I would like to thank Brian Beckley for the best Our Corner commentary (“Civics 101: Election shows split in America”, Nov. 18) I’ve seen in this paper.<\/p>\n
His article was spot on.<\/p>\n
I wish our schools did as good of a job teaching and reinforcing the thinking of our founding fathers and why they did what they did, as it appears lacking.<\/p>\n
I did not vote for Mr. Trump, nor did I vote for Mrs. Clinton, but like Beckley alluded to, I am one of those that for many reasons, feel unrepresented, over-regulated and intruded upon by our government under President Obama.<\/p>\n
Despite the reasons I had for not voting for Mr. Trump, I am willing to give him a chance.<\/p>\n
Isn’t it interesting that basically the same message was pronounced by both Obama and Trump – hope and change?<\/p>\n
