Why I am voting for Trump

The election is less than one week away and I am voting for Donald trump. I see the country as the Titanic heading for the iceberg. Trump may not be perfect but I think he will at least start to turn us away from certain disaster. Hillary will step on the accelerator and destroy what is left of this once great country. I may be wrong but like Dagney and Hank I want to fight til the bitter end.

    I will be voting. If I had a strong reason to abstain, this time, what will be my reason, next time? How about the time after that? Several Democrats in the Wisconsin legislature abstained from voting on the "Right to Work" bill and it passed. Were these representatives of the people any better, simply because they didn't vote "No" and lose? I don't see it.

    I exercise, three mornings a week. Whenever I make some excuse to miss one session, it's that much more difficult to avoid making the excuse to miss another. When I make difficult decisions for our household...I don't abstain and relegate the decision to my neighbor. I make the decision and live with the results...good or bad, knowing I did my best.

    Ayn Rand wrote something like, in the choice between food and poison, the middle of the road is always death. I'm no philosopher, but to me, abstaining from an important decision is taking the middle of the road.

    Finally the closet Democrat resurfaces. Wonder if Hitlery contacted him for support. Johnson's choice for VP was poor from day 1 and done to attract voters from Hillary.

    I don't see how a Libertarian can defend Hillary. She represents big government and DC corruption at it's worst. Weld is a joke.

    This video on youtube explains in detail.....why I voted for Donald J Trump. https://youtu.be/qndVrBcZHyo I have a few friends from Haiti that are like close family to me...so I know the story firsthand from them. It's disgusting what the Clintons have done to these people and their country.....and they would continue to do this if elected in.

    "Washington (CNN)Libertarian vice presidential nominee Bill Weld defended Hillary Clinton Tuesday night, acknowledging an explicit split with his running mate Gary Johnson.

    "Weld, in an interview with MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, said he disagreed with FBI Director James Comey's decision to announce publicly the agency was looking into more Clinton emails just days before the election and defended the Democratic presidential nominee whom he has known for decades.

    "'I'm here vouching for Mrs. Clinton, and I think it's high time somebody did,' Weld said."

    Or whatever she sold (influence, decisions, political support, Billy boy). It's a crap election, but it's our only election. Trump is a buffoon, but he is our buffoon. The Beast belongs to no one, she can't even stay bought, look at how she ripped off Morocco (or wherever it was she sold he personal appearance for 11 million and then sent Billy Boy and Chelsea). Talk about bait and switch....

    Yes, and remember, the turd we elect (well, hope we elect, I still have reservations about the whole voting system, it is way, way to open to corruption), will be the turd to tell those same military people to go do something insane and stupid, and on one hand because someone paid her enough to do it, on the other because he will show them whos boss. I have to go with the boss, and not the looter. Neither is good, but sometimes you have to hold your nose...even septic tanks get pumped...

    I have to acknowledge the system we are stuck with. Through various manipulations by both sides, use of push button releases of bad info, it becomes a "what turd smells the least" campaign. Neither party has the credibility or courage of it's convictions, beyond gaining power to continue their own brand of looting. In this case, the biggest looter is obviously The Beast, who has helped her self and his self to every penny they can squeeze, sold everything that isn't nailed down, used every favor and blackmail, and even left a few bodies in their wake. Their total arrogant ignorance of any law, any rule, basic justice, while I am held subject to same, limits any vote to just the Anti Beast one. Stop the Beast and then hope Trey Gowdy is appointed AG.

    I'm not sure what part of me is my grates, but mine are probably well shaken as well as stirred too.

    There are on the order of 146,311,000 registered voters. So looking at in an absolute way, your vote has a 1/146,311,000 chance of influencing a winner. But relatively with all the other voters, it can be like with a heart drug test where without the drug there is a 3% absolute chance for an individual to have another stroke or heart attack while while with the medication the chance goes down to 1 1/2 % or a relative reduction of 50% for the whole population. So the patient might think he has a much larger chance of escaping another attack where only the whole group has that percentage (fewer deaths overall), while it is just 1 1/2 % points reduction for the individual. Hardly worth the discomfort from the drugs.
    So with the election, is the pain of the absolute tiny worth of the vote better than the pain of having an evil person or an immature person for POTUS? I would say that this year would be a good time to opt out because you will just get lots of pain from voting for whomever is the winner. If one votes and votes for the loser, then the vote is wasted anyway or the vote is wasted when the winner has more than enough votes to win.

    If elected the system and the country will be sacrificed to save her own butt. If Trump is elected the Clintons and the Bushs and others will fall from power---I hope.

    I still disagree that it helps the country to have an electoral college. It just encourages cronyism

    To be honest, I thought that our government was a little crooked in places, but NOT as crooked as the emails have shown. Talk about deplorable? Hillary should be kept from running for president while under FBI investigation. YOu cant even get a job at a casino here in LV if you are under FBI investigation

    I dont get how the electoral college helps the country at all. It just gives SOME citizens more of a say in picking a president than others. based on where they live.

    If elected, Hillary will not finish her 4 years.
    The Clinton crime family syndicate is about to be fully revealed and not even hardcore socialists will be able to stand against the revelations.

    The leaked e-mails have shown that even her own people say she has terrible instincts. Not a good trait for President.
