In response to the killing of the Rancho High School student:

I am so ashamed of what is going on in the Clark County schools. They are not teaching reading, writing and arithmetic to our students anymore. Nor are they teaching them how to be decent citizens. The terrible situation that led to this young man being killed — a young man who will never grow into manhood — is just unbelievable. His family must be devastated.

I can only pray for the youths of our nation and of our wonderful city. God bless us all.

I want someone in our highest office who is a person of great character whom I can trust, even when I disagree with his or her policies. Mr. Trump is not that person.

Your description of Kamala Harris’ rise from the most unpopular vice president to “an amalgamation of Abraham Lincoln, George Washington and Mahatma Gandhi” was perfect.
