FOCUS: Suwanee resident reacts to what Bernard says

By Jeff Gorke  |  It’s always fun to read Jack Bernard’s missives. They tend to be short on data, long on aspersions while often slamming 50 percent of the population for being mindless rubes. Understand, I’m no Trump supporter, but he isn’t one of the Riders of the Apocalypse, either.

ANOTHER VIEW: The way the GOP is going, democracy is in peril

By Jack Bernard  |  Turns out, Donald Trump successfully appealed to the uneducated working class. But not as an independent…as a Republican. And he completely ignored fiscal conservatism, zeroing in on wacko cultural issues instead. He is a spoiled New York City billionaire who had been a Democrat.
