Editor,

Trump’s platform included the physical assertion to drain the swamp in order to improve the function and to rid our government from interference of lobbyists, corporate influence and big money. The problem is that no one has given thought to pulling the drain plug.
Adding to that, the Republican Party no longer exists. If it exists, it is in name only. It is the new party of Trump now. So now we have lost the old separation of power and ideals only to replace it with a consolidation that eliminates checks and balances of the Presidential power. Our constitution has been raped by wrongful intent. Simply put, what change people were looking for has now become quicksand. Our future and the American Way are desperately sinking with only death in site with no hope of survival. Our only ray of hope lies in your hands on Election Day. Food for thought.
