Who to vote for?

Well, I have the power of the vote, but to little avail. The motto of the three presidential campaigns now border on the absurd. Never Hillary, never Trump, never Sanders! What is left?

No one is speaking for me. I don’t hate immigrants, I’m one. But we need border control. I believe that the money behind the election process is obscene, why have a few with millions decide what should be presented and upheld?

I agree we need relief on student loans, healthcare and livable wages, but I was raised with the notion that you need to work hard with commitment to get the things that you wish for. I”m concerned about the young generation and followers of Sanders that believe everything is going to free, really? How?

I”m concerned with the hatred perceived while watching Trump followers, can't they see that this man’s agenda would not be theirs? We are walking ourselves into a quagmire. The consequences are going to be too costly.
