Here is what "The Atlantic says about Trump and Clinton in making only its third presidential endorsement since 1860.
"Hillary Rodham Clinton has more than earned, through her service to the country as first lady, as a senator from New York, and as secretary of state, the right to be taken seriously as a White House contender. She has flaws (some legitimately troubling, some exaggerated by her opponents), but she is among the most prepared candidates ever to seek the presidency. We are confident that she understands the role of the United States in the world; we have no doubt that she will apply herself assiduously to the problems confronting this country; and she has demonstrated an aptitude for analysis and hard work.
Donald Trump, on the other hand, has no record of public service and no qualifications for public office. His affect is that of an infomercial huckster; he traffics in conspiracy theories and racist invective; he is appallingly sexist; he is erratic, secretive, and xenophobic; he expresses admiration for authoritarian rulers, and evinces authoritarian tendencies himself. He is easily goaded, a poor quality for someone seeking control of America’s nuclear arsenal. He is an enemy of fact-based discourse; he is ignorant of, and indifferent to, the Constitution; he appears not to read."
I agree.

Public leadership is hard, thankless and exposing. To have done it with dignity and poise in the face of a constant onslaught of your failures and shortfalls is admirable on so many levels.

As you can see for yourself I shoot 155's and the old 175's mechanized Guns, and there pretty big ones too. The point I'm trying to convey is that to each his or her own. We all have to make choices that we may not like, but once the decision is made we stand by our decision. No matter what. The Art of War, Sun Zu.

CWO3 (Join to see) - Once a decision is made, it is not set in stone. We are thinking creatures, and our opinions can evolve and our decisions can change.
I was homophobic until I went to law school. I believed in God until I learned about the holocaust. I was against immigration reform until I learned how dysfunctional our system is.
Some opinions change with age and maturity. I used to hate asparagus, now it is my favorite vegetable. Some opinions change with education or experience. Some change with more information.
So no, we do not stand by our decision, no matter what. I decided in 1980 that I'd like to be a Republican, and on my 18th birthday registered as one. I abandoned and changed that decision in 1992.

MAJ Andrew Fishkin,
Sir, I hope you know that I am not saying that I agree with that idiot, I don't. You President Obama was born and raised in the same Islands as I but as someone born before Hawaii became a State. I don't like any politicians period. You know at one time in my life I had the honor of meeting with Senators and Congressman. But those days are gone. One is still in jail the other is gone. One had been awarded the Navy Cross, the other the Medal of Honor. I will respect others who will respect the same way towards humanity. We have a complete failure to communicate to our society and to our politicians. The best we can hope for is when something happens for the betterment of our Nation and our planet.
I still have the warrior instinct and always will.
Semper Fidelis,
Gunner Kaupe

Yup. She will find some way to buy, cheat, and steal the election. I'm sure the people from the 1800's will vote for her.

SSG (Join to see) - Oh, and like everyone form the socialist left to the "progressives" to the "moderates" to the propagandist media establishment and I presume you as well, were the epitome of civility and positiveness to president Bush '43? Don't believe it? Check out a few YouTubes of Keith Olhberman addressing vehement rants aimed directly at Bush '43 right there on national television.
Just so you know, there will be no fair and square win for HRC. It's a well demonstrated fact the democrat machine has been cheating on elections ever since Kennedy v Nixon in 1960 by rolling out the vote from every grave yard in every liberal haven in America. So if Trump wins, it will be because the DNC underestimated how many dead guys and cartoon characters they needed to overcome the basket of deplorable.
