Dan Rather: A few people have asked why I vehemently oppose Trump. [View all]

Let me make this perfectly clear. It's not about politics. I've voted for both parties.

It's about me, as a patriot, rejecting a cheating, lying, racist, treasonous, fascist, and vile man who attacks the free press, and wants to lead the country I love.

It's really that simple.
