or whether I will vote for a candidate other than Hillary but not Trump. I just don't know.

Trump is bad, but he is also incompetent, completely incompetent.

Hillary is also bad (her neocon beliefs are not that much better than Trump's), but claims to be competent.

What is worse, a bad candidate who is incompetent or a bad candidate who at least claims to be competent. That is a tough one for me.

Things could change between now and November.

I'm voting for Bernie on Tuesday, and so are a lot of my friends.

So right now, I am voting for Bernie and loving it.

We shall see whether Hillary really makes it to November and the Democratic nomination. Life is full of surprises. At least mine has been up till now.
