Reader believes editorial has ‘Jumped the shark’

A clear choice for November
To the Editor: The choice at the ballot box in November is an easy one. You can vote for a 78-year-old man who dodged the Vietnam War claiming bone spurs. When he was president he called our American war dead in a cemetery in France “suckers” and “losers,” a comment …

Reader defends life, criticizes unrestricted abortion policies
