Yes, I am hopeful that being called “unfit” to be president is a “good luck charm” which will continue to work its magic and Donald Trump will be elected president.
Trump has been opposed to the agreement from Day One of his campaign. Hillary Clinton is a candidate-come-lately on opposing the agreement; as secretary of state she supported the agreement.

Not casting a vote for Donald Trump this year tells the Republicans that, to get their base back, they’d better find somebody different.

Should America risk having Hillary Clinton and staff handle the office of the presidency in the manner they handled the office of secretary of state, “extremely careless?”
The question for you, the American voter, is who would best protect America and the American people from attacked by a terrorist soldier of any terrorist organization or by any American who would subscribe to a terrorist organization’s way of thinking and attack fellow Americans?
