Quote:I applaud you guys who are voting for Trump even though you really don't like him for it. I want to keep Clinton as far away from the WH as possible, but I just cannot vote for Trump. Johnson is not my ideal Libertarian candidate, I like Austin Peterson much better, and I'm fairly sure Johnson will not win so it's almost like I'm throwing my vote away. But I just can't vote Trump. My husband will so there is that. 

 

And FBT could be right. Trump as POTUS could be surprisingly good for the reasons he stated. I would rather it be that than the total cluster I envision in my head. I just don't know.....

 

That's understandable and nothing wrong with that.

 

This is soley my opinion and I by no means mean to be disrespectful to either you or D6.  As I said before, as a Conservative I feel that this country and the Supreme Court vacancy that needs to be filled is just too important.  In my mind, D6 choosing to write in Ted Cruz and your choosing to vote for another candidate is just a couple of votes for Hillary.

 

That's OK.  Each person has to vote the way that they think is right.

 

That being said though, I think people need to take a hard look at where this country is right now, where it was 8 years ago and determine for themselves if they think that we are on the right path.  Consider what a Hillary Clinton presidency would mean for all of us.

 

Quote:Exactly this. And he doesn't hate the 'rich man' per se, he just doesn't see how the 'rich man' can understand the working man's POV and want to help the working man in any way. He comes from a very humble background and is a very good man who truly hates no one, so this is a puzzle to me. Well.....there is the Bernie Madoff thing. He did lose a lot of his retirement in that debacle, but he's always felt this way so that's not the problem though I know it didn't help matters.

 

Thank you for answering JIB. I wouldn't have seen her response and not answered.

 

Just me personally, but I don't use the "block" feature of the message board.  I personally believe in free speech and everybody's right to express their opinion, even if I disagree with it.
