Time for a change
In thinking over the choice for endorsement, it becomes clear that this is not the best choice Americans have had to make for president. If we want to be nit-picky, we can select many reasons why not to select either one to endorse.
Think of the two candidates speaking out on issues. Trump just speaks, without much prior thinking. On the other hand Clinton thinks everything over carefully, like a professional politician would, to be very careful what she says.
I read that she has a committee whose sole job is to find things which in the debates she can trick Trump into biting on something he will just try to defend.
Trump is not too well trained in politics. Clinton, on the other hand, has over 40 years of politics behind her. Maybe because of that we have reason to think its time to make a change. Sometimes people are "in charge" just too long.
There are so many things we can pick on for both candidates. Trump has insulted a number of people. He doesn't always use the right words, He just says what he thinks. On the other hand Clinton has a real reputation for being quite loose with the truth. (A liar, we would normally call that.)
She said she and her husband came out of his presidency "broke," and had to borrow money for a house, but now they suddenly are multimillionaires. I don't have too many friends or acquaintances who have gone from poverty to millionaires in the matter of a few years. The newspapers never seem to question that.
Maybe I'm just unaware of how the rest of the world works. We have never really gotten a truthful answer about Benghazi. We have never gotten the full story about the email situation. We have never learned all about the emails which have been erased, or have just "disappeared." We have never gotten a full answer to why Clinton could lawfully use a "personal" server in the first place. We have never gotten a truthful answer to the questions asked by Congress, and which FBI's Comey said were not truthful, and why nothing was said or done about that.
Looking at many of the little things, maybe it is time for our nation to make a change ... from a career politician to an American outsider.
