Letter: Vote for third party is vote for Clinton

Posted
I have been asked a lot about who I am supporting for president, as if it were any doubt about who. I have really lost some Facebook friends and others that I thought were my friends over my support of Donald Trump. It ain't like I started out supporting Trump. In fact, he was down near the bottom of my list of Republicans, but I said in the beginning that I would support the nominee and I am a man of my word. This is unlike some of our candidates. Yes, you know who they are, and you can make up any excuse you want, and they still lied. If you sign a pledge to support someone, then you should be held to that. I did not sign anything, but I gave my word, and I do believe no one could be as bad as Hillary Clinton. I consider her first a liar, and that is being nice. I do believe she could and should have done more to save the lives in Benghazi. I believe that President Obama is as guilty as she is. I also believe that bringing folks from the Middle East to America without proper vetting is wrong and asking for trouble. I believe that Hillary is also a thief by taking money for pay on the Clinton Foundation. I believe she is a criminal and that she should be brought to justice, something that will never happen. To my friends and members of the right who are sitting it out or voting for a third party, I still say you are just helping Clinton. You can say you are not. You can say I can't vote for him and give all the reasons why you are not helping Clinton and it won't fly. You can call all the early Trump supporters and tell all the Republicans that supported him in the Primary they were wrong and blame them but that won't play either. I was a Rubio supporter and proud of it. So I was not on the Trump Team until he won the nomination. I still wish we had someone else because this election would be a piece of cake for the GOP if someone other than Trump had won the nomination but that is not going to happen. If Hillary wins and she is the one to beat, then when she makes those choices for the Court don't blame me. When all hell breaks loose in a hand basket, don't blame me. Hillary is not your friend. She cares nothing for you except your vote. She is no more qualified for president than my dog, Old Red, is. If you pray, then pray for America. MOYE GRAHAM Chairman, Clarendon GOP Manning
