Letters: The only one insulting people is Trump

In his March 16 letter, “Don’t forget Haley, Graham insults,” Bill Groome suggested that by opposing Donald Trump, Gov. Nikki Haley and Sen. Lindsey Graham were insulting his supporters. Really? Did they use words like “liar,” “loser,” “idiot” and “pansy” to describe his supporters? No, they didn’t.

Donald Trump applies those words to anyone who disagrees with him. Why the double standard?

The more I hear from Trump, and from his supporters, the more glad I am that I voted for Ben Carson. The prospect of a Trump-Clinton presidential race is downright sickening.
