It pains me a bit to say this, but with one minor exception I've voted for the lesser of evils candidate since 1976. It's my personal opinion that the country would be better off if this mindset was widely adopted instead of fault finding. Not voting - or voting for 3rd Party candidates - is a poor exercise of judgement.
The path of least resistance will seldom get you where you need to be.
I'm another one who will pull the R lever but who otherwise doesn't get involved in politics except to stay away from the extremists on both sides. I don't even know how a person like myself would even successfully run for office. People have lost the appreciation for the art of compromise. The fact is that reasonable people's opinions on how to run this country differ. And yet we must move forward in a united fashion. Where are the statesmen?
All else aside, the Portland riots are enough for me to cast my vote for Trump. This lawlessness cannot be allowed to succeed.

@blues, I agree with your assessment of the SOTU. What I don’t have is an answer. I fully expect that we shall see the answer early November.

I haven't voted FOR anyone since 1980. Always the lesser of two evils. I do not like Trump as a person but have been in favor of many of his policies.
I think a Democratic victory (my brother is expecting a blue tsunami) would be an absolute disaster for the country that we would be unable to recover from.
God, I hate politics and politicians. Unfortunately, it seems everything has a political stench about it anymore.
