Letters to the editor: Readers share their views on presidential election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : On Thursday, Aug. 15, Trump told a crowd at his Bedminster Club that the Presidential Medal of Freedom is more worthy of admiration than the Medal of Honor traditionally given to war heroes.
50% : How on earth can the Republican Party and many of their members who have served in the military excuse his remarks and continue to support Trump?
45% : Trump isn't perfect by any means but I felt safer, had more money, borders were better managed and drugs were not as visible as they are today.
28% : Trump then said Medal of Honor recipients,"They're either in very bad shape because they've either been shot so many times by bullets or they're dead."
25% : How dare Trump dare to disparage anyone who has worn the uniform, especially given his own cowardice.
24% : A vote for Trump is for lower prices, energy independence, just common sense issues.
17% : Plus, when Trump announced his run for the presidency, the Dems went into overdrive to convict him on questionable charges.
7% : In 2015, Trump mocked the late Sen. John McCain for having been a prisoner of war.
