In response to bombs, please tone down the rhetoric
Re: “Trump decries violence but calls on media to end ‘hostility,’” Oct. 25 news story
Republicans, Democrats and the news are each blaming the others for the recent bomb issue.
Donald Trump condemns others, but will not acknowledge his part of the divisive rhetoric. There is one difference however, between him and all of the others; he is the elected leader of all the rest of us, and in the words of another president, “The buck stops here.”
Please Mr. president, show us how to talk respectfully to each other, how to choose our words carefully and to do so without hurtfulness regardless of our race, sex or sexual identity, country of origin or religion.
Then demand, encourage and support us in doing so. We cannot move forward without your leadership!

In a more concerned world, the people of all political leanings would know itap time for a change.
In a more farsighted world, Republican voters would realize itap time to salvage whatap left of their party.
In a more courageous world, GOP leaders would know itap time to go to the White House and say, “Mr. President, we need your resignation.”
Itap time.

The vitriolic communications from the extreme left will give more and more extreme right wingers the idea to do violence — feeling as if they are cornered.
Most of America agrees with neither extreme. But if The Denver Post and extremists on the left don’t believe in cause and effect such as this, either or both are stupid or mentally ill.
Back off, people. We need rational, civil discourse to solve this country’s problems. Stop exacerbating our difficulties with poison tongues and communications.

No one deserves more blame for our anger-infused society than Donald Trump. He is the epicenter of anger, discord and disdain fueled by dishonesty and rudeness pervasive in politics.
King Dolt of the White House couldn’t keep himself from criticizing Democrats and the media even while assuming the mantle of peacemaker — a pretense so perverse and warped that it points to serious personality disorder.
While claiming to want mending of the national divide, he is actually fueling divisiveness by comments made at rallies attended by deplorables.
Joe McCarthy (deceased former senator) would be pleased.

Elway’s picks are not good for Colorado
Re: “Elway ponies up for GOP’s guv candidate,” Oct. 25 news story
Considering the fact that multi-millionaire and Broncos’ general manager John Elway is choosing to support only Republican candidates in Colorado’s general election should give the state’s voters pause.
Isn’t this the same guy who picked quarterback Paxton Lynch as the Broncos’ future and let defensive coordinator Wade Phillips go to the NFC West-leading Los Angeles Rams?
Armed with this information, wouldn’t it make sense for Colorado voters to do the opposite of Elway and throw their support to Democratic candidates?
