Ok KC. You voted for Hilllary. I'll remember that in the future.
I agree completely and could add more to what you say about Trump. He's a horrible choice. However, the other choice is Hillary. Is she worse? I think so. You see what you get with her. We know what she will do. Trump is unknown. We have 6 months to watch him. Maybe he'll change for the better. If he doesn't, he has no chance of beating Hillary.RonC said:I am an economic conservative, an active defender of gun rights, more of a Libertarian on social issues with a live and let live approach to life. I am non-religious and prefer to not bring religion into political arguments. I weigh scientific inference based on hypothesis testing more heavily than political feelings.
That said, I am shocked and aghast at the choice we will have for president. I neither like nor trust Clinton. But my disdain for Trump is even greater. This is the guy who said that McCain, a man who would not speak against his country while in a North Vietnamese prison and would not leave the other prisoners behind and therefore suffered 5 more years of torture, was not a hero because he had been captured?! Astounding! A man (Trump) who probably avoided the draft due to his father's wealth and contacts, saying such a thing about a brave and selfless man!! Disgusting!!
Trump says he won't let businesses leave the country and take the jobs with them. How? That is not something a president can do. He is going to make Mexico pay for a wall. How? When politicians from Mexico laugh at you, what does that make you? He is going to make war on international trade and make us isolationist. How, put on tariffs? Rampant inflation here we come. People won't be happy when their new remote control goes from $19 now to $49, then.
Trump is a narcissistic liar. He claims after the fact that he didn't say something absurd, then it shows up on video.
He is the epic demagogue who speaks only in 20 sec bumper sticker soundbites.
But, what the heck do I do when the election comes around? This election, for me, is absolutely painful. How can I bring myself to vote for a person I consider not far from being a clown?
I have never stressed about an election before. But it stresses me to choose the least evil. These people are the best we have to offer?

Boy how true that picture really turned out to be!FrontierGander said:
