I do NOT want this man's vote.

The former George W. Bush administration official who is often referred to as the “architect” of the Iraq War says he will likely end up voting for Hillary Clinton for president this fall.

Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense under President Bush from 2001-2005, told the English-language version of the German newspaper Der Spiegel that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump represents a security risk for the U.S. and that his praise for strongmen like Russian President Vladimir Putin and former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is “pretty disturbing.”

“The only way you can be comfortable about Trump's foreign policy is to think he doesn't really mean anything he says. That's a pretty uncomfortable place to be in,” Wolfowitz said. “Our security depends on having good relationships with our allies. Trump mainly shows contempt for them.”

Because he is so uncomfortable with Trump, Wolfowitz said he would likely vote for Clinton, albeit grudgingly.

She always looks good. Dresses most presentably and looks professional. Impeccably groomed. But perhaps on occasion, she's stepped on a wad of discarded chewing gum and gotten it on the bottom of her shoe.

6. It has more to do with hatred of Rump than support of Hillary.

The big picture, i.e. VICTORY IN NOVEMBER, is what I'm focusing on!
