I totally agree there is no one running worthy to be our President. I don't want a loud-mouthed egomaniac. I don't want a liar or a crook. I don't want a green-behind-the-ears Senator who's too busy running for President to do his job. I don't want someone so firmly entrenched in their beliefs that those beliefs will come before the rights of women. I. Want. None. Of. Them!
Any chance we can start over and get some real, decent candidates? I thought not but I can dream, right?
So, like you Republicans today, I'll grit my teeth the next four to eight years, pray mightily that the harm done by whomever is in office won't be too great and pray even harder that our next choices will be someone who deserves the position of POTUS. (The big difference is I won't denigrate whomever is elected but I might whine a lot to myself.)

Thank you, Red, for the thoughtful post. It really caught my attention because earlier today I was thinking abut this very subject brought up by the OP, and I thought surely there are intelligent folks on the opposite side of the aisle who feel the same way I do about the candidates in general. I know this to be true because my liberal, feminist aunt who would love to see a woman President will also not vote for Hillary and is disgusted by the process and what is going on. And then i read your post. As discouraged as I feel that what we have to choose from is less than desirable, I'm encouraged by the fact that there are some (maybe many) from both parties who could actually be in agreement with one another where politics is concerned regarding lack of quality candidates on both sides. Now if there was only something we could do other than chose from the lesser of 2 evils. Really getting tired of that scenario.
