WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump offer voters distinct choices this fall on issues that shape everyday lives.
Actual ideas are in play, as difficult as it can be to see them through the surreal layers of the 2016 presidential campaign.
Washington, even in normal times, may feel like a foreign capital far removed from the places politicians love to talk about––the proverbial kitchen table, Main Street, your wallet.
But decisions to be made by President Trump or President Clinton are going to matter to home and hearth. The tax bite, the social safety net, the social fabric, potholes, prices, jobs, war, the air we breathe, personal debt and national debt—all that and more are touched in some way by the ballots of Tuesday, Nov. 8.
America’s place in the world is in the balance, too. So is the direction of the Supreme Court, tied between Republican and Democratic appointees. In a sense, a vote for president is also a vote to break the court’s left-right divide. Which side are you on?
