I am in a quandary. I need advice. Do I.. 1. Vote for Hillary 2. Vote for Trump or 3. Not vote at all Originally I was going to hold my nose and vote for Hillary. But now with new disclosures and listening to past CIA director, and absorbing Colin Powell's hacked e-mails I am not certain I can do that anymore. I also can't vote for stein or Johnson. My friends have told me "you've got to vote." I need advice and counsel. You are my advisors. What should I do on Election Day??

Why can't you vote for Gary Johnson? Stein's pandering to the 9/11 truthers, so I understand not wanting to vote for her. Also, Evan McMullin, the conservative independent candidate may be your speed if he's on your state's ballot.
Additionally, you should make sure you vote in the down-ballot elections, regardless of what you do with your presidential votes.

I welcome your vote. My key platform plank is forcing Duke to return the 1999 NCAA money they earned with an ineligible Corey Maggette.

Well there's a simple way to choose who to vote for - do you prefer being punched in the face or kicked in the ribs?

My 2 cents: if you live in a battleground you simply have to pinch your nose harder and vote for Hillary. For the safety of the Republic.
If you live in one of the other 42 or so states...vote for Gary Johnson and Bill Weld. We need to end this two party madness and they are getting historic third party numbers. I live in NJ and am voting for Johnson. My wife will be voting Democrat for the first time in her life. Not because she wants to vote for any woman- but because voting for that pig would be something we could never explain to our daughter. Nice job older angry white males. With demographic trends being what they are, enjoy the last election of your lifetime a Republican has even a small shot of winning. Hope that temper tantrum was worth it.

I have little patience for the notion that they are both equally bad. Let me preface this with saying I've never voted for a Democrat and I interned at the RNC a million years ago. And yet.....it is a pretty simple compare. She is unlikable & dishonest but capable & knowledgeable with an army of policy experts that she trusts. He is unlikeable (more so) & dishonest (way more so) but also very unknowledgeable about the world while being a conman who inherited the wealth that is the cornerstone of his candidacy. Oh...and he has a history of never really delegating or being open to learning with an inner circle of advisors that all happen to have the last name Trump. To be fair there is also a Putin stooge in there as well. He is an existential threat to our country and world security and prosperity. Get over the damn email server before we all die.

If you add requiring Villanova to return its 1985 trophy for using a cokehead as a point guard, you've got my vote.

Finally I know what to do. Elvado has my vote. Harry has to be Grand Marshall of the Inaugural Parade.
