To the Editor:
President George Washington was greatly dismayed as he watched the formation of political parties. He no doubt could foresee the often negative and destructive force it would be to the fledgling nation and beyond and believed it would be the downfall of the nation. In just one example of his foreboding, we now learn that all of Rhode Island’s representatives (Reed, Whitehouse, Cicilline, Langevin) to the nation’s congress and our governor (Raimondo) are supporting Hillary Clinton for president in the coming November election.
Surely, the aforementioned politicians are not promoting her based on her repeated lying, or role in the loss of four Americans in Benghazi where no effort was made to save them, or bungling of her email server to the great peril to our country. Of course, silly us, it’s party loyalty! However, do not despair dear reader, Rhode Islanders would never succumb to such foolishness this November simply because she is of their party (or because she is a woman, an equally valid reason to support her).

Much like Obama voters, Hillary Clinton supporters have no idea where she stands on issues, and could care less. She is for more regulations, higher taxes, greater union influence, open borders, and more government dependence. That is, everything that has made RI an economic basket case. And RI voters can not wait to vote for more of the same. So sad for a once-proud, often recalcitrant state.
