Dear Cher,

Dear Cher, I heard you don't like Donald Trump for President. Well, you get one vote, like the rest of us. You can grab a microphone and reach thousands of people, but when we step into the box, my vote counts as much as yours. I appreciate you sharing your opinion, but no offense, I'm not sure that working in Hollywood has prepared you to have an informed opinion on his qualifications for a run at the oval office. He meets the payrolls for thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of workers every month. That's a pretty good credential. He's a little better qualified than you to hold the office. He's got a degree in economics from one of the finest universities in the country, Wharton. And you? Oh, that's right. You dropped out of high school. I'll take you to task for one more thing. You tweeted that you'll leave the planet for Jupiter if he wins. Excuse me? If you can't have what you want, you pack up and leave? You have no commitment to change, no willingness to fight for what you believe that America is all about? Nope, you just want to run. Contrast that with our founding fathers, who pledged "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor" for what they believed in. And many of them gave full measure for their commitment to the American dream. You and I will disagree about many things, but there's a chance that we might agree about one thing: You, ma'am, are no patriot. Patriot's don't run. You know what would grab my attention and respect? Someday an actor will announce his unhappiness with our political situation, and follow that with a commitment to spend a year working for change - no movies, no tv shows, just working for change. But that day won't come. Best regards, Bill Leslie
