To the Editor:
Re “Cruz and Rubio Clash Harshly, Filling a Void” (front page, Jan. 29):
They’re all dangerous, every last one of them. They keep making outrageous statements. The press keeps giving them a free pass. Pull out of the Iran nuke deal? They must have missed the coverage of the extraordinary monitoring measures available and must disbelieve those who witnessed concrete being poured into reactor cores. They seek even more turmoil, unrest, disadvantage in the Middle East.
Domestically, all they want to do is repeal the Affordable Care Act, casting millions back to uninsured status, and slash domestic spending, which will gut social services, creating an even wider gap between the haves, have at least a little, and have nothing at all. Most Americans will be in the latter two categories. They want to set fire to the social compact of this nation at home while marauding in search of more conflicts to exacerbate abroad. Oh, and Rand Paul wants to declare every fetus a citizen.
By his very absence Donald Trump proved that without him, the choice is “none of the above.”
Does anybody recognize our country anymore?
