Diehl letter: No to Trump

Since he declared his candidacy Trump has demonstrated that he lacks the temperament, knowledge, steadiness and honesty that Americans need from their president. Whether through indifference or ignorance, Trump has betrayed fundamental commitments, unwavering support for NATO allies and steadfast opposition to Russian aggression. Paul Ryan said Trump’s attacks on a federal judge of Mexican heritage fits the definition of a racist.
