We'll have to wait a few years at least to see whether Ms. Clinton (or rather, the interests backing her) lead the US into another large-scale war in the Middle East (likely with Iran). I say "Yes". Dark, Don, Dem and dem say "No".

If they voted for the person they thought was better suited... their vote DID matter. Your vote doesn't matter if you waste it by voting for the wrong (undeserving of it) person... whether the guy/gal you voted for loses OR wins. Think of it this way... if losing votes don't matter, then EVERYONE that voted for a "loser" wasted their vote... even the ones that voted for a losing Democrat or a losing Republican. I cannot believe that. I will not believe that. You may feel different, but I'd rather vote for my second choice than someone that doesn't have a chance of winning. I live in a swing state, so my vote could the difference between my second choice and the guy and the guy I dread being elected. I'll take second choice over worst fear any day. Then, and I hate to say it, you are part of the problem. You are among the MILLIONS of voters that every year throw their votes away.

I waste energy, take 30 minute showers, vote for one of two parties, cruise in the passing lane, eat unhealthy, have too many kids, and don't save for retirement. Just so many ways to screw up things for people who care more than I do.

For me too on the last, just don't have the money right now. Soon. Although now that I think about it, the lack of money is due to previous choices I've made. Primarily those related to the too many kids situation.

There will be no war with Iran. There will be if we inaugurate a President Rubio. He has as much as said so. The possibility of war with Iran is very real. It is tempered by several counter forces:
1. Iran doesn't want it. 2. Most Americans don't want it. 3. It makes no sense.
That much is positive. However there are also powerful and nefarious forces working for war. Evil in fact.
#1, I'll grant you that one. #2, So? Like a politician actually cares about what the citizens want, once they've already been elected. #3, Since when did anything politicians do "make sense"?
