Actually, Mr. Paul, I certainly don't "view 1/2 of Americans as skunks", if I did, I would say so.  I view Mr. Trump as a skunk who has no place occupying the Presidency.  I don't view those who voted for him as "Deplorables"...that's a very narrow, intolerant perspective and reflected, IMO, very badly on Ms Clinton, not just as a candidate, but as a person.  

I feel Mr. Trump was elected for a variety of reasons. High on the list was the fact that Ms. Clinton was not a very appealing candidate.  I'd be happy to have that discussion with you anytime, give me a call.

However, the pressing issue today is, IMO, not why Trump was elected, but the fact that he was elected and now is, quite literally, running amok as President.  He's that "pet skunk" who hasn't been de-scented and cross him and guess what happens.  Gary Crum
