To the editor: Thanks for working 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 cause why Trump’s candidacy needs to be doomed: the fomenting of a televised riot on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. He whipped up a human frenzy based mostly 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 Instances for publishing Jennings’ piece. Occasionally, The Instances publishes ideas from the suitable for readers to contemplate.
I’ve grown so bored with wading by way of the closely left-slanted articles and columnists simply to get to the Sports activities part.
Jennings’ article might be one in all my final reads in The Instances. After 50-plus years of studying (starting at age 12, ending at 64), I canceled my subscription final week. I don’t wish to help 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 Social gathering.
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 task 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 by day and have since 1979. Jennings’ article is solely essentially the most wonderful opinion piece you’ve got ever printed.
Jennings both doesn’t hearken 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. Possibly he ought to simply pay attention as a vp, former California legal professional basic and former U.S. senator exhibits why she is definitely extra ready to steer the nation than a racist enterprise cheat.
Do some 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 overlooked the truth that Trump’s personal former White Home officers are calling him a fascist and saying he’s not match for the presidency. Has this ever occurred in Jennings’ lifetime?
His omission speaks volumes.
