Well... okay.  So it's a little early.  The fact of the matter is that the longer you procrastinate, the more likely it is that you will miss voting.  And it's a darn shame. Um... have you seen that dimwit Trump?  From my earliest days, the people whom the Republican party have chosen to be president have been controversial (in some cases, really controversial), but I honestly believe that in their heart of hearts, they did what was best for the United States.  Until now.

Let me say this loud and clear:  Donald Trump is a barking idiot!!!

Register and vote.  Election Day is November 8.
