Remember Clinton won the popular vote

All the gloating and crowing over Donald Trump’s election can not drown out the fact that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by a respectable margin. If we did not have the undemocratic Electoral College, which allows political elites to pick our president, (Hillary) Clinton would be our president-elect today. (Donald) Trump does not have a mandate and God help us when he takes office in January; I see a lot of buyers’ remorse ahead. He will continue the destruction of our government that George W. Bush so ably began. I hear that Trump’s EPA director will be a lackey of the infamous Koch brothers, so we can be sure that the health of this planet and all that live upon it is now at even greater risk.

In closing please allow me a correction: A writer from Cutler misread my letter of Oct. 18, thinking my praise of our First Lady Michelle Obama was for Hillary Clinton. I never mentioned Clinton in the letter and it seems to me the writer needs to do a better job of reading before he makes a misguided attempt at writing.
