The Denver Post: HRC "an easy choice"

Democrat Hillary Clinton, the first woman ever to win a major-party nomination, is without question the most qualified candidate in the race for president and an easy call to make when considering the challenges confronting the nation. Her nearly 40 years in public life have instilled in her the temperament she needs to face the many challenges that await.

Often in life the pragmatic choice makes more sense than the principled one. When faced with evolving dangers, flawed courses of action routinely are the only ones available. The trick is picking the most credible solution.

Sadly, it has come to this kind of thinking when presented with the major-party nominees for president this election cycle. So much so that serious consideration of a minor-party candidate has been tempting for many objective voters. And for a time, we toyed with supporting a principled protest vote in Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson.

Donald Trump purports to be a conservative, and he managed to hoodwink enough primary voters to win the Republican nomination. But he is in fact a lewd, bigoted, untested blowhard whose reckless actions and thoughtless decision-making processes put him in a class never before seen on such a stage. A vote for Trump would support an unconscionable threat to core American values and national security.
