4. Donald Trump is completely unqualified to be President.

Republicans don't care. His lack of qualifications doesn't matter to them. They just want to stick a thumb in the eye of the nation and gouge it out.

The real problem is that if he were to win, it would mean that turnout was high enough on the GOP side to maintain control of the Senate as well as the House. That would give free rein to the Republicans to roll back any gains we have made in the past eight years. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded.

Voting rights? Gone.
Reproductive choice? Gone.
Equal Pay? Gone.

The list would go on and on. Having Republicans in charge of all three branches of the federal government would result in a new Dark Ages in this country. We need to recognize this and prevent it from happening. If we don't, we'll pay dearly for our pride.
