This is a no win discussion. Both of them have been campaigning about how awful the other candidate is. It does not make me warm and fuzzy. Today the stock market thought that Trump might win and it did not like it one bit. Okay let Hilary win.

What's the thing the stock market hates the most? Uncertainty and unpredictability. I can't think of too many words that would describe Trump better than that.

Well, I am married to a strong, smart, very moral and active LDS woman, I have 2 strong, smart, LDS daughters. They both have wonderful daughters. One of my daughters is married to an Army Captain - active duty.

My wife, 2 daughters, and active Army Captain son-in law are all voting for Trump and proud of it.

If Trump were to win - or does win - I would bet you $10,000 he will no nominate his sister.

For a man who is a serial liar, a man who sometimes changes his position 180 degrees on a daily basis, I find it humorous that people actually believe Trump will do what he says regarding the Supreme Court. And this in the face of what evidence there is, which is of a man who disparages the First Amendment's freedom of relgious provisions and the Fifth Amendment's protection against the seizure of private property, to name a few points that run contrary to what a conservative justice would see as important and of value. I have more faith in a Republican Senate than Trump protecting the Supreme Court.

BroncoBot and Ddawg, I want you to know that I admire your courage to go against so many on here. I back you in what you say. I had about decided not to come on the Lounge again as the animosity is so high. While morals is all but impossible to determine I would say you are as moral as everyone everyone else on here. Note that I did not say others were less moral. Some of you have said you have wonderful families. I too have a wonderful family. That is going to be of high value in the coming days. May we all work hard to establish Zion and welcome in our Savior.

Truly what it all boils down to, right?

I'm convinced the trouble that the USA is in economically, mentally, politically both home and abroad is because of the slipping of morals. There some powerful stuff in the BoM that seems to be unfolding before our very eyes. I'll continue to keep my grip on my religion, faith, testimony (and guns and food storage).

No matter what comes of all this garbage, a foundation built on the rock of Christ is going to keep you safer than anything else.
