 Abstaining or voting 3rd party is not the same as voting for Hillary (L) |

I agree and respect the right to not vote as a political freedom in and of itself. Especially if the act of abstaining is purposeful and not out of sloth or apathy. And I have long argued that each party assumes that my "non-vote" is the same as voting for the other one, they can't both be right.
That said, while I have felt the same for most of this campaign, I am now considering a vote AGAINST Hillary Clinton by voting for Trump (if a strong 3rd party had emerged by now, I'd vote that way, but it has not). IF I do, it will not be with expectations that we will have a great president in Donald Trump, in fact I doubt our economy will prosper at all (but that's just me being a conservative and not a populist), but HRC stands against every single thing I believe in, and while Trump's life shows he may as well, he has released a list of SCOTUS nominees that I feel "trumps" HRC so much that I MAY go ahead and vote AGAINST her. I hate this election more than any in my life. |

Sorry Eddie, but simple common sense logic says that any vote not cast against Hillary of necessity must become equal to a vote in her favor. And, while I have no great desire to vote for Trump, I cannot contribute in any possible way to putting Hillary in the White House. Never happen!!! |

Im mor concerned about your sources and specifically your christian thought based on the origin of this article.
Are you a subscriber to reformed theology and it's practices?
If so, we have greater issues than trump and hillary here. |

I was almost there to until slug mouth trump called the congress woman Pocahontas. What a complete imbecile.
I will not reach into Americas garbage can of filth and debauchery to pull out one of the two politicians that reside there.
I firmly believe that since our nation has abandoned "respect" that God will put a man in office that also has none. |

Its hard to tell who is more offensive, Trump or his hard-line supporters, both are repelling. He doesn't stand a chance in my opinion. Once the Democratic ticket is locked up and she has her bounce, she will never look back. It doesn't matter to her supporters how much of a criminal she is. Most voters with strong morals will sit this one out and that helps her the most. |

Nope....just saw the article on Facebook and agree with it. Has nothing to do with religion. My vote for Gary Johnson is for Gary Johnson. It is one less vote for Hillary and one less vote for Trump, equally. The writer does a great job explaining how I feel and thought I would post it. |

If this proves to be true, you are right, JD, Hillary will be the beneficiary.

To put things in perspective who would you vote for as a pastor for your church?
1. A whiskey drunken pedophile with a 30 page rap sheet
2. A wine drunken pedophile with a 40 page rap sheet
Not voting at all is a vote for candidate #1.
Hey Your man said it .. not me...

I agree.
What would one expect a reformed guy to say?
Whatever will be will be. Que sera sera.

Trump was right. Republicans are very dumb.
Republicans will sit at home and let Hillary win.
Hillary voters would vote a know nothing community organizer in before they would let Romney win. They knew Obama would more likely pick Supreme Justices that would help with their agenda than Romney.
Much smarter.

IF, IF and only IF the Libertarian gains real traction with even a possibility of wining, I would vote Libertarian.
The last Libertarian got over a million popular votes If I remember right, sounds great until you figure that is a drop in the bucket to what is needed.
As of now, I will vote Trump, I cannot stand the thoughts of having Hillary appoint TWO possibly THREE Justices to the SC. OUCH, that would sure give the Liberals a BOOST or a blank check. Think bathrooms are a problem?

| I'm not sure Trump will nominate better justices than Hillary. Justices do change their philosophies once they are there. Take a look at history. Some liberal justices were nominated by conservative presidents. And Trump is no conservative. Libertartian for me! |

I was hoping that a big name would be announced for the Libertarian party, something like "Paul". Gary Johnson is just not a big enough name in my opinion. That said, I MAY still vote for him if Trump keeps it up. |

| Wish on fellers, but at this point in history there is no way the Libertarian or Independent candidate can/will win. Don't waste your vote. It would be just like votin for AJT for GO at the assembly. It ain't gonna happen. |

| Sometimes, you vote for your guy even if you know they don't have a chance. Just like you do at the Assembly. 😂 |
