To the editor: I’ve confronted the fact that Donald Trump will be president for the next four years. There are numerous discussions on what went incorrect and who’s responsible.
With the economic system rebounding effectively after COVID-19, I want to supply another excuse why Vice President Kamala Harris misplaced. Have we not considered the likelihood that her being a lady is why she didn’t beat Trump? I look again to 2016 when then-President Obama left us a great economic system and Hilary Clinton nonetheless misplaced.
There’s a frequent denominator. We apparently don’t contemplate a lady of decency extra succesful than a person who demeans everybody for his personal profit and, this time, ran to remain out of jail.
Sometime, I hope we are able to regain our ethical compass as a rustic and vote for the one who is most worthy of the presidency.

To the editor: I’m a registered Republican. I’m not an enormous Trump fan, however I need to inform you why I voted for him based mostly on my priorities.
First, the economic system. Democrats have been attempting to inform the general public that the economic system is nice when it’s not. Rising costs of 20% on key gadgets inside a number of years is completely ridiculous.
Second, the scenario on the U.S.-Mexico border is unacceptable. Now we have costs rising and Individuals residing on the streets, and the Biden administration oversaw the doorway of hundreds of thousands of individuals into this nation illegally. This has precipitated extra spending on areas not prioritized by voters.
Third, the media, particularly the previous couple of months. They should begin reporting info with out remark and let the folks type their very own opinions.
Fourth, the prosecution of Trump when he was operating for president. I noticed and heard from a lot of my Republican buddies that this was main situation for them, and it backfired on the administration.

To the editor: Having spent my profession as a lawyer in Detroit representing working folks, I’ve a reasonably good concept what the lunch-pail guys suppose is necessary.
Greater than two weeks earlier than the election, I wrote Harris’ marketing campaign to say that she couldn’t win the election based mostly on abortion rights, defending democracy or arguing that Trump was unstable. I urged the marketing campaign to run an advert through which Harris speaks immediately into the digicam to elucidate why inflation was low below Obama and the primary Trump administration, why it spiked, and what particularly she would do to assist. And to play that advert continuously.
After all, I’m a no person, and the somebodies thought that the outrageous remarks of a comic would flip Latino voters in Pennsylvania.
Democrats stay guided by coastal elites. We’ll hear that Harris misplaced due to racism and misogyny within the blue-wall states. However a lot of these of us would inform you they voted for Obama; others will level to the mixed-race member of the family they dearly love.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will get it. A celebration that stopped listening to the working class can’t anticipate to maintain receiving its votes.

To the editor: When the overwhelming majority of Individuals choose a convicted felon to Harris, it’s greater than apparent that she was a poor selection as a candidate and the Democrats ran one of many worst campaigns ever.
Who would have guessed that mendacity about President Biden’s psychological capabilities, refusing to have an open conference to appoint a candidate, refusing to permit even one Palestinian to talk on the conference, supporting fracking, going after the Cheney vote and aiding the slaughter of hundreds of kids within the Gaza Strip wouldn’t be a profitable marketing campaign mixture?
