In a letter that the Portsmouth Herald headlines ‘NH GOP needs to disavow Trump’ reader Cate Svedson says: ‘As a former Republican, I am frightened by what I hear coming from Trump and the GOP. I have switched to being an independent because I cannot condone Trump’s rhetoric and everything that he stands for. But not supporting Trump goes beyond voting; it also means we hold Trump and the GOP accountable.‘

In the naval port of Portsmouth, Virginia, the Virginian-Pilot reports a lively debate over a teacher’s costume for a Halloween event in Staunton, Va. - Hillary Clinton in a prison costume.

The paper says: ‘The superintendent of Staunton City Schools says no one has complained directly to her office about a high school secretary dressing up as Hillary Clinton in an orange prison jumpsuit for Halloween.

‘However, several people have taken to social media to express concern about the costume after a picture of the secretary appeared on Robert E. Lee High School’s website. The photo also showed the school principal, who was dressed as Donald Trump.’
