In the end, Trump is the only possibly electable choice this time around. Not voting, or voting for anyone other than Trump, helps Hillary which will be VERY bad for our country and the producers in it.

You will help Hillary run our lives. If thats what you want, they you got it. Unfortunately the rest of us will have to live with the results of Hillary. Two of my employees (out of 10) will be out of work if she takes over and can get the $15/hr wage and higher taxes through. Plus, there will be no incentive to make my business larger, because the unbelievable taxes when I would sell it would take away the reason for having it.

It isnt often that we get a clear cut choice in the presidential election. Hillary will advance us towards socialism and government control and cronyism. Trump will put the brakes on all those things, at least somewhat. He will buy the country time to let the freedom lovers and libertarians to educate the populace to not WANT socialism.

If you dont vote or vote third party this time, you will essentially let Hillary take over, since Trump is in the #2 spot in the election. Its your decision.

My grandfather told me many years ago that if you don't vote, you have no right to complain. It was obvious he voted in every election because he complained all the time...

Why am I suddenly thinking of Don Quixote?

Please watch "The Enemies Within." If you don't vote for Trump this election, you might not ever have an opportunity to vote for a Rand Paul, Gary Johnson, etc. The Dems (Socialist and Communist) are going to be registering refugees and illegals in great numbers. 75% of them vote Dem.

I've long been a quiet supported of Galt's Gluch however this is my first post; here goes...

I've been watching Trump for decades now but only in this campaign season grown to support him as Commander in Chief. I've told many skeptics since early in the primary that while I don't imagine him as a particularly savvy or bright leader, perhaps more "street smart" than anything else, I do think he is courageous enough to hire the best and brightest to advise him. IMHO, he does not have what it would take to build the commercial "empire" he leads. Perhaps there was some luck in addition to financial support from his family, already successful but far from empire status.

What I like about Trump is that he will (IMO) go out and find the "best and brightest" ultimately building a team that will provide the best council and advice. I can't deny that I do hold some concern regarding his use of that advice.

I do not believe, in fact past performance indicates clearly to me, that the HRC leadership team would be made up of the same advisors. In fact, preference would more likely not be "courageous" in nature; more likely, to use an honorable word in a dishonorable context, preference would be for "loyalists" more trusted to protect the emperor and foundation.

I find myself confident that Trump will have the courage to bring into his administration folks smarter than himself and that he will listen to their advice. I can't ask for more than that.

Given there is no Whig candidate this year, vote for your choice of Republican.

You must do as your conscience dictates. If the consequences of this election were not so serious not voting might be an option. But Mrs. Clinton and her partner in crime are so very evil that having her as president would truly be a disaster, not only for America, but for the world. Her administration would not merely be something that could rectified in four years, but the start of anything goes in the sense that the winner will be whoever is the most conniving , backstabbing, murderous, scoundrel.

write-in candidate. mrpresident2016.com is a veteran and a working man

He has looked so much more palettable as the campaign has reach its eclipse Clinton emails have shown her and her ilk to be corrupt and deceitful , pay for play , constant lies, attacking the truth seekers and victims of their dispicable actions. FOF

I think this point had been made. There are two contexts:
1) If not in a swing state, your vote will not effect. the electorial process. Then voting for Johnson or McMullen will reduce the visible support for the two parties that need a strong 2x4 to the head. This helps communicate to their party leadership and the public at large that we consider them unfit for our needs.
2) If in a swing state, vote for Trump for at least the Supreme Court consequences. And then there's dealing with federal power abuse in every realm: healthcare, energy, drugs, education, wages, marriage, what bathroom to use, who has to make a cake for whom.

I don't think you are justified. You are saying as an American citizen I not do my duty and I will just follow the crowd and I don't care what happens.
From my perspective, you may be allowing a criminal to be elected to the WH. It sounds like to me that you have not done your due diligence in researching who to vote. You may want to view this -Please consider this view point from Israel.

SPECIAL MESSAGE CONCERNING TRUMP

I do not know the man in this video, but one of our correspondents sent
this to me, and I feel compelled in my spirit to forward it on now to you.
Please take the time to watch this short message. It was recorded only a
couple of days ago, and as I write this, it has already been viewed nearly
three million times on Facebook and YouTube.
We believe this video has been so widely viewed for a reason. Perhaps God
is using it to send His people a message.

I'm not a fan of reality TV, so I tend to ignore the character assassination element of politicking. I'd rather focus on the policy issues. Simply put, when I say to a liberal audience, "The government is captive and obedient to a wealthy elite, neglectful of its duties, crushing the middle class and trapping the poor into subsistence servitude," I get lots of vigorous positive head nodding. When I follow up with "Then why would making this corrupt, incompetent government even bigger and giving it more power to abuse be the solution?" I see gaping mouths, shocked stares, and silence. Clinton favors the bigger government solution, which means more destruction of our individual liberty, so I'm voting against her.

