To the editor:
You state that Trump is a “loud-mouth huckster who managed to con his way into the nomination.” (["]GOP leaders made a deal with the devil, and now they are feeling the heat,” editorial, June 7)
Trump did not con his way into becoming the presumptive Republican nominee for president but was voted into that position by millions of American citizens. By supporting him, they have given their personal stamp of approval on bigotry, racism and misogyny (to say the least).
Personally, a single Trump does not frighten me, but knowing that there are millions of them in America is quite unsettling. I had thought we had come so far over the past 50 years but obviously, even at 53 years of age, I am quite naive about the mindset of many Americans.

Note from KBJ: What's unsettling to me is that there may be more than one Shari O'Connell.
