You may not like it, but you only have TWO realistic choices in this 2016 presidential election.
On the Left, you have Hillary Clinton.
Towards the Right, you have Donald Trump.
There are other contenders, but unless you've been smoking wacky weed, you know that they are not going to win.

Musing on the 2016 race for the White House
It really is not about Clinton or Trump
Here are some points to ponder:
1. The next president will be one of those two. The third party candidate can't win.
2. That president will appoint some unknown number of Supreme Court Justices. They will have a profound effect on us for the next forty years. This includes your progeny.
3. That president will appoint various federal trial judges and federal appellate judges.
4. That president will appoint various federal prosecutors.
5. Undoubtedly, she will go far left in those appointments, if she is elected.
6. We don't absolutely know about him.
7. None of us has a crystal ball and we don't really know who (between those two) that president will be.
8. A vote for Trump is a vote against Clinton.
9. A third party vote, while it may make you feel better about yourself, will not help defeat Clinton.
10. It's not about picking a winner, it't trying to make a winner.
11. As John Richardson paraphrases Donald Rumsfeld: When you go to war, you go with the Army you have, not the Army you wish you had. (You don't have Ted Cruz, and the 3rd party can't win.)

The Hawkeye Cauci*
I am forever amazed at the number of people the media interview who don't make up their minds until the last minute.
If you are one of those, the first thing you must do if you are going to cast an intelligent vote is to examine your own core beliefs.
Now, of those that are left, which candidate's actions and statements align most closely with your core beliefs?
If you are one of those, the first thing you must do if you are going to cast an intelligent vote is to examine your own core beliefs.
- Do you believe that life begins at conception? YES or NO. If your answer is yes, then that will help eliminate some candidates.
- Do you believe that we are a constitutional republic, and that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land; including the Bill or Rights? YES or NO. If your answer is yes, then that will eliminate some candidates, too.
- Do you believe that the Bill of Rights is a package deal, and not a smorgasbord to pick and choose from? YES or NO. Again, the process of elimination.
Now, of those that are left, which candidate's actions and statements align most closely with your core beliefs?
