Discussion hasn't reached the level it has with you and Hoot, but I'll tell you why I'm doing what I am. Every time I have questioned you on something on here, you have responded with some kind of insult. If you think I'm just going to sit back and let that happen, you're wrong. You've been so emotionally attached to Donald Trump now that you take any criticism of him personal and you dismiss any argument against him as trash can fodder. If someone wants to vote for Donald Trump to keep Hillary out, I don't fault them at all. But myself, I don't have confidence in either candidate based on their positions and their morals at this point, especially Clinton. If me voting for Darrell Castle means I'll be one of only 5,000 or so votes, then so be it. I may not be popular in your eyes, but I don't vote seeking your approval or the approval of anyone else.

Other BGR users have picked up on my points, and I know you're easily smart enough to be able to do so. Your comments about a runaway ego, being disconnected and all that, keep trying to dismiss my points as trash can fodder to avoid having to defend yourself. Wonder what your response will be since there's no smiley face this time.

You got a pedigree in psychological evaluation there Wide, or are you just recognizing the sign posts of ground you've already covered? You've not added anything meaningful to any political or moral discussion, it has been an attempt on your part to make it personal. I don't feel the need to defend points that I have already spoken to and developed on so many occasions.

The fact that McCain, Paul and Romney have injected themselves into this election cycle is unprecedented in American politics during my lifetime. That's new for them and I have thence stopped defending their actions. In no way does that change the topic at hand, which is that one of two people will be moving shortly into the Oval Office. I cite credible personalities who agree with me as does any person I've ever seen whether the medium has been a speech or the written word.

The only way I will change my mind on any of this would be if and when a President Trump is judged on his actions, not the wild eyed speculation and conjecture of his political opponents. Nobody knows what he will do until he does it.
