I'm not Goldilocks. No perfect candidate is going to come down from the sky and perfectly align with my thoughts on all the issues like some savior from above. There is no "just right" candidate for everyone, or probably for anyone. And this "trust" stuff? Who actually trusts politicians? Did we not all learn this valuable lesson in grade school when our elected class officers did not actually follow through with getting us all our own personal vending machine filled with our favorite sodas and candies? I mean, damn, people. Trust?

If you don't have trust in any politician, then why bother voting for Hilary? Who's to say she's not blowing smoke on the issues you do think she closely aligns with you on? Or is she your 'lesser of two evils'?
If it's the latter, I'd say that's how we all would approach politicians and who we vote for, to some degree. Just like you won't find one that aligns 100% with your beliefs, you probably won't find one you explicitly trust 100%. That's why I look at their record compared to their talking points ... that usually tells me what I need to know.

I'm sorry; that's not intentional (though ... )
I have a friend with same name, and I always forget who has one "L" vs. two.
Be thankful, I was going to type "Hellary".

IMO, Once he secure the GOP nomination he'll calm down.ruby59|1456950410|3998647 said:Clinton is my lesser of 2 evils. I am hoping we are wrong about her.
But with Trump, I do not think so. IMO he will ruin this country. He is so arrogant now trying to get people to vote for him. Cannot even imagine how he will be if he wins.
