The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is the biggest and most influential newspaper in the state of Wisconsin, and they have some advice for their readers: It would be a gigantic mistake to cast a ballot for current GOP front-runner Donald Trump in next Tuesday’s Republican primary.
In their editorial, titled, “By any measure, Donald Trump is unfit to be president,” the Journal Sentinel editorial board states:
“No to Donald Trump.
“No to his bigotry.
“No to his contempt for women and minorities. No to his vague, clueless bluster about the problems facing the nation.
“No to Trumpism, which runs counter to the ideals of this nation of immigrants, to the notion that by working together under the rule of law, we can protect freedom and promote inclusion and fair play.
“Wisconsin Republicans: Reject this un-American candidate on April 5.”
But the Journal Sentinel goes even further in their absolute condemnation of Trump, writing:
“A Trump presidency would float down a river polluted by hyperbole and misstatement, tacking left to right, right to left, claiming up is down, white is black, night is day. A reality TV Wonderland. Only we live in the real world, where the words and choices of presidents can have momentous consequences — war and peace, feast or famine, freedom or tyranny, life or death.
“Voters can do the nation a huge service on April 5. They can say ‘no’ to Donald Trump.”
Everthing in this editorial is on point and absolutely true. I have asked this before and will ask it again as long as the threat of Trump hangs over this country: Is this the man we want in control of our nuclear arsenal? The first time a foreign leader insults or disagrees with him, Trump will be ready to let the ICMBs fly.
But we must all get out, we must organize, we must register those who are unregistered, and we must vote like we have never voted before. The survival of this republic depends on it.
