Hillary Clinton will keep our country together

This is a tough election! Since I am retired, I have been able to watch almost all of the presentations regarding Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, so I know that he is dangerous and unpredictable.

Even “ his people” can’t impact his temperament easily. I do not want him to have the nuclear code.

I get it that some people do not trust Hillary Clinton, mainly because of her use of the email process. I can only trust the good things she has done over many years and compare that to Trump’s problematic relationships with people.

If anything comes out of her use of email, it can be handled appropriately in the future. The Watergate problem was resolved after Richard Nixon’s election/resignation with Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller giving us solid leadership. I would rather have Tim Kaine take over than Donald Trump be president. We are facing a Lincoln moment in our history. Clinton will keep our country together.

Trump, by his very nature, divides us.
