[QUOTE="carp614, post: 74432035, member: 386520"] Such a difficult question that I have struggled with for years. I voted for him last time because I found him to be more trustworthy than Hillary. Mind you, it is not that I trusted Trump, only that I trusted him more than her. My "ethic" was originally to write in my chosen candidate, a protest vote if you will. But the polls made it look like she was going to win in my state. I felt my hand was forced. So am I going to vote for him again next time? I really don't want to, but it looks like I am going to have to vote for him again. Why? simple... Because the agenda on the left is so totally appalling to me, the Democratic party platform is so completely anathema to my beliefs, that I am forced to vote for a egomaniacal, narcissistic, buffoon. Here is my ethic now: Having rights is messy. People are imperfect. My expectations of the person I vote for have to be pragmatic. I have to find the [I]least worst[/I] candidate and vote for them, because the best candidate for the office didn't even run. [/QUOTE]
