Over the weekend I was in a discussion regarding the election.
While I wasn't thrilled with Trump as a whole, in my book it was no contest when I entered the voting booth (figuratively speaking, of course).
We were discussing how it really was not a hard decision in the end for me to cast my vote...
And in reflection, it never has been, at least for me.
But... Shouldn't the decision be close?
Shouldn't it be the best of the best of both sides?
I mean, let's look at the choices I have faced when I went to vote:
1980 Reagan / Carter - Easy decision - Carter was a horrible failure as President. FTMF
1984 Reagan / Mondale - No problem - No reason to think about changing the administration.
1988 Bush / Dukakis - Easy - Dukakis couldn't compete with GHWB's election machine.
1992 Clinton / Bush - Never even thought about voting for Clinton.
1996 Clinton / Dole - Dole was not my first choice, but he didn't make my skin crawl like it did when I heard Clinton (either one) speak.
2000 Bush / Gore - Easy choice, after listening to the man-bear-pig speak.
2004 Bush / Kerry - No problem pulling the lever for Bush.
2008 McCain / Obama - I saw through the smoke and mirrors early. No thought of voting Obama.
2012 Romney / Obama - Even more resolute about the choices.
2016 Trump / Clinton - Not even a tiny thought of giving her a chance to carry out her grand plan of fucking up the country even more than Obama already has.
Seriously- shouldn't we expect better candidates? Shouldn't it be difficult to choose because both should have great potential to do good for the WHOLE country, not just special interests?
