The choices this year are appalling for President, but this election is fascinating. The LA Times Tracking Poll which showed Clinton breaking away now has Clinton leading by one point. Go here to view it. You see the cycles in this race clearly enough from their chart of the race. I hypothesize that when one candidate starts to rise they reach a point where the public begins to be alarmed and then the other candidate goes back up. Lesser of two evils is a cliché, but it is very much the choice in this year of grace.

I can’t agree with a determination that Trump’s low level of “evil” is in a league with Hillary’s astounding volumes of “evil.” and incompetence Which is experienced or qualified? Name one positive (protecting Willie from a dozen or so rape indictments doesn’t count) “thing” Hillary accomplished in her 40+ years of prowling for money and power. As NYS Senator she promised western NY 200K new, high paying jobs. Western NYS jobs numbers dropped. After 9/11 she says she got $$$ for NY. Richard Nixon could have gotten $$$ for NY after 9/11. She actually did get a Federal building renamed after- who – Che Guervara (?). Look at all the tragedy and turmoil all over the world after her and Obama exercised their “genius.”

I’ve come to the conclusion that the Clinton gang is in it for the money as much as for the power and fornication.

In 1980, the smart kids running America similarly believed that Ronald Reagan could not be trusted with the US military and “nucular codes.” In fact, the smart kids truly believed, and acted out (self-fulfilling prophesy), that the USSR would win the Cold War, or, at best, we could hope for a draw. Without Reagan, likely they would have been proven correct. With Reagan’s leadership, the USSR landed in the dust bin of history and the smart kids were proven wrong. I (forlorn) hope we get a chance for the smart kids to be shown again wrong.
.
In conclusion (Alleluia!), Magic Obama and Hillary will have left the next president with multiple “ticking time bombs.” Crooked, feeble, incompetent Hillary won’t be able to deal with it. The media won’t be able to hide it.
And it’s the cycle I hope Trump is trying to play to his advantage by withholding advertising dollars till his very recent $20M purchase. He wants to play this to the last 4 to 6 weeks when the campaign goes full throttle. Risky but may work.
I understand that most Catholics who go to mass will be voting for Hillary. So it is not just the ones who identify as Catholic but don’t practice their faith.
Priests and bishops and the pope identify immigration as a major concern, and make pointed statements about bridges and against building a wall. Catholics who go to Mass are putting it all together and the outcome will be more Catholics feeling justified in voting for Hillary. Sanctifying the vote for “choice” “priority of my conscience” and “accompaniment”.
“I understand that most Catholics who go to mass will be voting for Hillary.”
No one could possibly know this at this point.
Re: One of Hillary’s evils
I am very amused that Hillary is claiming that the Clinton Foundation will not take money from foreign nations, etc., if she is elected president. She signed a document for Obama agreeing that her foundation would not take money from foreign countries in order to be appointed US Secretary of State. And now look at the tens of millions she took as Secretary of State despite the agreement. Why she thinks anyone would believe her latest promise, I could not hazard to guess.

There is every reason to think this is true. These “Catholics” certainly voted for Obama, twice.
