How is it throwing away your vote to vote for the candidate that best represents you and what you think is best constitutionally?

I understand that.. I really do... but I personally think that trump is out best bet to defeat Hillary. . I'd be real happy if there was a better choice but there's not... 😟

I have previously described myself as a liberaltarian, which I think is quite accurate for my amalgamation of issue by issue beliefs. I won't vote Hillary because she appears to be an awful person with a wide ranging amoral compass. I suspect Trump is more liberal than she, but I won't vote Trump for pretty much the same reasons as HC. Looked at Gary Johnson (that's his name, right?), but he has some views it's difficult for me to get past, so no option there. Looked at Jill Stein - see previous comments on Johnson. I find myself in a political pickle without many options left.

Of course, living in a state that will overwhelmingly vote Trump, as well as one where I had ask three times to get a Democratic primary ballot (the first two the ignored my request and gave me Republican - but, hey, only Dems do stuff like that, right?), I'm pretty sure my vote for President won't change much.

do you trust Trump with this pick? He also might have a lot to win or lose.
Congress should have looked into Obama's pick. He may have been the right one.

Drafter, I don't vote 3rd party to feel better, I vote 3rd party because I believe the candidate is the best choice. I do understand your point, but it is not the most important point for me. The most important point for me is voting for who I feel is the best choice. My beliefs align the closest with the Libertarian party.

I like a lotta what the libertarians have to say also... but it's just not gonna happen. .. meanwhile we have to play defense. ... the third party votes may not make the difference. .. but it would suck if it did. . I'll still love you guys no matter what... I'm just offering my thoughts. .. 😟

I'm voting third party. If forced by drafter to vote Hillary to Trump I'll go Hillary then fling myself off a cliff.

I am strongly leaning towards Johnson, as well. I fully understand, Drafter. I don't make this choice lightly. But, I cannot, in good conscience, vote for either Trump or Clinton. Won't do it. I agree that Johnson cannot win. But, I do think that every percentage point that he gets can put this country closer to considering a third party. At this point very few people can conceive of it. There was a slight swell after Perot's showing, but it has all but disappeared. I don't care if a party that I totally disagree with sprouts up because of it. I want the electorate to get past the either/or. I'd bet 90% of all voters that already decided long, long ago (whether they know it or not) that they were going to vote for their party's nominee no matter who it was. That depresses me.

I don't post in this Forum, and I don't read the threads either.
But I've been wondering how in the heck we ended up with our two presidential candidates.
It's almost incomprehensible.
So, who to vote for, given one is to choose between the two of them.
:-&
So my question to all you really smaaaht political commentators is:
Which of our two candidates, will our competitors, adversaries, and enemies fear more, and why?
