Not One Former President.
Neither of the last Two
Republican Nominees.
Not one of them will endorse Trump
(c) 2016
In recent years, Republicans and Democrats haven’t agreed on much. But there’s one area where every living, former president, Republican and Democrat, have found something to agree on. They all agree that Donald Trump is unqualified and unfit to be president of the United States.
Those former presidents include Carter, Bush Sr., Clinton, and Bush Jr. The current president, Barack Obama, has also weighed in, and he thinks Trump is unqualified to lead this great country as well. If anyone understands the demands of the presidency and what it takes, it’s a former president.
These men have been there and done that. They know what the job entails, and all agree Donald Trump would be an embarrassment and a disaster as president. Moreover, knowing Trump’s history, he would use the presidency to line his pockets.
That said, read the following comments on those seeking your vote:
Jimmy Carter on Hillary Clinton:
“I've known Hillary for decades — and her record as a public servant is superb. In 1977, I appointed her to the board of the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), a nonprofit that provides legal assistance to Americans in need — she went on to become the first woman to chair the board. Over her tenure, funding for the LSC tripled, allowing the organization to expand legal aid to every congressional district, and handle 1.5 million cases for poor clients each year. As First Lady, Clinton continued to advocate for legal services funding.”
Mitt Romney on Trump:
“If we make improvident choices, the bright horizon I foresee will never materialize. Let me put it plainly, if we Republicans choose Donald Trump as our nominee, the prospects for a safe and prosperous future are greatly diminished.
“A few examples: His proposed 35% tariff-like penalties would instigate a trade war that would raise prices for consumers, kill export jobs, and lead entrepreneurs and businesses to flee America.
“His tax plan, in combination with his refusal to reform entitlements and to honestly address spending would balloon the deficit and the national debt. So even as Donald Trump has offered very few specific economic plans, what little he has said is enough to know that he would be very bad for American workers and for American families.
“But wait, you say, isn't he a huge business success that knows what he's talking about? No he isn't. His bankruptcies have crushed small businesses and the men and women who worked for them. He inherited his business, he didn't create it. And what ever happened to Trump Airlines? How about Trump University? And then there's Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks, and Trump Mortgage? A business genius he is not.”
Michelle Obama on Trump:
“If a candidate is erratic and threatening; if a candidate traffics in prejudice, fears and lies on the campaign trail; if a candidate thinks that not paying taxes makes you smart, or that it’s good business when people lose their homes; if a candidate regularly and flippantly makes cruel and insulting comments about women, about how we look, how we act — well, sadly, that’s who that candidate really is,” Mrs. Obama told an audience of mostly students at La Salle University in Philadelphia. “That is the kind of president they will be.”
Trump’s appeal is really not about him; it’s about bigots and their desireisn’t based on his competence or lack thereof. It’s based largely on racial prejudice. It’s based on the racial prejudice Republicans have stoked throughout Pres. Obama’s terms, and it’s based on a prejudice that’s aimed at others who are not white.
In exchange for making bigots feel “normal,” Trump supporters... <<<<<< N.B from Jumbotweet: auto-truncated at 4K characters on index page - Click here or on the "view" link to see entire jumbotweet! http://www.jumbotweet.com/ltweets/view/174735
Imagine this. Every living, ex-U.S. president, Republican and Democrat, has endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump.
A lot of discussion has been devoted to why Donald Trump would be bad for America, and he certainly would be bad for this country. His brand of politics has brought division, hatred and bigotry. America can be better than that.
But let’s focus on why Ms. Clinton would be better for America than Trump.
Clinton has a history of involvement in progressive issues: women’s rights, civil rights, voting rights, and children’s rights.
Moreover, this is not a run-of-the-mill election.This is a time of deep political, social, economic, and racial divisions the likes we haven’t seen in decades. Many of those divisions began nearly eight years ago by the Republicans against Pres. Obama not to mention the economic mess they left the country in after Bush left office.
Clinton has run a campaign that promises a brighter future for Americans compared to the doom and gloom promoted by Trump and the Republicans. She is appealing to the best in Americans and is refusing to use race, religion, or demogogue propaganda to divide this country.
CLINTON: “From the start, Donald Trump has built his campaign on prejudice and paranoia. He is taking hate groups mainstream and helping a radical fringe take over the Republican party. His disregard for the values that make our country great is profoundly dangerous.
Ms. Clinton once heard Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. speak in 1962. That speech lit a sparked in her. It triggered an awareness and led her to adopt a more progressive outlook on civil rights, social justice and children’s rights.
This is a woman who has consistently shattered glass ceilings.
• She was the first woman named to a full partnership in the Rose Law firm.
• She was the first female board member at WalMart.
• She was the first First Lady to run for office; and she won.
• She has been a U.S. Senator and U.S. Secretary of State.
• If she’s successful in November, she will be the first female president of the United States.
Clinton’s life has been devoted to helping others and making their lives better. By contrast, Trump has devoted his life to just helping Donald Trump.
Clinton would appoint fairer, more progressive judges to the U.S. Supreme Court, and other federal courts. She is in favor of supporting more apprenticeships that could provide Americans with necessary job skills to access jobs that go unfilled because applicants didn’t have the skills.
Hillary Clinton is endorsed by every living ex-president of the United States. She also is endorsed by outstanding Noble Prize winners. She is endorsed by a growing number of Republicans as well, and that should tell you something.They all know the Clinton email controversy has been blown completely out of proportion for political gain.
Hillary Clinton looks like Mother Teresa compared to Trump’s long list of abominations, which includes his slimy, gutter disrespect for women and treating them like sex toys.
This man has been documented as a liar. He dodged paying federal taxes and bragged that not doing so made him smart. He claims to be a great businessman, but nearly all of his businesses have gone bankrupt. He is claiming to support the “little guy.” But there’s no history of him supporting anyone during his 70 years other than himself. If nothing else, Trump is a scam artist.
