USA Today has an amazing editorial blasting Donald Trump today.

“[A] president who would all but call Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand a whore is not fit to clean the toilets in the Barack Obama Presidential Library or to shine the shoes of George W. Bush.”

USA Today does not endorse political candidates and due to its national reach, usually tries to stay neutral. In 2016, it made an exception, and as to Donald Trump, told its readers:

“Resist the siren song of a dangerous demagogue. By all means vote, just not for Donald Trump.”

After noting that Obama and Bush had their own flaws, but at least they were decent men, it opines:

Donald Trump, the man, on the other hand, is uniquely awful. His sickening behavior is corrosive to the enterprise of a shared governance based on common values and the consent of the governed.”

It then addresses "Trump’s utter lack of morality, ethics and simple humanity" and lists supporting examples.

I like this one:

Trump apparently is going for some sort of record for lying while in office. As of mid-November, he had made 1,628 misleading or false statements in 298 days in office. That’s 5.5 false claims per day, according to a count kept by The Washington Post’s fact-checkers.

The editorial continues, saying "It is a shock that only six Democratic senators are calling for our unstable president to resign."

There's a poll at the end of the editorial asking readers whether they agree. Right now, 80% of those who answered agree with the editorial.

What did they do to deserve a Trumpish comparison. Toilets gotta be cleaned. No need to get personal

so good to read that. Makes you believe in the goodness of mankind.

There is much greater disgust of Trump than has been expressed. So many, many are fed up with his childishness, ignorance and bigotry.

to see all people in Alabama yesterday at the Jones rally of all races and creeds hugging each other. It did give me a lot of hope for the country if Alabama can do something like that. The sad part is that almost 1/2 the state had no problem with Roy Moore.
