I am very concerned about the direction this nation is going. There is Donald Trump, threatening to prosecute and jail Hillary Clinton because of mishandling emails. The only damage from them seems to be embarrassment to her. No intentional wrong-doing has been demonstrated.

Trump should be tried and prosecuted for sedition. He is encouraging a foreign government (Russia) to undermine the legitimacy of the U.S. election. The election is rigged, if Trump wins.

I am not amazed at the current situation, given the 30-plus years’ indoctrination of America with Republican dogma via Fox news. Roger Ailes, fired CEO of Fox News, stated that he ensured Fox News would tout the Republican party line.

I can’t wait until the public wakes up and realizes who the real threat to our democracy is — Trump, not Clinton.
