43. So far, I really don't like Hillary's policies.

I really prefer Bernie's.

I know Trump is horrible. He is a racist.

But then, Hillary is a neocon who prides herself on the admiration of Kissinger, a man whose book I read way back in the 1960s and whom I detest as a killer and enemy of democracy.

So, I can't think of any reason to vote FOR Hillary, and I'm not sure just how motivated I really am to vote against Trump.

How would you persuade me to vote for Hillary knowing that I have no confidence in her foreign policy.
