How much worse do we dare let things get?

BRATTLEBORO — Donald Trump on TV can, temporarily, make me think, “He's not so bad” and that the prospect of his winning would not be so bad. So I can see how people think he's not a threat - that he's entertainment, actually.

But contemplate an America with no gun control, no Social Security, no Medicare, no Medicaid, no public health care, no Planned Parenthood, no minimum wage, no Environmental Protection Agency.

Some third-party voters think things have to get worse before they get better. But how much worse?

The world is sane, not crazy. Let's avoid Trump. Please vote Democrat for president.
