    We have two extraordinarily flawed candidates.

    In Trump, we have a seriously flawed individual who has staked a few appropriate policy positions.

    In Hillary, we have a flawed individual, who is less personally flawed and more polished than Trump (who isn't?), but she has staked no appropriate policy positions. As one person trying to endorse her stated, "she is wrong on everything."

    Given that you wish to have policy positions which will be enforced by somebody other than the President, it is time to vote for Gary Johnson, who can't name a foreign leader.

      Gary Johnson is much more appealing to me than Clinton. Obama has pretty much shown that you can have very little real world experience and still not totally mess up the country. I'm sure Johnson would do just fine and he'd probably appoint a half-decent secretary of state, unlike Obama's first appointment to that position.

      If our republic dies, it'll be because of corruption. Corruption undermines everything that has to do with a government run by "We the People" and Clinton is the embodiment of corruption. She is the pay-to-play candidate if there ever was one. I'll take Johnson's lack of foreign policy experience over her corruption any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

          Wow. What a sleazy article.

            I hate to ask (because, topper) but what are trumps appropriate policy positions?

              Right, Johnson has actually been a successful executive before running for president.

              Watching the VP debate, I didn't know that Kaine is so whiny. It's almost like Kaine is like Trump and Pence is like Clinton.

              FTR, Kaine is an idiot on tax law...or he's playing to the public's ignorance on tax law (it's probably the latter). Does anyone in this board think that net operating losses shouldn't be allowed to be carried forward?

              • It is fun to see Pence hold his breath while he talks about Trump. Dude clearly isn't comfortable defending him but he's holding the party line.

                  Lower taxes, better judicial appointments, lesser regulation of businesses. I didn't say he had a lot of good policy positions. Hillary has none. Three is better than zero.

                  Johnson has a few more, but his policy flawed but apparently not personally as flawed as those two crazies.

                      I agree I would trust Gary Johnson to not screw it up too badly.

                      Hillary will continue the trend toward statism, eliminating small businesses and creating barriers to entry to promote large business. She will increase taxes, the burdens upon the state and our national debt.

                      Trump will only do okay if he appoints good advisors.

                        Clinton most certainly will kill small businesses if she is against NOL carry forwards.

                          • Wow, Pence is wiping the floor with Kaine. This is ugly. Kaine's only rebuttal is to complain about trumps taxes or trumps praising of putin.

                            • Did Kaine watch tapes of Rubio to prepare for this debate? He's said, word for word, the same things 4-5 times.

                                Who cares. George Will is correct. Elections don't turn based on a VP candidate.

                                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
