???? Is No one going to mention the nose dive clinton took at ground zero?

I'd be interested in hearing your reasons for strongly rejecting Clinton, assuming it isn't simply a strong yearning for moving beyond a two party system.  What I mean is, what is it about Hillary that you don't like other than her being grade A establishment?

The question wasn't directed at me, but as a third-party voter myself, I'll give it a go.

I don't trust her. I know all politicians play fast and loose with the truth, but she seems to engage in it to an extent that approaches gaslighting -- the sniper-fire whopper springs to mind immediately as being an attempt to recalibrate reality in the minds of others. Another aspect of my mistrust for her is her tolerance of Bill's philandering. Surely she was strong enough to stand up for herself, her dignity, when she learnt of his dalliances, yet she stayed with him anyway. Why? Why would anyone tolerate such disrespect in their own marriage?

And yes, a sincere desire to see the downfall of the two-party system informs my choice to vote third-party as well. The system is obviously broken. The two parties distract us by finger-pointing at the other, while the same old song-and-dance unfolds. You know the Internet definition of insanity; we Americans are practicing it in our politics.

You might say that, but apart from anything else, she is a human being and as such, perhaps she had a duty to stand by her husband at not just at that time, but also afterwards. Either that, or she had some long-term plan to be President-elect so, it would have been in her best interests to stay with Bill. I'll have to go with human instinct and marriage is forever lark.
