When Trump promises to “Make America Great Again,” we should ask: Great for whom, other than his base of white, working-class men without college degrees? Racists, sexists, homophobes and xenophobes?
Certainly not for women, or Americans of color, or children, or gay men, or religious minorities. In the bygone days that Trump harkens back to, it wasn’t so great to be anything but a straight white Christian male. America is already great. Let’s make it even better by addressing today’s most serious issues head-on.
The Major Problem With “Make America Great Again”
Donald Trump vows to “Make America Great Again,” and on Tuesday, a good chunk of the Republican electorate implored him to do just that by handing him victories in Illinois, Florida, and North Carolina. If elected, Trump promises, he will restore America to its former glory and make life good again for Americans whose lives, Trump’s campaign slogan implies, are no longer particularly good.
“Making Donald Trump our Commander-in-Chief would be a historic mistake.”
“As secretary of state, senator and first lady, I had the honor of representing America abroad and helping shape our foreign policy at home. As a candidate for president, there’s nothing I take more seriously than our national security. I’ve offered clear strategies for how to defeat ISIS, strengthen our alliances, and make sure Iran never gets a nuclear weapon. And I’m going to keep America’s security at the heart of my campaign.
Because as you know so well, Americans aren’t just electing a president in November. We’re choosing our next Commander-in-Chief — the person we count on to decide questions of war and peace, life and death.
And like many across our country and around the world, I believe the person the Republicans have nominated for president cannot do the job.”
“Donald Trump’s ideas aren’t just different — they are dangerously incoherent. They’re not even really ideas — just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.”
“Imagine him deciding whether to send your spouses or children into battle. Imagine if he had not just his Twitter account at his disposal when he’s angry, but America’s entire arsenal. Do we want him making those calls—someone thin-skinned and quick to anger, who lashes out at the smallest criticism? Do we want his finger anywhere near the button?”

Following a line of other right-wing wacko birds, Trump insulted a man I esteem and love, a man who has risked his life in service of his country. He insulted my grandfather and attacked the very qualities — loyalty, bravery and selflessness — that he and countless other POWs embody. He mocked the sacrifice many have given and the anguish families have endured when their heroes have suffered alone miles away.
John McCain spent 5½ years in captivity as a POW in North Vietnam. His first-person account of that harrowing ordeal was published in U.S. News in May 1973. Shot down in his Skyhawk dive bomber on Oct. 26, 1967, Navy flier McCain was taken prisoner with fractures in his right leg and both arms. He received minimal care and was kept in wretched conditions that he describes vividly in the U.S. News special report
My grandfather responded with grace and forgiveness — as only a man who was held in captivity for years can. But I’ve been nursing a grudge ever since. Trump’s statement, in my view, is unforgivable, and speaks to the kind of man he is: a coward who has never faced danger in his life, an insecure brat who shirked duty for comfort, and a man who is wholly unfit to serve as commander-in-chief.
Watch the Vice Presidential Debate!
By now, you’ve heard a few things about Senator Tim Kaine—and you might even know that he’s spent his entire career fighting for progressives causes or that he loves to play the harmonica.
But did you know that…
- During his 17-year career as a civil rights attorney, Tim specialized in representing the underserved, battling on behalf of those who had been denied housing opportunities because of their race or disability.
- When Tim was 22, he took a year off from law school to volunteer with Jesuit missionaries in Honduras. He ran a technical school, teaching carpentry and welding to teenage boys while honing his Spanish. He says his time in Honduras was one of the most formative experiences of his life, shaping both his personal and political outlook.
And many more..
