Presidential election: Third party candidates are the only reasonable choice

Trump is 100% correct that Hillary Clinton should be in prison; if she was anybody but the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, she would be.

When Mitt Romney declared Russia our biggest geopolitical foe, President Obama quipped, “The 80s called and wants its foreign policy back.”

Now Clinton is lamenting that Russia is influencing our presidential election. The real irony is we can find out more from Wikileaks than we can from the “most transparent administration in history.” Maybe using BleachBit and hammers to destroy her official communications wasn’t such a great idea.

Clinton was against gay marriage, then for it. She doesn’t want guns killing children, but killing children in the womb is OK. Hillary called the Trans Pacific Partnership the “gold standard” trade deal, now she opposes it. She proudly states she’s for women’s rights, but her husband flew on the Lolita Express 26 times.

Clinton can remember and repeat every sordid Donald Trump detail, but claimed she “couldn’t recall” more than three dozen times in one three hour FBI interview. Is lying, shifting morals, and enabling predatory behavior what we want to teach our children?

The only reasonable candidates for president are Evan McMullin, Gary Johnson, and Jill Stein.
