I know that's what a couple of you actually want and I'm not exactly in favor of a Trump presidency, but I'm finding myself worried that she might win and what it'll mean for America. How do you 3rd party guys do it? Besides recognizing that the President doesn't have as much power and authority as we all seem to think, but I don't know if that will be enough for me come Election Day.
That's really what it amounts to for me. Recognition of checks and balances. Even on the whole issue of the SCOTUS, Senate still have to approve that. I said before in another thread where someone said they probably wouldn't vote that you really need to. Yes, our choices for POTUS are crap, but 33% of the Senate and 100% of the House seats are being voted on as well, and that is how we stop the crazy.
