I voted this morning. Trump/Pence for POTUS/VPOTUS, and a mixture of republican and libertarian in the down-ballot.
TAM, I can imagine the reasons for your vote but I would be interested in hearing them from you.
I've seen some of your thoughts about the election and am a little surprised with your final selection and report. Did you receive the Divine Guidance that you had hoped for?
By the way we voted by mail last week. Very convenient and I attached a chip to my ballot so that I can track it.
I won't say exactly for whom I voted but I did vote mostly Republican!
Yes, I did receive that guidance, and the choice became clear. But I still wasn't entirely comfortable with it until Trump's policy speech of last week, in which he clearly and succinctly stated his 100 day plan. That was about as close to a home run as Trump has hit all season. Now I'm not naive, and I know that, as often as not, plans do not survive first contact with the enemy, and if Trump wins, he'll have to deal with an antagonistic Paul Ryan as Speaker......and that may possibly derail some of his plan. But at least I now know what Trump's
intentions are. He was not all that clear about it previously, and I discounted two of the three debates as being nothing more than gotcha sessions for the media, and he wasn't that specific in the third debate. And I remain somewhat troubled by Trump's personal moral issues. OTH, I admit that the lamestream media is pumping that aspect for all it's worth, because they are terrified of having to cover a Trump White House with the loss of access to which they will have condemned themselves by being so overtly partisan in their coverage. Furthermore, one of Trump's best selling points is Mike Pence. Let's see......something terrible happens to POTUS, and we can either have Pence or Kaine. That's a no-brainer. First of all, Pence is smart, honest, moral, and personable. And, Kaine is none of those things. He's not qualified to be dog catcher. For the life of me, I can't figure out how he made the ticket. It's like they went out of their way to pick some howdy-doody who wouldn't outshine Clinton, because she's so bad that she's easy to outshine. I wouldn't hire Kaine to pick up after my dog. Heck, even crazy old Uncle Joe Biden is more qualified than Kaine......and my dog is a lot smarter than Biden.
To me, Trump is still not the ideal candidate. But, I have no other choice but to take him at his word about SCOTUS appointments, and I think
that, more than anything, is what will define the next 25 years.
