Letters: Donald Trump is ultimate RINO

Donald Trump has “seen the light” and become a Republican? Why don’t we just listen to his words — as we should have when Barack Obama was running?

Barack Obama said: “I want to fundamentally change America.” And he did.

Donald Trump says: “I am a deal maker.” His campaign is nothing more than his “deal making” to obtain the presidency. My guess is that he knew the uphill issues Hillary would be facing and came to the conclusion that the Democrats would be an easy target.

When will Americans pay attention?

There should be a test of five questions about this country in order to vote. Getting three right would allow you to vote. That would be 60 percent — a failing mark by school standards, but hey, this is America: We thrive on lowering our standards.
