Well said. This is probably the crux of what's going to make this a hard decision for me. I don't particularly like either candidate, but I have to choose one since I'm in a swing state and my vote actually matters this time. I'm searching for the stances that I do actually like in both and using that to base my decision, and Trump going against the establishment is one of those things that I like, even though in a different light I also put Hillary's continuation of status quo as beneficial as well. I can vote for one person that can shake things up for better or for worse, and I guess I have to decide if I think that's worth the gamble. If by the time the election comes around and neither has an edge in my mind, I'll probably err on the side of safety and go with our more stable candidate.
