        I'll tell them when choosing between two bad choices I chose the one who wasn't under investigation by the FBI. That's reasonable.

        Oh, OK hot shot. Early voting for Hillary is clever. I'm very disappointed by my science heroes. They must stay out of politics. I beg.

        Thanks but no thanks. I'd rather have an answer when future generations ask what I did to stop rampant corruption.

        .@sapinker the comments here are depressing. Remarkable how anyone can vote Trump while claiming that Clinton is the unethical one.

        @JeffreyGuterman @nytimes Avoid the lines. In many states, including TX, if you're over 65 you can vote by absentee ballot.

        would you care if it'll be proven that she's corrupt? Would you change your vote?
