Neither are we willing to endorse the Democratic candidate or any other candidate.

This election, as has been said, is one for the ages: two major party candidates who leave voters with more questions about their character, integrity and policies than anyone can answer.

Hillary Clinton: We don’t trust Hillary Clinton, and we don’t think the nation is ready to follow her. As Barack Obama promised, the electorate wants change. But Clinton offers no change.

From the questionable contributions by foreign governments to the Clinton Foundation to her reckless handling of classified material in emails as secretary of state, it seems there is always something smoldering behind the scenes with Clinton. And from the time she entered the political arena as Bill Clinton’s first lady, the air has never quite been clear.

In a way, those scandals and near scandals seem related to a second problem with Clinton: Her willingness to be inconsistent when it is in her political interest. In other words, she’ll flip-flop regardless of principle. Take as an example her position on the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. She was for it, until Bernie Sanders started picking up votes by demagoguing the issue as a job killer. Then she was against it. During the Democratic National Convention, Terry McAuliffe, a long-time Clinton family pal, said he expected her to be for it again if she was elected. When that didn’t go over well, he said he meant she would renegotiate the deal to make it better, but that wasn’t any more popular, so the Clinton people insisted that she was still against it, just like she always was, except for when she was for it.

In the end, Hillary Clinton just does not make the nation want to follow her. Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama all had the sort of charisma that made the majority want to listen and act. Hillary Clinton is in the mold of George W. Bush and Al Gore, brilliant in their own ways, but uninspired and uninspiring. She is, in short, a lousy politician, and she wants a politician’s job.

Donald Trump: Donald Trump, on the other hand, is a brilliant politician, and a lousy person.

From Day One, the Trump campaign has brought out the worst of America, not the greatness that he promises.

His campaign for president evokes the worst qualities in people: fear and bigotry. From the first day of his candidacy, when he claimed Mexico was sending its rapists and criminals to the United States, to his speech at the Republican National Convention, where he had the gall to suggest that the United States, the world’s only superpower, is not a great nation, Trump has sought to build a political bloc out of misplaced anger and anxiety.

All politicians are egoist, but Trump’s overvaluation of his own self is truly monumental. His claim that only he has the ability to make America great again suffers from two gigantic flaws: America is great, and he isn’t going to make it any greater.

Indeed, if he were elected president, he would probably make it a good deal worse because never in the history of American politics has there been a major party candidate with fewer qualifications to be the president. Trump has never held an elective office or had any significant leadership in legislative action. And, despite what an angry electorate might think, the ability to work through the legislative process is a requisite of the job. He isn’t the only person capable of fixing our nation’s problems. He’s not even on the list of those who should try.

In place of competence or facts, Trump’s campaign relies on faith. And not the type of faith most believe in, but rather a faith in Trump himself. In trade, terrorism and immigration, he promises the moon. Not just any moon, but a HUGE moon, the most magnificent moon ever! But when pressed for how he will produce this lunar miracle, he just says, “Believe me.” We don’t believe.

Never before have we so firmly believed that each of us has to find the answers for ourselves. We encourage every voter to identify what is important to them and their families. Only then can each voter determine who they believe is the best choice in this presidential election.

We encourage all voters to participate in the election and to follow their consciences in making the best choice from the least acceptable list of candidates for president in modern times. We won’t be endorsing any of them.
