Key Quotes
“He is the worst kind in charlatan and it is a great shame that Americans accepted this as their leader. I presume now he has power that he will act the part. But it is so very disappointing that dishonesty and racial vilification is rewarded. He embodied the same persona as Hitler and Mussolini, fascists that appealed to the weakness in humanity to blame minorities and foreigners for their economic problems.”
“Trump may well be a successful economic leader, although it remains to be seen if his fiscal expansion will not reap problems down the road if it creates a big budget hole, while business suffers from America first anti-trade policies.”
“If the economy improves and vindicates Trump’s policy and popularity, what will he do with it on social issues and climate change? Will his older white working class followers demand tougher immigration rules? If the economy starts to falter will Trump ramp up his anti-China rhetoric? How far would Trump go to distract his supporters from a weakening economy – indict Clinton? Start a war? Who is Trump? What are his ambitions? We have to be suspicious about someone so clearly self-serving and prepared to act so hatefully and dishonestly.”
“I have heard many Republicans say that Clinton was a flawed candidate with questionable dealings. But her motivations and conduct during the election and over more than 30 years of public service reflect a genuine effort to make the lives of other better. Whether you agree with her policies or not, there was no comparison between the two candidates on character. Who brags about grabbing pussy whether in a locker room or not.”
“I still have more confidence that America will survive as a strong democracy and a global leader. But its beacon of hope for the world has been dimmed.”
