Blogsite Encourages Battleground Senators to Support or Oppose Trump
In the upcoming elections for US senator, many incumbent US senators and/or their challengers try to distance themselves from Republican presidential nominee. Donald Trump.
Andrew Yamamoto, creator of the InternationalMosaic.com blogsite, noted that “whether a public official wants to be associated with Mr. Trump or not: Given the stakes involved, a person cannot commit to voting for voting for Mr. Trump, without sharing responsibility for disasters that may ensue if he is elected President.”
For example, in New Hampshire, as the LA Times explained, Senator Ayotte is trying to avoid the controversies caused by Trump.

To encourage Senator Ayotte and Governor Hassan, her opponent, to clarify their positions, on September 30, 2016, InternationalMosaic.com has sent each of them a short 14 question survey. Once Senator Ayotte and/or Governor Hassan, answer the survey questions, InternationalMosaic.com will publicize the answers (or the failure to answer).
In question number 8, we ,,, ask senators and/or candidates about Mr. Trump’s statements about the judicial system.
- Donald Trump made headlines by claiming that the Judge hearing the case against Mr. Trump has an “Absolute Conflict” of interest. Mr. Trump argued that Judge Gonzalo Curiel’s Mexican American heritage disqualified the judge from hearing cases that involved Mr. Trump. http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-keeps-up-attacks-on-judge-gonzalo-curiel-1464911442 Do you agree that the judge’s ethnic heritage is a valid reason for him to be disqualified?
_____ Yes
_____ No
_____ Decline to Answer/ No Answer
In question 10, we said:
- On August 8, 2016, the New York Times reported that:
“Dozens of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter saying they will not vote for Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee.”
The letter said, in part:
“From a foreign policy perspective, Donald Trump is not qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief. Indeed, we are convinced that he would be a dangerous President and would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”

Do you agree that Donald Trump would endanger “our country’s national security and well-being”?
_____ Yes
_____ No
_____ Decline to Answer/ No Answer
Regardless of one’s political perspective, the public deserves clear answers these questions. As Andrew Yamamoto says:
“Like a street hustler playing Three-card Monte, some cagey senators are trying to distract the public from the real issues. As the senior Republican foreign policy officials said: ‘Indeed, we are convinced that he would be a dangerous President and would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being. ‘”
