Democratic Party must heed will of the people

The system is broken and unconstitutional. Superdelegates are an effort to override the will of the people and, in doing so, they are undemocratic.

Closed elections are dangerous because they do not give an accurate picture of what will happen in the General Election. They are, in fact, a threat to the Democratic Party.

I will not participate in either practice and so I am unaffiliated. The Democratic Party needs to fix its mess if it will ever get my loyalty. I am loyal to systems and politicians I can respect, trust and support. By virtue of the mess the Democratic Party has created in this primary, I'll remain unaffiliated.

If Bernie Sanders runs as an Independent, that will be enough to sway me to join that political group. Now there is a politician who I can support!

Trump can tackle intractable drug problems

Re "Half-Mile Drug Tunnel Found on US-Mexico Border," April 21 USA Today article:

Another tunnel was recently discovered into San Diego, California from Tijuana, Mexico. This one was somewhat unique. In addition to lighting and ventilation, it included a large elevator leading down from a modest house in Tijuana.



These tunnels are considered an intractable fact of life.

This tunnel, one of more than 75 discovered in the last five years, was one of the longest. It was one-half-mile long. Six people were arrested and over a ton of cocaine was seized.

Why can’t the U.S. military install ground-penetrating radar or other technical means of detecting these tunnels as they are being built? This technology could be installed along any part of the border vulnerable to tunnels.

I’m certain that once elected, Donald Trump, upon learning of this possible solution to the problem will have it used immediately.
