I understand and respect your feelings. You have a reason to be upset.

However, I would humbly ask you if Donald Trump will do any better, or will he, in fact, be WORSE? You know the answer to that question, right?

I truly believe there will be time of reckoning for those who have misled us. But that time isn't now. We must stop Trump for the good of this country and for the good for the rest of the free world.

Please think about that and consider that you aren't so much voting FOR Clinton as AGAINST Trump. Voting for the Clinton/Kaine ticket is the only option that prevents a certain outbreak of world wide war.
