around one evening when I came across how much money Donald Trump has. It was $8.7 billion. I don't care how much money that man has because there is one thing he does not have and cannot buy - class. And I would think that most Americans want a president with class.

Hopefully Republicans will awaken to this cheap, shabby, common, low-life, vermin mouth.

I don't want my president to be a man like that. Oh yes, he can pretend for a while but that vermin mouth takes over. And it is appealing to his follower's base and brutish qualities. His bully personality unleashes dirty politics which unfortunately is nothing new. Nixon had it. He just did it differently.

But we are seeing anarchy growing in Trump's followers as he urges them on with the raised hand for example. He says it doesn't mean anything. I have my doubts. He says he wants to make America great. That's just a code word for making America white - no Muslims, no Mexicans and the blacks are already being held pathetically low.

He and kin like Gov. Scott Walker want to destroy the middle class and they are already doing it. Would you be surprised when I tell you that almost 60 percent of the children in Parkside Elementary school in Monroe are considered economically disadvantaged? It exists in the other two elementary schools as well. Schools feed these children breakfast and lunch and send them home with bucket packs of food for the weekends. Schools are trying to figure out how to feed the children over the summer. And this is America?

One person said to me that she wishes Trump would come here. She said she did not want to vote for him but she wanted see the show. Well we are getting the show and it is getting nastier and nastier as he appeals to his supporter's lowest denominator.

Wake up, Republicans. The devil is at your door.
