Dear Mr. Trump,

Following the initial rounds of debates leading up to the Democratic presidential primaries, it’s obvious that there are a score of candidates so much better qualified than you for the nation’s highest office, candidates who actually care about the majority of the American people, not only the richest of the rich.

We Democrats have candidates who can actually think carefully about the policies they propose, instead of just appealing to voters’ emotions without reason.

We Democrats have candidates who strive to bring Americans together, as opposed to your strategy of fostering hatred between whites and non-whites, class warfare, and religious bigotry.

We Democrats have candidates – all of our candidates, in fact – who want more and better health care for Americans and believe that health care is a right, as opposed to your administration’s position that the protections of the Affordable Care Act should be demolished, chief among them the ability to transfer health coverage without regard to preexisting conditions.

We Democrats have candidates who can easily point out your many lies, your false promises, your scurrilous behavior, your treasonous acts in encouraging Russia to continue to interfere with our free elections, among others.

You can make up all the nasty, racist, pejorative nicknames you want, and yes, it will appeal to your cult, but these nicknames will be not nearly enough to keep you in the White House.

When you’re gone, we will celebrate and work hard to restore the integrity of our great country.

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
