TRUMP: For many reasons

| November 2, 2016 9:00 PM

Our family has personally been affected by the so called Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and our monthly premium with Blue Cross Idaho started Jan, 2014 at approximately $363 monthly. The Sept 1, 2016 premium was approximately $559. Doing the math I get a 54 percent increase!

Now we hear that the average increase for 2017 will be another 25 percent, so that would move the needle to 79 percent. The truth is my wife is on Medicare as of 10/1-whew! The question is why would anyone who is subject to Obamacare (do they really care?) vote for the person who wants to continue with it?

Other matters: Hillary wants Late Term Abortion--what’s wrong with delivery and immediate adoption vs the choice to commit murder? Further, Hillary has stated that she wants to appoint several liberal Supreme Court Justices, which I would assume she wants to continue the “radical transformation” of the culture of the U.S.A. Lastly, I believe we need to retain the sovereignty of our nation, not allowing for open borders, which would involve further denigration of our law enforcement folks at all levels, from the FBI/Border Patrol/state and local law enforcement. Sounds like the wild west to me and a continued implosion of our society.

Why would anyone vote for a presidential candidate who would support all of the above? Yes, “locker room” words can be offensive, but actions that hurt people and a nation are abhorrent. We voted via mail for Trump/Pence.
