Not Voting for Trump
Since you asked, I may as well reveal my political preference.
I'm voting for the second-worst candidate. I'm not happy about it. Her election will keep us at status quo, a deadlocked congress, corruption at the highest levels, weak economic growth.
At least we won't be going to war to settle Donald's grudges and debts. No intelligent person who actually listens to what he has said over the course of the campaign could want this person as Commander in Chief. I couldn't even vote for Trump for Permanent Latrine Orderly (PLO)

I like to think of myself as intelligent and on top of things ... and think your preference for Hellary is flawed. Most of our wars have started under Democrats and I am almost positive Clinton would repeat this trope. Giving this mega-corrupt woman the keys to the White House is like peeing on the Constitution. Sure, Trump poses risks but nothing like the absolute cess pool of dangers that she and her criminal gang would surely bring us.
I sincerely wish you were right. But your hatred of all things Clinton, Obama, et al, has blinded you to the obvious faults of a egocentric schoolyard bully who must never get the nuclear codes. You mistakenly believe that Trump believes the same things you do. In fact he believes in anything he thinks will get him to his goal as Emperor. Let's hope I never have to say, "I told you so!"
BTW, The Bush-Cheney wars in the middle east were not started by Dems. That inconvenient fact overrides your flawed judgement.
Let's see ... WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vitnam war, Kosovo War, Afghanastan Surge, Libyan War, ISIS War versus Iraqi an Taliban Wars.
No contest!
Yup, there you go again. You want a schoolyard shouting match to hide the fact that your candidate is really just a phony reality TV star, not a business success unless you count bankruptcies as good business.
Your list is technical sophistry at its worst. I blamed Bush-Cheney for the Afghan and Iraq wars and consequences. There was no Surge war or Libyan War or Iraqi an Taliban war. Those conflicts were attempts to clean-up the mess that Bush-Cheney left for US.
Here is some more sophistry ... you forget Afghanistan was the "good war" to Democrats and, as a consequence, we lost far more soldiers there in the"surge" than during the Bush era ... mainly because the rules of engagement had them sitting on their hands and they became sitting ducks. Obama sacrificed these military for his own political ends. This is about as cynical as can be imagined.
I wish someone had checked with me about Afghanistan. I was ok with the the destruction of al-Qaeda camps, but having learned the lessons of History, I would never have authorized the long-term occupation of Afghanistan. No foreign power has successfully occupied that country.
The Obama policy there was wrong, but to assert that he blithely sacrificed American lives for "his own political ends" (whatever that means) is absurd.
To show he had balls ... other than at the Chicago bathhouses, that is ...
Absurd!
