Let me remind all voters who do not like any of the major candidates for president.

Our Founding Fathers, who believed in Gods protecting us, made up our government with checks and balances. It works like this.

Vote for Clinton, a Democrat, then vote for Republican senators. They have to ratify her Supreme Court selections. If the selection of the judge is too liberal, they should not ratify her selection.

Do not let politicians lie about the future. In four years we maybe can have decent presidential candidates. I am an independent voter.

A vote for a third party is an alternative: Gary Johnson.
