Letter: Make an informed decision when voting

During the Iowa caucuses I supported Ben Carson. I was told he didn't have a chance because he was 'too nice”. I guess that is correct since neither of the current candidates have been described in this way.
Since we have two flawed candidates; we need to vote for the person who would select the best Supreme Court Justices. These Justices normally retain their positions for decades; shaping our future as a country for generations to come.
At this point in time, I would vote for Donald Trump because a change in how our country is operating is needed. I am aware that change involves risk. However, I don't believe we can risk not changing.
Many of us base our decision on what is presented by the media; be sure to check those of varying opinions. Learn both sides of the story, make your own decision and vote.
Regardless of the results; let's do our part to heal the divide that has occurred. United we stand. Divided we fall.
