Hello.
My name is Dave Erwin and I am a
retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant.
I spent 20 years serving this
country in the United States
Marine Corps, eight of which I was
a Marine Corps Drill Instructor.
A Marine Corps Drill Instructor's
job is to assess and judge the
character and leadership qualities
in recruits and officer candidates
at Quantico and the Marine Corps OCS
and Navy Officer Candidate School.
My assessment of Donald Trump is this.
He has no leadership.
He has massive character flaws
that should not fill the office
of the president of United States.
He has exploited this country and
the divisions in this country and
used them for his own purposes.
He has exploited the
norms of this government.
He has exploited the cracks, however
small they may be, in the Constitution.
He's exploited foreign leaders.
He's exploited the military and
used it for his own purposes.
And he exploits the very office
he sits in for financial gain,
whether he has foreign leaders
coming in and staying in his hotels,
or whether it's the Secret
Service staying at Mar-a-Lago,
to the tune of $900,000 thus far.
This week, a 17 year old boy answered
the call of the president, when the
president tweeted on May 29th, "when the
looting starts, the shooting starts."
That young man shot multiple
people and murdered two this week.
The Senate has found in a bipartisan
panel, that the president's campaign
actively sought information on
his opponent from the Russians,
with multiple meetings
and multiple contacts.
People have gone to jail for this,
but the Senate, Republican-led,
has refused to call it collusion.
What other words you have for it?
I'd like to know.
For me, Donald Trump lost me the minute
he came down the escalator attacking
Mexican-Americans and even more so when
he attacked John McCain, a real hero.
Because John McCain didn't suck
up to him like he requires.
It's too much for me to bear.
I will be voting for the first
time in my life for a Democrat,
and not just the president.
I will be voting anybody out of office
that has enabled this president to do
the things he's doing to this country.
On November 3rd, I will be voting for Joe
Biden for President of the United States.
