ON THE HIGH NEGATIVES OF BOTH TRUMP AND HILLARY
If worse comes to worse...whether Hillary or Trump is elected....The House of Representatives and the senate can examine both people at the time of the Electoral counts...decide neither one of them is fit for office and simply appoint a different president and vice president....it can happen theoretically as the means to do so is laid out in the constitution...You'd see a fusion choice from both parties as a compromise! I think that's what needs to happen here. The congress and the country needs to say " a pox on both Trump and Hillary" and alternative choices be made by the congress. It might not be as disruptive as one might think as the country can then turn away from sex scandals and money scandals..they can.choose a woman president even...if such a qualified person can be found. But definitely we should not choose these two up for election now! The country then can begin a period of healing and self examination and to begin to shore up and repair our failing institutions. The self examination has to begin with the premise that elections in our nation have really become mirrors of our selves and our lack of moral values. Trump and Hillary are really us! We collectively have put these two very flawed people in a place that they could possibly be president. We of the nation have become morally lazy and incompetent to run our own republic to have put such people near the levers of power. The enemy really isn't Hillary and it isn't Trump...it is us! We really ought to be ashamed of ourselves...we have become a nation in which our "skirts have been pull over our faces" and the nations around us mock us for having our nakedness exposed!
I am voting for Trump and holding my nose. Yet I am not blind to his flaws. I think the stench of murder, financial corruption, and global elitism surrounding the Clinton and her advocacy of child murder via abortion automatically disqualifies her!
God is holding a mirror up at us in the form of these two candidates and I am ashamed of myself and for this nation. Lord Jesus forgive me as I make this public confession!
so....you would trust a Congress that banned light bulbs and put it’s stamp of approval on Obama’s Iran Nuke Deal to select a President more than the American People?
Keep holding your nose. Trump is the first presidential candidate that I will be able to enthusiastically vote for.
You’re going to get lynched.
This is the quickest way to foster bipartisan unity in the angry armed mobs that would descend upon Washington. Thwarting the will of even a third of the electorate is a very bad idea, especially in a country which has, historically, unified however grudgingly behind the legal authority of election winners.
Well, I see by your home page, you promote God and godly ways. May He bless you, as you seem to be trying to be a “peace maker”. I gotta tell you, though, I believe you are a wee bit naive.
You’ve got only half the verse right:
Matt 10:16 - Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
You need to work on the “wise as serpents” part. Congress would select somebody like Jeb or Ryan...
They don’t even stand up to Jughead. I have no doubt that they would declare Trump unfit but the RINOs would never denounce the Hildabeast.
You must be kidding.
You don’t seem to have noticed that ALL Democrats are pro-abortion Communists, not just Hillary. A “fusion” ticket???

If you have a mangina, its better not to tell everyone!
“The House of Representatives and the senate can examine both people at the time of the Electoral counts...decide neither one of them is fit for office and simply appoint a different president and vice president....it can happen theoretically as the means to do so is laid out in the constitution”
Where or how is this laid out in the constitution?
“The self examination has to begin with the premise that elections in our nation have really become mirrors of our selves and our lack of moral values.”
Too true.
Still, the important thing right now is for Trump to win the election.
“I am voting for Trump and holding my nose.”
Then maybe you should have ran yourself, so we can see what true perfection looks like.
Go F yourself self...
Congress has no input unless no one hets a majority of electoral college votes.
No, you're voting for Hillary and lying about it.
Badly.
Please cite the relevant passage in the Constitution.
The Constitution only allows Congress to intervene in the case of a tie. They can't "decide neither is fit for office", because the only two requirements are age and citizenship, and Obama threw the latter out.
The House can choose from the top three on electoral votes. The cute detail is if only Trump and the tyrant earn electoral votes, but one elector votes for someone else, such as Paul Ryan, then the House can only choose Trump, the tyrant, or that third person (Ryan/Jeb/whatever). By playing games and getting an elector to violate his obligation to vote as directed, the House could choose anyone eligible whom even one elector would support.
