See below. Please take a shot ad adding in bullet points as we talked about. I can help when you are ready.

Donald Trump is unfit to be president. Every aspect of his candidacy will harm our country and damage our standing in the world.

1) Even as a candidate, Trump has done real damage to geopolitical relationships across the globe, and in the White House, Trump would undeniably make us less safe.

*         Donald Trump has no foreign policy experience and rather than seeking the advice of well-respected experts, Trump relies on his own misinformed ideas and "good brain."

*         Trump has falsely claimed that he knows "more than the generals" and recommended that the U.S. military commit international war crimes.

*         Trump's threat to pull back from our most important military alliances<https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/donald-trump-and-the-end-of-nato/2016/03/04/e8c4b9ca-e146-11e5-8d98-4b3d9215ade1_story.html>, attack our allies, and offer gushing praise for dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un  would put our country on a dangerous path.

*         Trump has refused to say he wouldn't use nuclear weapons on European territory, and wants to allow countries that don't currently have nuclear weapons to get them, reversing long-held goals of international nuclear disarmament, and once suggested launching a first strike against a dangerous country like North Korea.

2) He has a decades-long record of denigrating women and promoting misogyny and his policies would XXXx.

3) He's exploited racial anxieties and cultural fears in the pursuit of getting elected -- to the point where his rallies have sparked violence against people of color, protestors, and the media.

4) Though he tries to paint a picture of his wealth and business success, his record is riddled with embarrassing failures and cheap schemes that are designed to turn quick a buck at the expense of his workers or everyday Americans. His policies would once again, leave Americans behind.

*         Trump's businesses have repeatedly gone bankrupt, leaving investors, contractors and small businesses and others holding the bag for his disastrous business decisions

*         His Trump "University" fleeced thousands of Americans simply looking to get ahead

*         Despite his tough talk on trade deals and the loss of American jobs, Donald Trump manufactureds his clothing line in countries he rails against, like China and Mexico overseas

*         Trump's unfounded predictions<http://www.cnbc.com/2016/04/03/trump-predicts-very-massive-recession-in-us.html> of recession under President Obama and warnings against investing in the stock market are reckless.

*         Economists have actually predicted Trump's policies could start an international trade war and even destabilize the global economy<http://www.cbsnews.com/media/is-donald-trump-a-menace-to-the-global-economy/>.

*         Trump's tax plan would overwhelmingly benefit the rich while costing the country $9.5 trillion to implement -- more than any other Republican plan proposed. It also violates his pledge not to increase the national debt.

*         Trump actually said at one of the Republican Party's debates that "wages are too high" and opposes raising the minimum wage

*         Trump wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which would jeopardize health care for 20 million Americans who've been able to get coverage under Obamacare.
