I Will Vote for Hillary Clinton Because I Cannot Possibly Vote for Donald Trump.



In Election 2016, I have a choice between Trump and Clinton, and Trump is too dangerous for me. I am no fan of Hillary Clinton; I am tired of political dynasties like the Bushes and Clintons. If I had had the opportunity, I would have voted for Bernie Sanders for president.
But that is not reality today. Clinton or Trump.
There is no way that I will miss casting my vote, and there is no way that I will vote for Donald J. Trump.
My chief research and writing focus is on K12 public education. Unfortunately, no candidate (Sanders included) realizes the damage that so-called “school choice” presents to America’s public school system. Maybe Clinton will come around; maybe not.

Mr. Trump later tried to modify his remarks about hacking Mrs. Clinton’s emails, contending they represented an effort to get the Russians to turn over their trove to the F.B.I.
“Asinine” does not capture the utter foolishness of Trump’s words– words that illustrate well the lack or forethought and restraint that Donald J. Trump would surely I Will Vote for Hillary Clinton Because I Cannot Possibly Vote for Donald Trump. | deutsch29:
