Richter: Look at candidates’ records instead of listening to rhetoric

In response to the Navy veteran whose mother told her to vote for anyone but Donald Trump: It’s a shame people don’t look at the record rather than repeat what the very biased media says (“America can do better than Donald Trump”).

How is a man who had this country in the best financial shape ever, had secured borders and had foreign enemies afraid to attack us the lesser choice? You have bought into the political lies, and you refuse to see the truth. If you can explain how I am better off now than four years ago, please try.

It’s time to take the blinders off. You may not like the man, but I sure want him to run my country over someone who really isn’t running it now. Your reason for not voting for Donald Trump is not a reason but an excuse.
