I’m not Toomey, but I’ll respectfully respond to your article.

Reading your Oct. 19 article, “Is this what is best for our country,” I believe you care about America — thank you. I respect you, but your opinions are not the same as facts. Given 350 words, I can’t respond to all your opinions such as Trump replaced knowledgeable, patriotic people with sycophants and hate; suspicion and division are his mantra.

Those are highly charged opinions, generalized and devoid of facts. Those obscure charges are supported by left-wing radicals but not patriotic Americans.

Observe the tens of thousands of Americans at Trump rallies compared to Democrats. Hillary said half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable, irredeemable. How sad. Hillary’s attempt to divide patriotic Americans because of different political views failed. Her divisive comments are not “What is best for our country.”

Quoting the worst president in American history (opinion), B.O. said “elections have consequences.” Replacing previous administrations’ appointees is a consequence of elections, they are not sycophants.

I’ll concentrate on elections and your statement, “Trump … solicits again … interference in our sacred elections.” Mueller spent years and millions to conclude NO COLLUSION. No collusion is not an ambiguous statement. No collusion is a clear investigative conclusion from 17 Democratic investigators, not one Republican. The only acceptable Democratic mantra is Trump’s removal.

The Democrat darling B.O. stated “he should stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.” I suggest the same for whining Democrats.

You stated, “our sacred elections”; our elections were never sacred. Democratic corruption (contrary to Cuomo and CNN) was monumental in 2012. Did you ever look?

On Nov. 12, 2012, B.O. received 100% (yep, 100%) of the votes in 59 districts around Philadelphia (a statistical impossibility). In 21 districts in Ohio B.O. received 100% (yep, 100%) of votes when GOP inspectors were illegally removed. Need more proof of democratic interference? St. Lucie County, Florida: 247,713 votes cast; only 175,574 registered voters. Corruption level well over 41%. So much more.

Additionally, voters vote multiple times (illegal), dead people vote (impossible), voting machines rigged (no paper trail); all adds up to corruption.

The Democrats’ best illegal plan — unlimited immigrants (legal and illegal) are promised free education, free welfare benefits and free health care. No, my patriotic friend, elections are often bought and corrupted.

Lastly, B.O. said, “We reward our friends and punish our enemies.” Tragically Democrats and Republicans see each other as the enemy. They should not. We are in the same boat together. Either it floats, or we all sink.
