EDITOR:

I watched the first presidential debate. It leads me to ask my community these questions:

Would you be friends with someone who has no respect for others – talking down to people, shouting over them, interrupting them, and insulting them?

Would you be friends with someone who consistently lies?

Would you be friends with someone who without remorse takes beyond his fair share?

Would you be friends with someone who cheats – on his wife, on partnerships, on his taxes?

Would you be friends with someone who has little to no value for human life, just value for his stock portfolio?

Would you be friends with someone who only cares about himself?

If your answer is yes, why? How do you think supporting that person reflects upon you? Is that person who you want your children to be? Do you think that person is a “good person”?

If your answer is no to any of those question, do you think you should vote for that person on November 3rd?
