If you are one of many Montanans who wasn't eager to embrace either the Republican or Democratic presidential nominee, welcome to the pragmatic-decision club.

The next president of the United States will be either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Continuing irrational, vulgar, bullying behavior from Trump has confirmed what many of us long suspected: Trump is in no way fit to lead our great nation. Among innumerable examples: His mockery of a disabled journalist, his bragging about sexually assaulting women, his racist tirade against the judge presiding in the Trump University fraud case, his chummy praise for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. In the second presidential debate Trump said he would have a special prosecutor investigate Clinton and put her in jail. Imprisoning one's political opponent is right out of the Putin playbook.

Trump is ripping the GOP apart.

Clinton has her flaws. Keeping secretary of state messages on her private server was wrong, a mistake for which she has apologized. Her email misuse and other allegations brought by GOP members of Congress been investigated exhaustively. Clinton is probably the most thoroughly vetted candidate to ever seek the U.S. presidency.
