By the way, I'm not the only person to briefly advocate for a particular candidate.
You're not the only one, but you are the only one to give a reasoning. Not to mention the harshest one on the thread. I can't say that you don't raise some good points, particularly in the last paragraph and the half-paragraph just before it, but the rest seems to be calculated to stir heated debate, or worse, a flame war.

Your last 1.5-3 paragraphs are fine; it's the one or two before that that will offend people. Or rather, offend some and be applauded by others. To be frank, the third paragraph sounds like you're slinging some mud, intentionally or not.

I say, Consider very carefully the candidates, their positions, and what they say/do. Maybe the parties, though the party can easily rebel against their candidate after he is in office. Then make your own informed choice.
