Uncommon Common Sense

If you read my column/blog regularly, you know how I feel about Donald Trump. I haven't changed my mind but I have decided afters months of agonizing mental debates that I am going to vote for him. I vote knowing that he is not the moral leader I would like to assume the reigns of the Presidency. I vote hoping that his moral compass is only bent and not broken.

If ever there were a more glaring example of the systemic loss of national integrity in the United States, it is the Presidential Election of 2016.
