Letters to the Editor

Republicans, not Democrats, are embarrassing nation

I am writing this letter in response to a letter from Mike Kantor in the March 28 Herald. I don't know what TV station he is watching or what paper he is reading, but that the Democrats are throwing tantrums is way off.

Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and all the others that have fallen by the wayside are the absolute best thing that could happen to the Democratic Party. We have two candidates who are not only respectful to each other but to all ethnic people.

Meanwhile, the Republicans have candidates who are comparing their male attributes and posting pics of each other's wives (which is totally uncalled for) and calling each other liars.

I can only imagine what other countries are thinking about our politicians.

You might want to listen to Trump's rhetoric of hate of one main nationality and building a massive armed forces and attacking other countries, if they make him mad. Then watch the History Channel and listen to a man named Adolf Hitler and his hatred for the Jewish people which, by the way, was his way of uniting the German people to follow his destruction of countries and lives.

Donald Trump has already started people hating Muslims and other immigrants.
