LETTER: Quotable quotes on Election 2016

“Being a decent person trumps politics any day.” I heard this on Fox News the other day. I liked it and added it to my collection of great quotes.

Here are some other quotes from some decent people, all about Donald Trump (Google them if you wish to verify):

Colin Powell: He is “a national disgrace and an international pariah.”

Barbara Bush: “I don’t know how women can vote for (him) ... It’s incomprehensible to me.”

Marco Rubio: “A dangerous con man.”

Carly Fiorina: “A man who seems to only feel big when he’s trying to make other people feel small.”

Bobby Jindal: “An unserious and unstable narcissist.”

Mitt Romney: “A phony ... playing the American public for suckers.”

Ted Cruz: “A pathological liar.”

Karl Rove: “A complete idiot ... graceless and divisive.”

51 former GOP national security officials: “Not qualified ... dangerous.”

Lindsey Graham: “A race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot ... empowering radical Islam ... undercutting everything we stand for.”

George Will: “If Trump wins, the GOP ends as a vehicle for conservatism.”

And here are some more quotes from some decent people, all about Hillary Clinton:

Jeb Bush: “Former Secretary Clinton has dedicated her life to serving and engaging people across the world in democracy.”

Henry Kissinger: “(Hillary Clinton) ran the State Department in the most effective way that I’ve ever seen.”

John McCain: “Secretary Clinton is admired and respected around the world ... a very effective secretary of state.”

Condoleezza Rice: “She’s a patriot ... I think she’s doing a fine job. I really do.”

Lindsey Graham: “She is one of the most effective secretaries of state, greatest ambassadors for the American people that I have known in my lifetime.”

So to all thoughtful, decent people out there, please consider your vote with care. I rest my case. —Nancy Teggeman, Polson
