I am not going to vote for Trump. To me he is at best an egotistical blowhard who lacks empathy and is almost certainly dishonest. He's so bad that despite believing that a Clinton presidency would be little more than a means for maintaining a status quo in which We The People are kept financially enslaved by the uberwealthy, I WAS actually considering voting for her. But what can one say about someone who, after being diagnosed with pneumonia, insists (as her campaign has claimed) upon not drinking water? That is either stupid, or arrogant to an extreme of ignoring wise council of capable advisors – both of which are unacceptable in a chief executive with their finger on the trigger of nuclear destruction. And calling half of your opponent's supporters deplorable?! When Romney did something similar in the last election, Democrats (rightly) chastised him. Even if she could support such an inflammatory, mud-slinging accusation, is it not stupid to so reinforce the reputation she knows she already has for unfeeling, arrogant divisiveness – stupid to alienate a quarter of those she will be called upon to lead if she should become president?
Or maybe she's not stupid. Maybe... I have been saying for decades that the uberwealthy who really run things have been successfully finding ways to keep We The People divided among ourselves so that we will blame our problems on Blacks, or Whites, or Mexicans, or Jews, or Muslims, or welfare moms, or Republicans, or Democrats, or Progressives, or environmentalists, or gays, or rednecks, or Government... instead of on the one common enemy we all have – the uberwealthy who redistribute our wealth and power to themselves. We can't fight back against what they are doing as long as we are fighting among ourselves. Maybe THAT's what is behind the divisiveness being perpetrated by both trump and clinton.
Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe she is stupid.
Remember the hopeful days of the Bernie Sanders campaign when, despite apparent philosophical differences, he went to speak at Liberty University where, while acknowledging differences that some might inflame to be divisive, he focused instead on the issues which should unite us - and drew respect and applause. How many in the Liberty University community do you think would now applaud or respect Clinton?
To clinton supporters - if trump wins, don't blame me because I voted for Jill Stein. Blame Clinton. And blame the DNC and yourselves for insisting, even with the clear anti-establishment sentiment across the political spectrum, that the establishment candidate be the Democratic nominee despite all her other flaws.
