I voted early yesterday. It was my day off, so I got up a little late, ate breakfast, and went down to the courthouse, where I spent about 45 minutes in line. I’d been telling myself that I would not vote for Trump. I have “known” him for many years. Many of my grad school classmates of twenty-some years ago discussed him and his book Art of the Deal. I’ve seen him schlepp for a casino in Indiana then skulk away when it was apparent Hoosiers weren’t ready for Trump style business. More lately, I’ve seen him run for president. I’ve never liked him and vowed that I wouldn’t vote for the man. From the get-go, I saw him as someone out for his self interests, and that others would become tools for fulfilling those interests if they supported him.

 

But then there’s Hillary Clinton. What can I say? Gullible at best, probably incompetent, certainly politically sociopathic. When I speak of Trump, I have to take a shower. But when I even think of Clinton as president, I want to vomit. So, when I walked into that voting booth, I broke down, compromised my principles, and voted Trump. Probably voted for Trump because of my principles. I couldn’t stomach the thought that I would have done nothing to try to get in the way of Clinton becoming having president.
