I know it's your choice and everything but can I ask why you don't just look at their policies.. compared to who wins a debate?

I have, and I am 50/50 split on those :). I sidewith.com had me at 1% point between bernie, hillary and trump. I 1 - am rabidly pro-choice 2 - think the second amendment is pretty good as is, maybe with a few additional checks. 3 - default pro-cop but think we have too many laws 4 - like the wall but not a fan of massive deportations 5 - would not like to have the migrant influx that europe has, even if the crisis is partly our fault 6 - anti-PC 7 - pro pot-legalization (that's actually more repub this go-round) 8 - believe in climate change 9 - pro-israel 10 - want liberal supreme court justices 11 - think we are taking a very naive approach to the risk of terrorism in order to avoid offending many groups 12 - massively turned on by this https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trumps-five-point-plan-for-ethics-reform https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trumps... 13 - have to admit if you put them in a box and made them play jeopardy with only geographic/polysci questions, he would get killed. 14 - want less of the typical pro-jesus anti-gay slant the old guard GOP has had (admittedly that's not him but is the Silver Fox at his side)

  Establishment Democrats like Clinton agree with: 1, 2, 3, half of 4, 7, 8, 10, 13 Disagree with: other half of 4, probably 11 Republicans agree with: half of 2, 3, half of 4 Republicans disagree with: 1, other half of 2, 3, other half of 4, 7, 8, 10, 14 Toss-ups, non-issues, and uselessly vague include 5, 6, 9, 11, and 12. I dunno, it seems pretty clear-cut to me.

    I completely don't agree with your "question redistricting". I'm voting for a person not a party. For example, 3 is solidly not Hillary. Speakers she had at the DNC, tweets after Dallas shooting, on and on. Trump is 100% pro-lgbt and has never been a christian, so 14 isn't him. Trump also is for legalizing medicinal and letting states determine recreational, so 7 is him, not her (have a strong sense from things she's written that she won't legalize). And the ones you earmarked as toss-ups etc are more him. They also are VERY important to ME, so not the non-issues you paint them as. There's a few others like this. But I have to go.

  I was unaware of point 12. Trump is the only major party candidate in my lifetime who might actually do something as awesome as #12. I am still leaning towards a third-party candidate, but that does complicate my dislike for Trump. Thank you for sharing that.
