The Ponzi scheme presidential candidate

Abraham Lincoln once made a reference to appealing to “the better angels of our nature,” but it appears people are looking for the opposite, for a change candidate, a darker candidate, maybe Donald Trump.

Maybe we need a guy who's a combination of Michael Corleone from “The Godfather,” a James Bond villain, or the Anti-Christ.

I think we need a guy who's 70 years old, and spent his time on Earth looking for young women and trying to amass a fortune without the burden of honesty. We need a guy who has been in over 3,500 civil suits relating to his business practices, and refuses to give us any details about the identity of his business partners in Russia, Europe, the Middle East or Asia.

A guy who refuses to show any federal income tax forms. If we elect Mr. Trump, and he initiates his tax breaks for the rich, the only price to be paid is if you're old, he'll cut your Medicare and Social Security benefit s a little, and if you're a Millennial male, you'll come home in a body bag. Is that such a great price to pay to make America great again?
