Janet Ostinelli: Trump’s ‘disgusting campaign’

I do not know what kind of president Trump will make. Time will tell. However, I do know that he ran a very disgusting and divisive campaign.

I know that he bragged about having the ability to shoot someone and his supporters would not care. I know he turned the Republican debates into a name-calling circus. I also know he would not release his tax returns and has bullied his way in his business dealings.

Furthermore I know he tried to de-legitimize Obama’s presidency by claiming he was not born here and then using the opening of his hotel to admit the president was a citizen. Need I go on?

This is not the kind of person I think deserves to be president. It is shameful and has reached a new low. Can it go any lower?
