Eliminate Commiecare, end the open border policy, send the illegals home, rebuild the military.

I'll give you this: you never deviate from a binary view of the world.

Are you less binary for not accepting Trump than I am for not accepting Hillary? Because

Yes, because I reject both of them and choose third, fourth or fifth options. You see two.

I don't begrudge people "wasting" their votes on 3rd parties. Why do you begrudge strategic voting?

I don't begrudge it.

Goofballs out in the streets doing that garbage represent a small percentage of Dems.

You would have to write a book to list her faults. There isn't enough room on this system for that.

"the end of small business." More parody of Obama-derangement syndrome from Baron.

No, I own a small business & know many others who do as well.

Trump is wishy-washy on many issues. He has no real ideology. He is just an executive.

He's not even a good executive. He's a great self promoter and maker of real estate deals.

THEISMANCARR

To be fair, Khan attacked first. And, it was a derisive attack (waiving the constitution).

And I'd add again, Trump went after the mother. What kind of man does that?

Hillary lied to the mother who lost her son in Benghazi. What kind of person does that?

Well I'd consider Trumps numerous attacks on Muslims to be the instigator

That is reasonable up to the point you believe that someone who makes an attack should be immune.

We have a "first past the post" system of voting. It requires me to choose the lesser evil.
