Rick Perry.... Although I can't really explain why most people hate him, he's certainly a terrible choice. I can only remember he's cut our education budget a good amount a few years back, toll roads, .... plus I'm against the death penalty (as opposed to in the past). The same person who "wanted to cut the energy position is now being put into office for that same position". That's clearly a very red light. I was originally a bit amused that the cheats of the Democratic Party got their just desserts for what they did to Bernie, forcing Hillary on us, but now I've changed my mind and would've just preferred Clinton to win; it's what Bernie would've wanted.

I do think Bernie needs to form his own party and pull away progressives from BOTH parties, liberal or conservative. His ideas I admit, though not impossible, seem a bit farfetched, so perhaps some conservative/moderate thinking could compromise or tackle the issues in a different way than just more spending.

I.e., rather than a flat out one-for-all $15 wage, why not mandate profit checks on top of a base wage (or if high enough, just pay in profit check)?

Oh, and I did vote for Clinton.
