Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : It's one of Trump's proudest moments, he says nationally at rallies and on TV.Fifty years of everything going just fine and now Trump puts his big nose in and takes away women's reproductive freedom.
56% : So if you have no other reason to vote, remember that Trump is proud he selected Republican judges on the Supreme Court to get rid of Roe v Wade.
44% : A vote for Trump will save the country and the world.
43% : I then briefly think of the two candidates who will set the island back a decade or more, Stephen Gray and Tamara Goehler, aka "No Way Gray" and "Tamara I'll Raise Taxes" who have openly declared war on the core of Marco Island, its family owned businesses, their hard working employees and those who wish to establish a new business here (in one of the appropriately zoned locations on the island).
39% : In the immensely difficult situation of a woman experiencing a life-threatening condition at any time during her pregnancy, Florida Statutes Ch. 390.0111 clearly allows for abortion - including in order to "avert serious risk of imminent substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function" - as certified in writing by at least one physician.
36% : Stay away from No Way Gray and Tamara I'll Raise Taxes!Daniel High, Marco IslandResidents of Marco Island.
27% : They are a threat not just to immigrants, but to all of us, because Trump's and Vance's words are directed against anyone they see as the "other" or who opposes them.
23% : Shame on the MAGA folks who refuse to condemn Trump and Vance.
20% : Yet Trump, Vance and their sycophants continue to demonize, dehumanize and spread vile, vicious and malicious lives about people who have fled from tyranny and the dangerous countries they had been born in through no fault of their own.
19% : The Hitlerian language of Trump and Vance, claiming that immigrants are "poisoning the blood" of America, comes directly from Hitler's book of horrors, "Mein Kampf."
17% : If Kamala wins it's only because of their hatred for Trump.
