If you're thinking about not voting for Clinton,


if she becomes the nominee, here's something I hope you'll consider:

Outcomes are important. They truly are. There is an outcome for every presidential election. Unlike our Congressional and Senate elections, every state is involved in the presidential election. Time has demonstrated that either a Democrat or a Republican wins the presidency. That's not going to change in 2016.

So, there will be an outcome of the election in November. In January of 2017, either a Democrat or a Republican will move into the White house and serve as the chief executive of the US. Personally, I prefer that a Democrat holds that office. In that case, the limited power of the President will be in Democratic Party hands. The President does do a few things things on his or her own, like appoint federal judges, and not just SCOTUS justices. The President also can send the military pretty much anywhere. He or she also holds the power of the veto, which can keep a Republican Congress from running rough-shod over the Constitution.

The President can also propose many things. If Congress will pass his proposals, those things can happen. All too often, they do not, especially when Congress is in Republican hands. There's not much a President can do about that. It's up to us to send him or her a Congress that will do progressive things.

So, you may not feel that you can vote for Hillary Clinton. But, I'd ask that you consider the outcome. There will be a Democrat or a Republican in the White House for four years. I know which I'd prefer. Please ask yourself which you'd prefer and help make that happen. It's not a matter of getting everything we want. We never will. It's a matter of outcomes for four years.

I think it's worth thinking about. Really. Voting for the Democratic nominee will produce a better outcome, whoever that nominee is.

What is it with the MN DUmbass and his preaching lately? Getting worse then nads.

Hillary Clinton, controlling the growth of the world's population( a big lib agenda item) 4 people at an embassy at a time.
I'd love to see a version of that on a bumper sticker.

You guys won't win. 0bama can't win what would essentially be a third term. The majority of the country hates everything he's done domestically and internationally. The weakness he's shown makes normal people furious. We're going to have to rebuild respect. We're a laughingstock who's become a paper tiger (hint: that led to 9/11). The majority don't like 0bamacare, illegal immigration, the constant scandal & blatant lies or anything else he's done to **** up this country. Polls show people think the government has become much more corrupt since 0bama's been president. I won't be surprised if we end up with a very conservative president. America tends to self correct and most of the country thinks we've gone way, way too far to the left. I hope to God you guys believe up until the very end that your side will win. It will make victory so much more sweet.
