Default Re: Politics and the Church

My take is that one of the two majors will win (Hillary or Donald). But being from Texas where it is all but presumed that The Donald will win, to make a protest vote means voting for anyone else stands as a protest. I want the Republican Party to hear the displeasure that there is not more substantial oversight of who can run as president. I hope that Donald's margin is so slim that they take note. I am even willing to put up with whatever comes if too many protest. Even throwing the election to Congress.

And there are reasons that neither Hillary nor Donald are fit to be president. I hear of some small-time politician from either Utah or Nevada that could actually take Utah, and has been put on the ballot in many states plus is available as a pre-defined write-in in several more. I just might put my vote there. I have also heard that there were some open remarks by some to write-in Pence rather than vote for Donald.

We've had too many good reasons to disrespect our presidents for a significant part of the past 25 years. I can hope that the next 4 to 8 years will not be more of the same.

But as that great philosopher, Mick Jagger, once sang, "You can't always get what you want."

I just hope that we try hard enough that we actually get what we need.
