What's with the binary thinking?
Hillary or the GOP wins? wtf?

How about we pick someone who will
defend and speak for the general Public?

If a candidate can rally a majority of voter
under a vision that improves the lives of all
Americans, that's fine by me.
Of course, a republican could never do that.
