The MSM and Hillary's endorsements keep pushing me where I don't want to go - towards Trump.

Over the last few years, I've been convinced that while I am very sympathetic to libertarian ideals, the Libertarian party is a joke and Libertarians are so argumentative and self-sabotaging that they will never be able to convince the majority of the nation that their ideals are worth following. Too bad. I was a prime candidate for such a conversion.
There are far more directions.
If that's the excuse you want to tell yourself to feel better.

Which implies all roads lead away from Rome too.All roads lead to Rome.
If we are going to assess viability off polls, they're actually is only one viable candidate in Indiana, that being Donald Trump. If he is not the only viable candidate in a red state where his vice president pick is from, then there really is only one viable candidate in the national election, Hillary Clinton. The polling fromOhio, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, etc. make this a given.No.....no there are not any other viable choices. Choices, yes. Viable.........Nope.
Given outcome... no matter how much one wishes otherwise.
If Trump loses Indiana, he has lost the election a whole bunch of other ways (Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, etc) first. Me voting for him does nothing but help give him a popular vote mandate. If he wins, I want him to have 0 mandate. I can see no upside to giving my vote to a person I have no respect for and do not trust.
If I lived in a state listed above, it would be a harder question. In my current residence, I don't see a way for me to vote for either main candidate in good conscience. Hillary is scum, Trump is scum-lite. I'm not helping scum-lite get a mandate.
No.....no there are not any other viable choices. Choices, yes. Viable.........Nope.
Enough people waiting for a viable alternative prevent the possibility of ever making an alternative viable.
There is some truth to that.

Hillary, Gary "Aleppo" Johnson, and Jill not-so-ein-Stein
None of these are directions I want to go.
