If it came down to Hillary or Trump, who would you vote for?

Anyone getting a government paycheck should not vote. They are often a third of the vote.

They also belong to Public Employees Unions. They have separate health care and retirement.

They vote for their own pay raises.

Our form of government was set up by people who rode horses, wrote with quills, and lit with candles.

The value I see with Trump is that I think he's got some good ideas for the economy and taxes, which to me seems to be the priority right now. While I agree much more with the moral and social views of democrats, I think that a lot of them are too focused on this.

The fact that he's such a successful businessman at the very least makes him qualified, I think, to fix the financial issues America is having. I like his idea to do a one-time tax on the top richest people in America, which (supposedly) will raise enough money to eliminate all of the debt. He also has said he wants to simplify the tax system; basically, if you're making less than 30,000 a year, you get taxed 1%, from 30,000 to 100,000 it's 5%, etc. up to 15%. If I was making 10 dollars an hour, I'd get 9.90 instead of the 8 dollars I'd get now (and I'm not even making that much to begin with). That also seems to fix the issue of whether or not we should raise minimum wage, which personally I think raising it would be ineffective in the long-run.

I agree more with Hillary on social and moral issues, but she seems unintelligent to me. I also think that she'll be a lot like Obama, in that she'll talk a whole lot about "change" and not bring about a whole lot of it.

And I don't understand the people saying they just wouldn't vote. At least vote for SOMEBODY. It doesn't have to be one of the main candidates, but at the very least you should vote for somebody.

Anyway, what I wanted to know was mostly just who people think would be better as president, Hillary or Trump, not necessarily who you would literally vote for. I guess I could have phrased the question a little better. Though it seems very 50/50 anyway, which I guess is to be expected faced with two choices that are pretty much equally bad.

Trump will get the turnout, as nothing but the screw the government, and both political parties, candidate.

His supporters are "Hell Yes!" supporters.

Besides, he has a sound economic platform.

From NAFTA on We The People have been losing our economy and having Wall Street ship it offshore.

We can tax that, and with transport, make Made In America profitable.

More of the same means more lost wars, and another ten trillion in debt.

Trump is the Ego Driven Showman America needs!

I agree with your point about how essential it is to use your vote ... whichever way you choose. i
would even say spoiling your ballot paper is a vote against `the above` at least you have had your say.

However I disagree with your other point...

Plus, I think Trump should know the price of oil is dependent on the stock market, not the oil producing countries. If anything, it's Trump's Wall Street friends who he ought to be threatening with the US military.

I can personally attest to the government screwing up the market. I grew up on a small apple farm in Upstate New York. First they came through and put so many regulations out that small farmers couldn't stay in the market, then they came through and said that the big growers could only harvest 40% of their crop. Now, there are no longer any apple producers in that area, though they can grow as many sh***y apples in Washington State as they want. You can't tell me that people don't want apples.
And, at least from the perspective of California, they are merely getting rid of the summer formulated gas, so they can sell the winter crap.
