Letters: Trump is nasty, but Clinton is dangerous

There are vastly more important things in this election than Donald Trump’s (and Hillary Clinton’s) potty mouth, such as the Supreme Court, immigration and taxes. Most men have engaged in the sort of talk that Trump did at some point, but most of us outgrew it long before reaching Trump’s age.

If Clinton admits a million Muslims, who have been taught all their lives that followers of other religions, homosexuals and others should be killed, how many innocent American lives will be taken? If you are considering voting for her, how many dead countrymen will be acceptable to you so that you can feel good about denying the presidency to a nasty man?

If you want to turn this country over to Clinton and her minions just because her opponent is a boor and a vulgarian, go ahead. You will probably have 20 years or more to live with the results.
