I think the "Lead pipe cinch" referance here is appropriate for those of us
contaminated by lead pipes and moribund governence and callous disregard
from political hack of all stripes.
I know, you keven was using a common allusion but given where I live I found
it interesting.
Not knocking you in the least by the way. Not at all. I hope that is
understood.

It seems to me that an argument could also be made that voting for Hillary does nothing but perpetuate the current system. Things probably wouldn't get much worse for people, but it's a lead pipe cinch they wouldn't get any better either. In any case, come eight years from now, or maybe even four, we'd be having the exact same arguments all over again. Nobody is more freaked out about a Trump presidency than I am, but if I voted for Hillary at this point it would be a vote cast completely out of fear, and I just can't bring myself to do that. I think there are a few things to keep in mind here. First of all, the Republican establishment doesn't want Trump any more than any of us does, and from now until election day they'll throw everything up to and including the kitchen sink at him to try and stop him from getting elected. It also has not escaped my notice that some of the GOP movers and shakers have come out and said they could live with a Hillary presidency. That tells me all I need to know. As a caveat tto all this, I should point out that the Hoosier State where I live is almost certainly going red come what may, so I can vote my conscience with a fairly clear, um, conscience.
