15. I do largely agree with her on the issues.

There are some points that are hard to swallow, though. I think they've been hashed and rehashed here ad nausem, such as the Iraq war vote, trade agreements, etc. Some other things too that I personally am a bit worried about are her strong stances against encryption, which I worry about personally.

You're absolutely right on the record though, it's absolutely no contest between Hillary and Trump on record. It's not even no contest, it's a different world, a different universe. Long story short, I'm going to vote for Hillary.

Some of my issues against her are personal, although they add up enough for me to trust her judgement. She rarely apologizes, and when she does, she does so grudgingly. This is despite a number of outright mistakes. I also do believe that she was very unfair in the primary, and I strongly object to tactics she uses such as paid internet commentary. I do find it hard to trust her, she has lied in the past (sniper fire, for instance.) The list here goes on and I don't want to go into just a pure bashing rant, but there are some serious issues here where I simply find her character to be flawed.
