FWIW, anyone who thinks one candidate is vastly superior to the other is waaaay to the left or right. They're terrible. They could have an hour long debate where they lob insults at each other based on real life activity and not repeat a single one.
Literally any reasonably experienced politician would be a better choice than Trump.
Clinton, Sanders, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, the list goes on. I may disagree on policy with several of them, but it's unlikely that their Presidency would be all that bad, let alone the disaster that Trump's would be.
It's not a left/right thing (as evidenced by GHWB voting for Clinton), it's a common sense thing. Anyone who says that Clinton is just as bad as Trump is stupid.
I assume you're basing your view on Trump's Presidency based on his vast political record(any recent President have very little political experience?). While I think it's an extremely stupid reason to vote for Trump, no one knows what he'll do. Most likely be kept in check by his advisors and Congress.
It's utterly retarded to say "Trump's Presidency will be a disaster" with any conviction. Thanks for the input, retard.
Trump's Presidency would indeed be a disaster.
Domestically, there would be some levels of checks on policy because of Congress. I'd have less faith in his being able to be kept in check by advisors because Trump always needs to be the smartest guy in the room. His tagline from "The Apprentice" would likely play out on any "advisor" who gives him advice that goes against what he wants. I'd fear his issuance of Executive Orders might turn into a clusterfuck of repeated challenges of constitutionality all the way to the Supreme Court. One could argue that he could be the first President who takes office where it's anticipated that at some point, he's due to commit an impeachable offense.
And foreign policy and interaction with foreign leaders would be a complete disaster. Despite his promise months ago that he would "act Presidential" once he needed to, he's pretty much shown that he's either unwilling or incapable of doing so. How long before he insults a foreign leader or his/her spouse? I don't think I want to find out.
