Trump simply does not have the temperament to be our president.

Then there is Hillary Clinton, former first lady, former U.S. senator, former secretary of State, who apparently is more comfortable with lies of commission or omission, who has spent a lifetime trying to wiggle out of the tight spots of her own creation.

The controversy over her use of a private server for official and unofficial emails when she was secretary of State is well-deserved. How in the world could she have thought such a system ever could be acceptable? Surely someone in her State Department should have spoken up. Then, when her use of her own server came to light, she time and again dissembled in an effort to cover her rear.

Instead of saying up front that she was wrong to use her private server, she told America that no classified material was received by or sent from that server. When FBI Director James Comey said that wasn't true, Clinton dismissed it. Instead of turning the server over to the FBI when it came to light, as she should have, she destroyed 33,000 emails she said were personal in nature. We'll never know if they truly were private. She had aides take a hammer to her cell phones, making us wonder what was on them.
