Do you think diehard Clinton and Trump supporters are completely blind to corruption, greed, and scandal?

It seems to me diehard frontrunner supporters put on massive blinders to their respective favorites glaring flaws. Neither candidate is fit for the role of President. Both are a brilliant display of the flaws in the system. Are we all just too accepting of the status quo?

Typical. MSgt Jack DeYoung finally apologized. Even though he said he never would apologize until Col David Lowry apologized first. MSGT Jack DeYoung said, " I do apologize for my part in this....I just don't like bullies and if he did it to me what's to say that he wouldn't do it to someone else. That's just the old dirty crew dog in me.....I have always been that way. Once again I apologize to those that became offended by my role in this post."
What a crock. Obviously, it was not a sincere or heartfelt apology. He just did it to cover his behind. He apologized only to to the readers of Rally Point. He never directly apologized to Col Lowry. So, his apology was a huge nothing burger, because he is a coward. When will folks like this ever learn? Threatening fellow service members on Rally Point is never a good idea. I guess MSgt Jack DeYoung learned his lesson the hard way. It's also worthy to note that Col Lowry did not apologize. IMHO, he had nothing to apologize for. He simply stated his opinion and backed it up with facts. If MSgt Jack De Young was offended by that opinion (and he was) then MSgt Jack DeYoung would have been better off retreating to a safe space with his security blanket and thumb fully inserted in the appropriate orifice.

the funny thing, all the complaints about Clinton are, for the most part, while she was on the govt. payroll, so it really is significant, Trump is/was a private citizen.
while on might act or say things counter to your beliefs, the other compromised national security and plaid par-for-play politics .
i look at it like this, a civilian burns the US flag, i don't like but likely 1st amendment right , now lets say an active duty 1st sergeant burns the US flag, -----well off with his head

ask a die-hard Cleveland Browns fan if their team sucks it would be the same answer to the Clinton and Trump supporters.

Choice Between a liar, thief and cheat and a sexist pig makes for a difficult decision. I can't believe that these are the best canidates that the parties could nominate.

I don't doubt it. I've witnessed it too many times in both the real world and the internet (alas, RallyPoint is no exception).
The worst cases tend to be when someone tries to redirect the conversation by saying, "Oh, X did this, but Y did THIS!" There's a tendency to rationalize a candidate's problems by looking at the problems experienced by the other camp.

Rule #8: don't argue with ignorant, obstinate, or crazy.
All it does is raise your blood pressure while they ignore you're arguments and call you names.

I'm just glad I don't have to vote for bad or worse. My vote was going to be neither, but I'm glad I can now vote for someone and not against someone.

Actually there's a number of things that lead to moral, ethical, corruption, etc. blindness that those who are in the tank often exhibit. The denialists brush off the issues. My mom is in the tank for Hillary. If you ask her about email whatever, Benghazi whatever, foundation whatever, she'll just say it's a conspiracy against her and Trump is a kook. Huckabee is a country bumpkin, the list goes on, and that's that. Pretty much similar reaction on the other side of the coin. Then there are the elitist power brokers. Now Hillary has an advantage because the current power brokers want to continue to be power brokers, so they'll look the other way. A lot of people will ignore most everything so long as their gravy train runs on schedule. Then there are the haters. I just hate The Donald. Doesn't matter what Hillary does and you're probably lying anyways. I just hate Hillary. I don't care what the Donald is, he's not Hillary. There are good doses of bleeding hearts on both sides with the usual eco PC touchy feely liberal types that ply the countryside. There are also the thumpers out there in right field, probably detesting both, but biting the bullet for Trump because bakers should be able to deny gay wedding cakes.
What all these have in common is a narrowly defined polarization towards a reality which isn't the overall reality. They just want the rest of it to go away and the people along with it. What I dislike about Pols so much is that in office, they must serve all their constituents and be a reflection of the diversity, not the polarization. That said, it's likely to get worse before it gets better. Just reporting what's out there. I guess I'm in the frustrated majority. We MILs have a concept of "service" that the Pols don't seem to get.
