It occurs to me that maybe those who make their living by writing could create an onslaught of articles like this to counter Trump's lies and hatred and stupidity, using repetition of what is right and good as a push back against the repetition that Trump is using to spread his dismaying dirt and convince people he should be elected.<br /><br />Regarding Dr. Simmons' book, please do let us know when and where we can find it. And what the best way is to buy it, so that the most money ends up in the hands that deserve it. jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-2856717725572734202016-02-22T19:19:45.596-05:002016-02-22T19:19:45.596-05:00She is a light in this world, and I am so proud of...She is a light in this world, and I am so proud of you!<br /><br />I'm not going to comment on that awful man.

There is NO WAY to look at this situation and find anything at all to explain it except pure hate, fear, ignorance and anger. All of the things that your Dr. Simmons fought against her whole life, I am certain. <br />I don't know. It just makes me feel so horrible to think that this many American citizens are so fucked up. I'm sorry, but that's how it is. <br />And how DO we stop him? It is just frightening that he's not been stopped yet. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-52495095502587167872016-02-22T16:22:59.078-05:002016-02-22T16:22:59.078-05:00I don't need to read The Washington Post to kn...I don't need to read The Washington Post to know that I am sick by what is happening in this country. The reality show clown can't find a way to shoot himself in the foot enough to wake up the zombies who are mindlessly following him. If calling all Latinos rapist and murders wasn't enough, claiming he could shoot someone in the head and get away with it should have been. It seems that the only thing he hasn't been able to fail at, at least once, is showing his followers what a fool he is. Right now, I really fear for this country.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-31408121566920700922016-02-22T16:02:21.176-05:002016-02-22T16:02:21.176-05:00Oh, I love that look on Dr Simmon's face; what...Oh, I love that look on Dr Simmon's face; what a wonderful portrait of the innocent confidence of a nine year old girl!Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318174928862120631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-68884802964712188072016-02-22T13:47:31.242-05:002016-02-22T13:47:31.242-05:00Birdie, my only hope in the event of a Trump win i...Birdie, my only hope in the event of a Trump win is that he'd be too bored to really take on the obstructionist congress.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-54217421945928973502016-02-22T13:46:17.693-05:002016-02-22T13:46:17.693-05:00Steve, I totally agree with you that the press SHO...Steve, I totally agree with you that the press SHOULD cover the outrageous things Trump says. We definitely need to know who we're dealing with. That's why I said the piece almost fully captures my thoughts. I also don't agree that Cruz or Rubio are much better. It's a choice between nativist hot headed megalomaniac, cold steely brutalist, and shape shifting charlatan as far as I can see. Give me Hillary, flawed as she might be, any day. You know, I like that Hillary is tough. In this environment, tough is needed. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-47847211825561179792016-02-22T13:43:08.839-05:002016-02-22T13:43:08.839-05:00Jan, the book will be available on Amazon, Barnes ...Jan, the book will be available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other retail outlets in hardcover, and subsequently in paperback and ebook formats.

He has so much hate and I find him and his ideas terrifying. He will have the ability to start WW 3. But the question remains. How can this man be stopped? And if he doesn't get in what is stopping him from running again in 4 years. He has the funds.

I also can't imagine that Hillary Clinton couldn't win against him -- she may have weaknesses, but I think the vast majority of moderate voters would choose her over Trump. I just can't believe that he could win.<br /><br />I think the Hitler analogy is interesting, though.<br /><br />I strenuously disagree with the columnist's assertion that the media should not report Trump's controversial, hateful comments. It is the media's job to report what he says; if voters respond to those comments, that's a deeper problem.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-44035134090750437052016-02-22T11:34:10.704-05:002016-02-22T11:34:10.704-05:00What an incredibly powerful article!

I'd like to read it first, but it sounds like just the right book to share with the remarkable young woman who does my blood work every week. She's an avid reader and we share book titles on a regular basis. I'd like to buy her a copy.<br />Thanks for everything.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12480698441723710892noreply@blogger.com
