I used to think Trump was pretending to be insane just to lose the election. [View all]

I see now that he wasn't pretending.

But what does it say about a nation that rejects the most qualified candidate to elect someone who says and does the things Trump did? It really isn't that he tried to pretend to be qualified or worthy of the Presidency. He did everything he could to tell us he was unfit for the office.

And even now, what does it say about the people who insist that he is doing great things, is stable, is accomplishing wonderful things for the country, is deserving of respect and cooperation?

If we aren't seeking ways to remove an insane person from office we are not doing our job to protect this nation. If we aren't going out of our way to inform the uninformed we aren't protecting the nation. If we don't get out and vote in 2018 and 2020 and vote to cleanse our government, from the Presidency on through both houses of Congress, of the stench of a Trump administration and a GOP controlled Congress we are not protecting our nation.

These are not just scary times. These are sad times.
