We are all going to be losers this election

To the Editor:

Thank you for your honest opinion regarding Trump running for our highest office (www.smokymountainnews.com/opin-ion/item/18589). I respect your bravery to be open about how you feel, and wanted you to know that there are many of us who tried to be fair, give him an opportunity even though he has no political experience, but he has pushed the limits too far for any sensible person to even consider voting for him. 

That is a scary thought when you see hundreds of normally reasonable citizens turning a deaf ear/blind eye to what he is saying and doing. I have never felt so sick about a political personality having the opportunity to be our president. Even though there were many I did not feel would be the right choice, it never scared me like this one does. This time I feel that there is not a good choice, there are issues with both candidates and despite who is the winner, we are going to all be losers.

I appreciate your comments, and thank you.
