The lesser evil of the 2.
In supporting Trump you are or any one supporting Clinton for that matter is playing in to the power structure.
I have stated I will not vote for either because neither deserves to have the job.
Now it is not a waste of my vote for me to vote for one of the other candidates. But each vote for one of the other candidates sends a small message that there at those that are fed up with main stream Politics.
It will not be a win in any sense for the voting Public Put if enough do vote for others the idea may sink in that they can not count on the Public rubber stamping their choices.
To many do not want to think to deep on issues. Doing so we short sight us into just more problems. We have been doing that for to long & now we are so divided we have very little hope left. If we are going make any inroads to truly get the country back that we want we can not settle for what would a victory for the Power structure.
No matter what Trump would say He will do He will only do what the Power Structure lets him get away with. As goes for Clinton. For too long too many have bought into the Idea that we have a 2 party system. Government has come under the control of outside forces who have bought the votes of those elected.
There will never be any changes to what we have by seeking some one chosen by the those in control of one or the other fake Party's.
Nor are we to put any real trust in what the media puts out.
Then It must not be you that is looking for Trump ... (

Floyd:
First, in your statement; In supporting Trump you are.......playing into the "power structure".
You seem to imply that, Trump is part of this "power structure". That is simply not so.
Trump was, and still is, the ONLY true political Outsider in this race.
Bush was the choice of the republican "power structure" (the RNC and their mega donors).
In spite of the short time he was in the race, Bush raised, and spent, more campaign money than any other republican candidate.
The republican "power structure" has done everything, within its considerable ability, to attempt to stop Trump, all to no avail.
Donald Trump is the republican candidate Only because he was the first choice of the republican VOTERS.
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, was THE choice of the democratic "power structure", and has been since 2009.
Sanders was the outsider on the democratic side, an independent, who ran on the democratic ticket, the popular candidate,
who was effective shut out by the democratic super delegates, the true "power structure" of the democratic party.
Next, you say that you want to send a "small message" that there are those that are fed up with mainstream politics;
and you hope to do this by casting a protest vote, a vote which, in reality, will be little noted,nor long remembered.
Bernie Sanders, and his supporters, sent a "Big Message" to the DNC, one which was heard, but effectively stifled.
The republican voters did not "Rubber Stamp" Trumps nomination, the republican primary voters CHOSE Donald Trump to represent them.
I will vote for Donald Trump first because I like his foreign policy, economic policy, defense policy, immigration policy and more.
But Also because electing Donald Trump, a total political outsider, a virtual David who did defeat the virtual Goliath of the RNC "power structure"; will send a "HUGE MESSAGE",to that "power structure" and not just a message that we are fed up with mainstream politics, but a WARNING that "TIMES HAVE CHANGED IN AMERICA, GET ON BOARD OR GET A DIFFERENT JOB!"
If Donald Trump is elected president, it will be the second time in history that American Patriots will have fired a,
"Shot Heard Round the World".
As for the idea that we have a two party system, the reality is, that for all practical purposes, we Do have a two party system.
The two party system is not the problem, the problem is the people who control the political parties, the mega wealthy donors who form the "power structure". A system where 90% of the time the candidate who raises the most money, the quickest, wins the election.
A system where the Koch brothers, George Soros, the big banksters, multi-national corporations,
and their like, completely control the leadership of the national parties, with their purse strings.
Trump will only do what the "power structure" lets him get away with you say?
The "power structure" will only be able to do what Trump Lets Them get away with, republicans and democrats
will have to work in a bipartisan manner, as intended, to over ride veto's, if they insist upon having Their Way.
Electing Donald Trump President in 2016 is Page One, of a New Map Forward for this Nation, in two years we will be submitting Page Two!
