Let's not toss the baby out with the bathwater, and chuck the future over an email from some schmuck at the DNC.

Oh, I am throwing the baby, the bathwater, and the tub out. 

I don't believe for a second that this was just one e-mail from one schmuck at the DNC. Brad Marshall is the CFO of the whole organization! When you learn that this sort of political messaging is coming from the executive level of the DNC, it is safe to assume that the message permeates throughout significant portions of the organization.

I want things done, and was never expecting to run into Mother Theresa in this campaign.

So you're willing to accept a certain amount of bigotry and deception simply because one candidate's or party's position on climate change, health care, or any other key issue?

One other point as it pertains to the DNC tipping the scales in favor of Hillary from the beginning:

Why was it that we had 17 GOP candidates and only 4 Dem candidates? I think it was made very clear to all national democrats by the DNC that the path was being cleared for Hillary. That is not the DNC's role. How many other options were taken off the table because everyone was instructed not to take on Clinton? How is that fair to the American people or Democratic Party members as a whole?

Again, a pox on all of them.

Like I have a choice

Well, it is a binary election after all.

Hey, I was a Joe Biden guy.
But, we are now at the binary stage.
And I'm going with the overly secretive, dishonest Secretary of state over the dishonest, Bat*** crazy amateur, because she happens to align to my policy preferences better.

Three cheers for politics.

Hip, Hip, Horray ! 

P.S. I totally back your assessment of the choices (although I might have added a few EXTRA adjectives to the amateur ! )
