But if one of the candidates has less horrible domestic issues stances, then that could be a tie-breaker among the two. If someone in a swing state really doesn't like either, then they too should vote third party or NOTA.
Fair enough on this. Many complain when those in a swing state say they will vote for neither of the two major party candidates.

I get the impression Trump will be less interventionist than Hillary. He seems more concerned with keeping foreigners out than going over to play in their sandbox.

Yes, they know the score far, far better than we do. We don't even know who to support over there. We have no business messing things up.

They have decided a violent strong man leading the country that will leave them alone for the most part is better than violent strong warring groups that will kill for not bending to their will.

We do not understand the choices but it's not up to us to understand.

There isn't. There is one who claims to continue to fight, and another one who claims to escalate it.

As for the beheading, why try to associate those guys to US, if they were cut off 1.5 years ago? Sometimes our allies do bad things. South Vietnamese did bad things, Afghani do bad things, soviets did very bad things, etc

Our moderate friends may be terrorists but they certainly are useful.
