Dear editor;
Hopefully, the American people will look beyond the two hours debate we just witnessed. presidential candidates should stand the same test as any job applicant. In particular, the candidate should have a proven and lengthy track record of successes. We have a clear vision of president Donald Trump’s track record.
As to vice president Kamala Harris, she cannot simply dismiss herself from what transpired while serving alongside president Joe Biden. Make no mistake that the two are glued at the hip. With America in two wars, our borders more porous than ever, possibility of a recession, and families struggling with inflation; the American people need to do due diligence when selecting our next president. They need to set aside personalities and instead look at track records while in office.
They need to answer Ronald Reagan’s question when he ran for president, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?”
Lastly, I would refer voters to a comparison of how the two candidates stand on the top issues of most importance to America, published by PBS/WHYY September 10.
