Donald Trump  
                Where can I begin with this man? As a country that tries to base itself on moral integrity, how can we elect a man who has none?  Electing him would only make our problems worse! He has said some of the most racist, sexist, and outright idiotic comments. Not to mention the fact that he has filed for bankruptcy four times! Here are a few examples of Trump saying some outrageous and boneheaded comments
·         “Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.”   ----Huffington Post
·         “Sorry losers and haters, but my I.Q. is one of the highest—and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure. It’s not your fault.”-----  Twitter
·         “Laziness is a trait in blacks.”----- Huffington Post
·         ‘Look at that face... “Would anyone vote for that? Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?!”----- When talking about candidate Fiorina
He has said quote, “John McCain isn’t a war hero; He is a war hero because he was captured? I prefer people who weren’t captured.”  This is just plain and outright disrespectful to all of the servicemen who have served and are now listed MIA. They have shown more courage and faith than Mr. Trump has shown in a lifetime. For him to bash the people who have been captured in war, by saying he prefers the ones that come home not captured, is plain and outright disrespectful. Speaking your mind is one thing, but for him to say these things consistently just says what type of person he is! Just because he is a billionaire doesn’t mean he has the right to be above everyone and say anything he’d like. Being a president comes with some necessary norms. It involves you acting like a civilized and a generally good person. It is like being a player on a team; you represent your town when you put on that jersey. Same with presidency; he is representing the whole country. We can’t have a bigot and sexist man who makes derogatory comments at everyone he sees representing us. There are better options for president! Making America great again won’t start with Trump.   I’ll finish with a quote from Martin Luther King Jr., “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”
