Closing Argument: Hillary Clinton for President


Hillary Rodham Clinton is a brilliant, experienced, detailed, organized, hard-working and decent human being intent upon, and committed to, applying her skill, talent and experience to help this nation move forward in every way possible. She has a broad, wide ranging grasp of domestic and foreign policy issues, a demonstrated ability to work cooperatively with others and a cogent, forward looking agenda. She bears the scars from decades of public service and resulting scrutiny and has proved beyond any doubt that she is as tough as they come and can handle absolutely anything thrown at her - fair or foul.  She has earned our votes, our trust, best wishes and a fair, non-partisan opportunity.  

Her opponent, Donald J. Trump is a, "to the manor born", self-promoting, over-compensating huckster lacking a single altruistic impulse, with the heart of a grifter and the soul of a pimp. He is a man lacking any moral compass or coherent ideology, who has consistently demonstrated an unpredictable and unstable nature with a borderline personality featuring arrested development, full blown narcissism and delusions of grandeur and paranoia. His bigotry and hatred for others is all encompassing. His abusive attitude towards women and hostility towards minorities has been manifest throughout his very public lifetime. He lacks any cogent policy plan, is ignorant of basic civics and lacks any understanding of how to govern. Throughout this campaign, he has unleashed venomous rhetoric with a reckless, pathological disregard for the truth that has inflamed civil rhetoric and poisoned civil discourse. This man is the single most vile, vulgar, vengeful public figure and dangerous demagogue of our lifetimes. He deserves to be roundly rejected by US all, given the public beating and humiliation he has so richly deserved his entire life and allowed to slink back to his gilded palace to whine about how he was cheated again.
