Herald should better represent minority who support Trump

I would like to subscribe to The Herald, but I cannot stand its constant vilification of Donald Trump and conservatives in its editorials, cartoons and columnists.

Snohomish County voted nearly 40 percent for Trump, but you feature Trump and conservative hate 100 percent of the time.

You owe us Trump and conservative party supporters at least 40 percent positive coverage, or at very least include opinions, columnists and editorials which present both sides of the political spectrum.

As it is, you have no balance at all.

And you just might pick up a number of new subscribers from the 40 percent of Snohomish County who supports Trump.

Like me.
