No one was happier than yours truly when the last presidential election was over. I publicly recommended the candidate that in my opinion, Donald J. Trump, was the best prepared to solve this nation’s growing problems, ($36 trillion national debt and growing, open border, lost American jobs, crime and inflation.)
Trump won the election and I heard an earful of comments regarding my published opinion that appeared in five local newspapers.
“How could you have done that?” said one incredulous person. “Well, I write opinion,” I answered. I felt I owed it to readers to make the call. Opinion writers can’t sit out elections even when an issue or election is ultra controversial. Sometimes the choices are difficult and one knows there will be plenty of flak from either side should one be so foolish as to risk a public opinion. Still opinion writers write opinion.
