"Edit: Upon reflection, Clinton does, often, make statements with grounding in reality. Trump's stream of consciousness (so to speak) is something entirely different."
You think?? :-)

My vote might go to Gary Johnson. It's interesting that the dissatisfaction with the major party candidates is so high that his polling numbers might be good enough to get him into the debates.
There are voters who truly support one or the other candidates, but a lot of voters are making their choice based on "never Trump" or "never Hillary". Sad state of affairs really. The election could actually hinge on their negatives rather than anything actually attractive about them.
I suspect this will be a low turnout election as many voters will just walk away in disgust. But then it's a long road to the voting.

Et tu? Why not just say you're not going to bother to vote? A protest vote? For what? 8 years of Hillary and then we bank on the as#@&%es in the RNC again??? They'll get it right this time?
I'm done waiting. I'll take what Trump is selling. And his family.
And if you vote for Hillary, you gotta live with that. I'm willing to stake my cred on Trump (FWIW). I'm on record.
EDIT: Neither candidate, but particularly Trump, speaks with any particular grounding in, or relation to, any objective truth.
Like what? Immigration? Lying? What are you talking about as an 'objective truth'? Explain.

Bluring,
There's only one candidate in this election that even gives lip service to the thought of a balanced fiscal policy, reduced government, limited foreign entanglements and expanded individual liberty.

I'd like to ask moderates/conservatives how they feel Trump would be more dangerous than Hillary? Is it all just speculation about what he may do?
Hillary brings with with her a dangerous group of people. They do not have America's best interests in mind. Or yours.
I shudder at the notion of her as prez....
