Sound Off for August 12, 2016

We’ll find out, won’t we?

Of course Obama wants Trump out of the race. Trump is the one who can beat Hillary, hands down.

Heads you lose ...

If Hillary is elected president, America is doomed. If Trump is elected president, America is doomed. We are doomed if we do and doomed if we don’t.

Next round of pardons

Hang in there, Carlton Gary. Obama is working on getting you out, too.

Hole in social safety net

Why do we not have a program for feeding the elderly? I don’t want to see any child go hungry and 18-year-olds are not children. Anyone in their 80s could use two meals a day.

It has its limits

Trump's daughter lauded her dad's "kindness and compassion" (except of course all those women he has verbally abused, minorities he has slandered and fellow candidates he has mocked).

Curriculum change

I went to law school. I dropped out because of my conscience.

Help with his cues

Not only has Trump used teleprompters after chastising others who used them, but when he endorsed McCain and Ryan, he had to pull pieces of paper out of his pocket to read.
