To the editor: Thanks for operating Scott Jennings’ piece outlining his — and I assume many others’ — rationale for voting for former President Trump.
Jennings acknowledges and but cartoonishly glosses over the one largest motive why Trump’s candidacy ought to be doomed: the fomenting of a televised riot on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He whipped up a human frenzy primarily based on deceit, after which set folks to burn and pillage with no concern for the results.
Somebody like that ought to by no means once more be trusted with delicate intelligence, not to mention the nuclear launch codes. Vice President Kamala Harris is the a lot better selection, and it’s not an in depth name.

To the editor: I wish to thank The Occasions for publishing Jennings’ piece. Now and again, The Occasions publishes ideas from the best for readers to contemplate.
I’ve grown so bored with wading by the closely left-slanted articles and columnists simply to get to the Sports activities part.
Jennings’ article will probably be one among my final reads in The Occasions. After 50-plus years of studying (starting at age 12, ending at 64), I canceled my subscription final week. I don’t wish to assist this liberal rag any longer.

To the editor: Jennings seems to have actuality cataracts clouding his eyes, as he’s both unwilling or unable to see the hypocrisy of the Republican Occasion.
Jennings professes to fret about restrictions on free speech beneath Harris. In the meantime, Trump has referred to as those that problem his positions the “enemy.” He has mused a couple of firing squad being pointed at former Rep. Liz Cheney.
Trump tried to institute a Muslim ban upon taking workplace in 2017. Now he’s pandering for his or her votes.
Hearken to how Trump, his vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance, and their supporters talk about girls, ethnic teams and people coming to American shores as lots of our ancestors did for the chance this nation guarantees.
A president ought to sound like a president: mature, knowledgeable, respectful to his constituents and a job mannequin for all the kids and younger individuals who look as much as “their” president. Would you need these youngsters listening to all these offensive feedback at Madison Sq. Backyard?
Please, get some political cataract surgical procedure.

To the editor: I learn the editorial web page and the letters to the editor day-after-day and have since 1979. Jennings’ article is just probably the most wonderful opinion piece you’ve ever revealed.
Jennings both doesn’t take heed to what both candidate says, or he merely doesn’t take the convicted felon and adjudicated sexual abuser at his phrase.
Concerning Harris not addressing the problems and giving “phrase salad” solutions, perhaps Jennings missed the controversy the place she made a idiot out of Trump together with his lack of solutions, his personal phrase salad and his mendacity. Perhaps he ought to simply pay attention as a vp, former California lawyer common and former U.S. senator reveals why she is definitely extra ready to guide the nation than a racist enterprise cheat.
Perform a little analysis on Trump, and you’ll perceive that he’s principally a mobster masquerading as a businessman.

To the editor: Jennings wrote that Democrats have been calling each Republican candidate a fascist all through his lifetime. Maybe.
Nevertheless, he very importantly disregarded the truth that Trump’s personal former White Home officers are calling him a fascist and saying he isn’t match for the presidency. Has this ever occurred in Jennings’ lifetime?
His omission speaks volumes.
