“I have huge respect for the party of Abraham Lincoln, for Republicans,” Bono said. “And I would just say people in their local elections, if it’s a matter of conscience they can’t vote for Donald Trump, because they don’t feel he acknowledges the essence of that party, well then ask locally who is the representative who more fairly represents you.”
“We are Irish people and can’t tell people what to vote for, but we can…it’s very important to the whole world who sits in the Oval Office,” he added. “But we can say look it might just be going to far at a really difficult time in the world’s history to have someone with zero experience and capable of you know….I haven’t got my finger on the nuclear arsenal.”
