OPINION:
Donald Trump is a loose cannon, exploiting American angst, and he is oblivious to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aggression. Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Obama are the team that disassembled the Middle East and abandoned Israel, Ukraine and NATO, while surrendering to terrorism.
Indeed, Mr. Obama reduced our nuclear power by 90 percent (from Ronald Reagan’s 15,000 warheads we are now at to 1,500) while making a bad deal that will allow Iran to become a nuclear-weapons power assisted by Putin. This will lead to the potential of nuclear war.
Clearly America has reached critical mass, and the 2016 presidential election is vital to our survival. The direction of leadership must be turned around, but not by a dangerous Donald Trump or a corrupt Hillary Clinton. That leaves the right choices against terrorism and for the economy to the voters, who must elect a presidential team from candidates such as Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Chris Christie and Mike Huckabee to lead us to safety, security and prosperity. We also need a Congress that will aggressively represent the best interests of the American people rather than its own selfish interests.
