If I vote for Hillary Clinton, I'd have to vote for bigger government, which I am against. I also don't trust Hillary. I don't like her foreign policy. I don't like her tax philosophy or healthcare system. She talks about women's rights, but then accepts huge donations from countries who oppress women. If I HAD to pick one thing I like about Hillary, it is that she is a woman. But that is not a good enough reason to vote for someone. If I vote for a presidential candidate because she is a woman, she had better be a qualified woman, not just a woman. It's like all the people who voted for Barack Obama because he is Black. I would never vote for someone based on ethnicity or gender, only their qualifications. I have to admit when Obama first entered the race, I was really excited about the prospect of electing a Black president. Think of what it signified? When just 150 years ago blacks were slaves, and now look how far they've come? But Obama wasted his opportunity.
Then there is Donald Trump. I do like the fact that he is not a career politician, that he has a business background and negotiating skills, and that he wants to make "American great again." But, I have real concerns with the Donald. I don't really care that he doesn't have experience in politics, because I think his business experience is what is needed to be a great leader. But, his personality is not worthy of the office. I don't like his bullying attitude. I don't like how he talks down and demeans others. I am worried he would treat other world leaders carelessly and put us at risk.
I don't know what to do! I just heard about McMullin who is a conservative running as an independent for President. I haven't researched him too far yet. But even if I do and I like what I see, the result will not help elect McMullin, it will likely help elect Clinton. Never Clinton. See the dilemma?
