    Ryan is being smart. He knows Trump is going down like the Titanic and he doesn't want that stench on him four years from now.

                    I look to PAC, napper and Paul Ryan for political guidance. I know how PAC feels and waiting on napper and Ryan. I might weight PAC's views a little less than I did before he made an awful choice in 2008. I didn't know it was an awful choice back then, but I expect more out of PAC than I do myself.

                        I don't like Donald Trump. I don't like real estate developers in general, and based upon my experience over the years almost ubiquitously specifically as well.

                        I think Donald Trump is fake, vain and reflects much about the world I disdain. His current political support worries me moreso about America than Donald Trump.

                        I think there are attributes to him being a President that might not be as bad as others might think. I do believe he will cut deals and attempt to get some things done that need done and while I think he is an immoral creep, it is likely that he will not be as beholden to ideology or pet interest groups as the past Presidents.

                        I also think his popularity is more widespread than many want to believe and I think he might win. I struggle fathoming it and as much as it worries me, I think it will be the reality.

                        I don't know if I can vote for him but I know I won't vote for Hillary.

                            I would love to have a reason to vote for Donald instead of voting against someone. If the polls show the republicans will hold onto the house, I could see myself not voting or voting third party so I don't soil myself by voting for Trump. However, if it looks like the Senate and House could go democrat, as of now I would soil myself and vote for Donald.

                            If the democrats take total charge, I don't want to have to tell my kids and grandkids I sat on the sidelines and didn't even vote against what will happen.

                                    No, but she came attached to John McCain. Besides, at the time she was kind of cute.
