This should make any principled person refuse to vote for the reality show host
"During a 33-year career at the Central Intelligence Agency, I served presidents of both parties — three Republicans and three Democrats. I was at President George W. Bush’s side when we were attacked on Sept. 11; as deputy director of the agency, I was with President Obama when we killed Osama bin Laden in 2011.
I am neither a registered Democrat nor a registered Republican. In my 40 years of voting, I have pulled the lever for candidates of both parties. As a government official, I have always been silent about my preference for president.
No longer. On Nov. 8, I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Between now and then, I will do everything I can to ensure that she is elected as our 45th president.
Two strongly held beliefs have brought me to this decision. First, Mrs. Clinton is highly qualified to be commander in chief. I trust she will deliver on the most important duty of a president — keeping our nation safe. Second, Donald J. Trump is not only unqualified for the job, but he may well pose a threat to our national security.
I spent four years working with Mrs. Clinton when she was secretary of state, most often in the White House Situation Room. In these critically important meetings, I found her to be prepared, detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument.
I also saw the secretary’s commitment to our nation’s security; her belief that America is an exceptional nation that must lead in the world for the country to remain secure and prosperous; her understanding that diplomacy can be effective only if the country is perceived as willing and able to use force if necessary; and, most important, her capacity to make the most difficult decision of all — whether to put young American women and men in harm’s way."

Barring her death, Hillary will win this election in a landslide. For all intent and purpose, the election for POTUS is over. Hillary's campaign and the DNC just need to make certain that everyone gets to the polls. So now what? Now it is time to push for those Senate seats and House seats. As bad as things are now for the Republicans, the Senate almost certainly will turn Democratic again. I have held off making any political donations, because I did not want to send Hillary money if it wasn't needed. Now I am free to use the money I have planned to donate to those Democrats running for Senate who are in tight races, including in my own state of Ohio where Ted Strickland should be able to unseat Rob Portman. As for why I am certain that this race is over, new polling today shows Hillary up four points in Georgia. This may well turn into a snowball effect where everyone on the fence decides they don't want their vote going to a loser. The race may tighten up again, but more likely Hillary will continue to extend her lead. Texas might even come into play if this continues. Don't believe that is out of the question, because as Hillary continues to build large leads in even swing states, she can use all of her money for advertising in states that normally would not vote Dem.