No. The self-made business emperor will not arrest you for criticizing him. The seller of offices and policies will. She once did it, too. Witness the arrest of a videographer on a trumped-up charge.

With whom do you best identify?: Dagny Taggart, trying her best to keep the motor running, or John Galt, who realizes the futility of such action?

When the choice is "Who will do the least harm?" The decision is unpleasant but unavoidable. Trump is right about one thing, the system is rigged against honest politicians (that may be an oxymoron), the fix is in and has been for years. We have the illusion of democracy and, unfortunately, that is good enough for some people.

I will enthusiastically vote for Donald Trump. I find most of the arguments against him to be regarding his, shall we say "bombastic" style. They never mention anything regarding what he has been saying on the campaign trail. Do they even listen to him? The people who continue to blast him never mention how he's grown and learned this past year. And, it is obvious that he has. The idea FOR ONCE in our lifetimes to have a true CITIZEN legislator president is very appealing to me. The fact that he has proven that he is a fighter, fiscally responsible, and makes the case day in and day out that he actually does care about America and the American people is compelling, too. I think he's kind of a verbal bumbler and he's certainly not perfect. However, he speaks from the heart and that heart appears to be a bit pugnacious but an actual AMERICAN heart. My two cents.

This analysis ignores the whole electoral process. The US popular vote means nothing for the office of president.
Only is close "swing" states does this analysis come even close to applying.

Your choice, maybe justified is not the correct word, however. Are you justified in allowing Hillary to dismantle the Constitution and sell access to the Presidency. Actually, i guess justified, is right, IF you have done all the homework and find that letting Hillary win is okay with you based on research. Just don't feel justified to complain if your lack or research end up not allowing you to own property, as is coming with Agenda 21. Your choice, your responsibility to suck it up.

I think you should vote. To me, this election is not Trump v Hillary. There are too many other things at stake.

The Supreme Court, for a major example, Hillary regards Ruth Bader Ginsburg as her model Supreme Court justice, and I think Ginsburg is one of the worst judges ever appointed. Trump's potential nominees — he named 20 and 11 are approved by the Cato Institute, a think tank to which I give high respect. The poorest nominee by Trump would be better than any nominee by the Queen of Corruption.

This same thing will happen down the line of regulatory agencies such as the EPA, Labor Board, etc., all of which have been strangling business even more than taxes have.

As for the defense of the United States, Peace through Strength, the Eisenhower policy, will be the Trump policy. I expect Trump will negotiate with potential enemies and adversaries from a position of strength. But negotiate. Hopefully Trump will make Russia an ally to go after ISIS and America's endless wars will come to an end.

Where Clinton will continue and expand all of the policies that produced the unacceptable present, Trump will get rid of as much of the Establishment (Dems and GOP) as possible and change Washington as it has not been changed since Ronald Reagan rode in from the West. I love his expression of “Drain the Swamp.” This is a tremendous threat to those in power and they will lie, cheat, and steal to keep their power.

For these, and other, reasons I think we need to rally around Trump.

I think you might need to read from a broader base of news stories.
Hillary is the textbook definition of a Looter, corrupt to the core, selling out the country at every possibly opportunity for her personal gain, a pathological liar, that is incapable of telling the truth or feeling remorse. Totally despises the rule of law and will accelerate the current administration trend of turning the government at all levels into their own private corrupt dictatorship. She also plans openly to take even more from producers to give to those who won't work.

The only "competent" thing she does in politics is taking bribes and getting ahead... just look at her time in the State Department... she was very competent when it came to getting "donations" to her foundation from all over the world... foreign policy... well Libya and Syria were her ideas... How'd that work out? Any other actual successes you want to attribute to her?

Trump has his flaws, (Nobody is going to rise to the top of politics that is perfect Ever). But he is leaps and bounds better. He's a tough business man who always tries to get the best deal he can in his own self interest. He will make a much better president for the country than Hillary.

But if you only listen to "news" sources that are either paid by Hillary or who openly and fanatically endorse her for president, what do you expect to hear?

"Sure, voting isn't and shouldn't be mandatory"

Particularly for uninformed voters...

Why would you vote for a candidate that does not reflect your views?

Of course, you will always get the sheep who say "Not voting is a vote for (insert name of their arch enemy here)", and there are also the ones who prefer you to vote for evil by "voting for the lesser of 2 evils", but seriously - if you can't align yourself with a candidate, why would you vote for someone who doesn't represent your views.

It IS true you then get stuck with who the sheep have determined will be your leader for 4+ years, which may not be a good thing - but you will be able to sleep at night.

...and wiping his butt with the Constitution.
