Letters to the editor: Choose your next leader wisely
I urge each of you to look at all of the candidates now wanting to be our next president. Think about which of these candidates is best equipped, by personality, by experience, and by past performance, to bring our country out of this cycle. In the process, think about what the country will look like once your candidate is elected and in the White House. Will the great majority of citizens in this country unite behind this new leader? If you believe that the answer is yes, then cast your vote. If you doubt that will happen, please pick another candidate.

Unlike Diane Roberts, I at least offer a viable solution for her problems: Change careers or move to another state.
