Everyone gets to vote for the candidate of their choice if that person got his or her name on the ballot. You can even write a name in if that suits you.

I believe that Gary Johnson is still the best candidate on the ballot but as I found out in the past, voted for him twice now, he is not electable because of the system. That's unfortunate!

Ultimately within the system that is our current (two party) government we have to vote not for the person or party we like the best but who is best for the country.

Not just choosing between the lesser of two evils but choosing between who will accomplish the least amount of damage to our Republic over the next four years or longer. Who's policies domestic and foreign will cause irreparable harm?

I'm voting for the country and feel confident that of the choices I have Trump/Pence is that person. The alternative, Hillary Clinton will stack the SCOTUS and the Federal Government from DOJ to IRS to every cabinet level office with the same type of people that are hell bent on destroying everything this country once stood for.

I could not and may not continue to call America my home. I have six years to retire again and if the next four years are anything like the last eight years I may be moving overseas before I reach that milestone. I'd rather be an expatriate than a patriot of a country I don't recognize any more.

ETA: Our Constitution and government has many ways to insure the checks and balances necessary to accept or reject rogue leaders unless the deck gets stacked. The deck has been stacked and the status quo needs to be reset. Hillary is the status quo candidate - nothing will change.

"If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor!" Yeah, riiiiight! (You lie!)
