Who will you vote for . . . . ? Enough of this nonsense

There are so many of this type of dishonest question every day. They have no relevance. Total waste of time.

Right now is the PRIMARY, when our focus should be to decide who is the best candidate. Based on electability and how well they fit on the ISSUES.

When that is DONE, the focus will change to the GE.

But until that time, these questions purposefully muddy the waters, asking people to lose their focus on the job at hand.

If you do the job right in front of you to the best of your ability, the future will take care of itself. But if you never focus on what you should be doing, everything always ends up a mess.

Then let them vote for Mickey Mouse.
Some of us feel that the beloved Cartoon Character is not only more electable, but easier to swallow than Mecretary Flinton
We owe our vote and voice to no one.

They thought they were all that too ... and in the end, they were just as inconsequential then as you people will be now.

Hillary and then others chiming in and saying, "Fine. Bye."

It seems as if each Hillary hater feels that everyone needs to know that they won't vote for Hillary. It is very silly. They seem like the type of people who overestimate their own importance.
