I think she is a liar, untrustworthy and careless, but I can say the same things about Donald Trump (and quite a few other things that I could not say about Clinton). I could not listen to Trump talk for 4 (or even 8!) more years. Is she the perfect person for the job? No, and I don't think we'll ever get someone who pleases all 300 million people in America. Even though this campaign has been notoriously nasty, I think it has gotten young people like me, who can't even vote yet, to become politically informed and interested. Striving to be informed at a young age is important, and if this election has done one good thing, that is it.

My belief is that it's important to vote. But we need to have an informed populace and for the right people to run for office. Those two things didn't happen this time.
I didn't vote for President the first 3 opportunities that I had. But I really only regret one of those times. People should never have to learn a hard lesson. But I hope people watch these coming years. Vote in the next 2 years. And make sure nothing like this happens again. I feel sorry for minorities and people from other backgrounds who might be looked at as lesser and potential criminals or terrorists because of this.
