There are two good choices for president

I’m going to vote for the man who’s name begins with a “T.” Yes, that optimistic, bright, compassionate young man who is giving shelter to Syrian refugees … Oops, sorry. Justin Trudeau is already taken with his new job as prime minister of Canada. Darn.

What a difference a border makes.

Who to vote for in the U.S.A. … Well, I’m certainly not going to vote for any of those Republican candidates. When their chatter devolves to small hands, carpet bombing the Middle East, homophobia, misogyny and ignoring climate change, I just cannot support any of them.

I love America way too much. I trust Americans to do the right thing.

Both of our Democratic candidates are capable, experienced and, well, civil. Their debates have been well thought-out challenges of opinions. It appears that both Clinton and Sanders just want to do what is good and true for our country. Contrary to the Republican candidates, Clinton and Sanders behave in a way that I hope our kids will always behave. They are smart, polite and compassionate. So I say we have two good choices. May the best person win.

For the record, I am a 66-year-old woman with two advanced degrees, neither of which is from Trump University.
