Letter: Graham is our man for president

Presidential candidate Donald Trump shockingly said that he questions Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., is a war hero because he was captured, adding he likes the veterans who weren’t caught. When McCain was shot down over Hanoi he suffered shrapnel wounds and eight broken bones. Refusing to treat his injuries, his captors frequently twisted his fractures to torture him. He endured 5 1/2 years in a stinking hell hole with constant beatings and torture. When the communists finally agreed to release him, McCain refused to leave until all the American POWs being held with him were freed. McCain’s sacrifice was selfless and lest we forget his suffering was the price of our freedom.

Trump and his supporters should all be deported and dumped in North Korea. It’ll be like taking out the trash. Only then can America heal from the shame of their ingratitude and Republicans can recover from the intoxicating conceit of the disrespectful Democrat who crashed their party. I’m supporting Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Persian Gulf War, 33 years in the Air Force Reserve, and three terms in the U.S. Senate. Graham has always done what Trump can never do — love his country more than himself.
