Out of curiosity, which candidate do you support, and in your opinion do they pass the litmus test you've set out here?

  me? I don't get to vote in the US, so that's a bit of a moot question. I deliberately phrased my posting focused on one particular statement that I regard as particularly dangerous because by that line of reason you can justify support for anyone. Anyways, since the choice currently boils down to Trump vs. Clinton: I regard trump as a deeply dangerous candidate. He seems oblivious to a lot of issues and seems to be focused primarily on furthering his ascend to power, by whatever means necessary. While Clintons politics certainly have their own set of issues I'd prefer her as president since the person in the oval office should show a little interest in complicated matters. In that regard, she passes.

    From your post above, it didn't seem like you were taking a lesser of two evils approach - was just curious if you were supporting a third party candidate and if so who.

      Well, it's more a "Trump is absolutely not within the boundaries that make him electable" approach. It doesn't say much about preferences regarding all other candidates.
