Please, I'd like your opinion

An Open Letter to A Trump Supporter
ABC

Dear Trump Supporter,

I’m writing you this letter because Election Day is right around the corner and I’d like to know if you are still standing by your candidate.

Not sure whether you supported him from day one or somewhere along the way, but I’m curious to know where you stand at this point. As you know, your candidate has been under fire for the past few weeks for several different controversies, ranging from a lewd tape to possibly refusing to accept the result of the election. Regardless of what it may be, I guess I’d like to pick your brain a bit to find out how you argue to support his claim.

I’ve heard the “what Bill did was much worse” argument, and although it may be a valid claim, he isn’t the person being discussed. Diverting the attention to someone that isn’t running for office doesn’t really answer the question. Mr. Trump says that what the women are saying are all “lies” and that there is no evidence to support their claim. While it is true that everyone is innocent until proven guilty, do you believe that Mr. Trump has evidence to support his claim? Is there evidence to prove that what the women are saying is false? As far as the tape goes, he admits to kissing women and touching women inappropriately, so how do you argue for that? These are all questions that I’ve asked myself lately, but because I am not a Trump supporter, I can’t come up with an unbiased answer, so I’d like your help.

There are so many things that I’m unsure about concerning Mr. Trump. There’s been so many outlandish statements along the way that I’m not really sure how to narrow it down to one to ask you about, but I’m confident you know what I mean. One of the wildest claims so far – at least in my opinion – is the claim of a “rigged” election. Several experts have stated publically that it would be incredibly difficult for a U.S. election to be “rigged.” So where is Mr. Trump getting his information to make such a claim? Is there unknown, unseen evidence for that, too? Mr. Trump is insulting the very basis of our democracy – a free and open election. American voters across the nation will go out on Election Day and support the candidate that they believe will do the best job at running our nation. Mr. Trump, like Mrs. Clinton, ran a yearlong campaign that he and his team managed the way they thought best. So to say that the election is “rigged,” just because he is behind in the polls, sounds a little bit like whining to me.

So, I say to you Mr./Mrs. Trump Supporter, please help me by offering me your opinion for support of Donald Trump for President of the United States.

Sincerely,

A Decided Voter

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
