And yet this odious person stands on the precipice of once again occupying the Oval Office. What is wrong with us that this could even be a remote possibility? Has willful ignorance become the norm? I just don’t understand it. And the possibility scares me beyond words. I’m 70 and am not blind to this country’s frailties. But how can this be possible?

I knew what he was back in the 70's when he tried to get a gaming license in Nevada. They knew (and I knew) he was a crook then and denied him of such. When I witnessed his descent down those escalators to announce his run for presidency, I shouted out loud to anyone who could hear me the danger America would be in if we allowed this to happen. I lost several "friends", as well as some family. I have despised him and all he represents for so long. I'm 75 now and in the last few years of my life. He has opened the doors for so many to blatantly hate out loud. I am afraid for our democracy, never imagined I would. I pray for our children and grandchildren. What are we leaving them if we succumb to his depravity and all like him?
