Candidate scorecard

It's time to vote for our president. Thank God we live in a free country where we have that right.

Here's my scorecard:

Taxes -- Trump plans huge tax breaks for the top 1% of earners. That's the failed supply side approach that helps the rich. Harris proposes restoring some taxes on top earners. Most economists agree that Trump's plan will result in much larger national debt that will be passed on to our kids and grandkids.

Invasion of the Capitol -- Trump encouraged the Jan. 6th mob, was unhappy that VP Pence "didn't have the courage" to subvert our electoral system, and says he wants to imprison his political opponents. Harris supports free elections and maintaining our freedoms.

Position on Sexual Assault -- At least sixteen women have accused Trump of sexual assault. He's on tape (Access Hollywood 10/7/16) bragging he can grope and kiss women because "when you're a star, they let you do it." Harris spent much of her career prosecuting sex offenders.

Dementia -- Trump's mental decline is pretty apparent.

Experience Governing -- A growing number of ex-Trump staffers, including top generals that he selected, say Trump was dangerously uninformed and irresponsible. Harris has decades of relevant experience and has been endorsed by many military leaders.

The differences in character and experience between VP Harris and Donald Trump are stark. Many disaffected Republicans are choosing country over party. Please join them and vote for Kamala Harris.

Starting at /week.
