I don't like going into the election with having to choose between the lesser of two evils. Perhaps I'm old fashioned, or maybe I'm boneheaded, but I feel that my vote should go to the candidate that best deserves it. Not saying that's right, just saying that's how I feel. And, thus far, without yet researching third party candidates, I'm not satisfied with giving anyone my vote.

Trump annoys me, but he doesn't scare me. If elected, I think enough members of Congress are going to butt heads with him and he won't get anything done. At the very worst, we'll end up with a lame duck president, or he'll get impeached.

I think the only guarantee right now is that it's going to be a bumpy ride through November.

As is also the case, there are no "virgins" in American politics -- those looking for ideological purity are always disappointed. Either vote for whom you like best or against whom you dislike most.

But if you sit at home and don't vote, the rest of us will decide.
