92. Hillary is just as bad as Trump.

Just for different reasons. That's why we can't vote for either.

Look at the polling: both are equally disliked. Therefore, I and others here aren't the only people who think that.

So, YOUR reasons aren't ours. Sensible people can and do disagree. Stop using loaded words.

I'm very sensible. I'm voting against allowing the Democratic Party to continue as Plutocrat Jr.
