65. H2O Man, between HRC and Trump, who would you support?

If you select HRC, that puts you in the same boat with the Bush family.

You undoubtedly have different reasons, but to be fair, I think the vast majority of people not taken in by Trump's lies and demagoguery understand that he would be dangerous to the national interests of our country regardless of a person's economic status or political ideology.

Electing Donald Trump as POTUS would badly damage our already tarnished image, and most sane people don't want him anywhere near the nuclear codes.

I very much agree that Hillary Clinton is the establishment candidate who will do nothing to change the economic power structure controlled by wealthy elites, but Donald Trump is such an aberration that judging Hillary by those who won't support him is not a fair gauge.
