"Blasting Trump for “insulting our friends” and “acting like a loose cannon,” Hillary Clinton outlined the leadership qualities she feels necessary to occupy the Oval Office. “It’s more than a photo-op,” she said, alluding to Trump’s recent visit to flood-ravaged Louisiana with running mate Mike Pence, which the governor’s office warned shouldn’t occur if the trip would amount to a photo-op, and suggesting his current trip is just for politics, too. “It takes consistency and reliability. Actually, it’s just like building personal relationships: People have to get to know that they can count on you, that you won’t say one thing one day and something totally different the next,” she said, knocking Trump again for flip-flopping his position on immigration. “And it certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again. That is not how it works. American leadership means leading with our values, in pursuance of our interests in protection of our security.”

For years, John lived in the San Francisco Bay Area, the very liberal sanctuary city which protects, rather than prosecutes, certain favored criminals. John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
