[Magdalen] Dem convention

[Grace Cangialosi]

I read this and wish that everyone would read it. The fact that so many people are being taken in and support Trump scares me almost more than the man himself. Are we really becoming the kind of country he envisions? If so, God help us!

I saw something posted on FaceBook a couple of days ago that I wanted to read, but now I can't find it. It was  report that one of Trump's aides--a speechwriter, maybe, and a woman--has quit because this isn't turning out to be what she had expected. This was never supposed to be a serious run for the presidency, but then it began to take on a life of its own...  Does anyone know the article I'm talking about?

I spent the better part of Saturday reading online The Atantic Magazine's
"The Mind of Donald Trump" (June 2016).  Chilling.  Straight forward.  I
pray this man will not be elected president.  (For those on this list who
think it wrong to publish such an article or to point it out for others to
read, I apologize.  I believe this clearly done case study merits sharing
widely.)

Ducking and running.  Unsubbing, if necessary.
