I can see where he's coming from with the comments against Hillary but I'm not sure he's connected the dots between where Donald offers a solution to any of these problems. That he'd be some sort of sudden change of foreign policy, telling the rest of the world to treat gays and women with respect, as if no one's doing that already. Also, a large portion of this reads as "I don't like the people I went to college with", and if that were a solid ground for what I went on to vote for I...wouldn't vote.

I guess from an outsider's perspective the only reason to vote for either of these two candidates is "to stop the other one". There's been no concrete policies from either candidate, plenty of empty promises and a handful of shady activity dolloped on top.

Trump himself - I don't particularly understand him and don't believe a word he says. I'm more wary of what his supporters think. The idea that political correctness is the worst thing in the world. The idea that you can say whatever you like and punch whoever you like at a rally and no one's going to call you out on it. The convenience that all of the country's money problems have been caused by migration and social welfare rather than... (remember?) the banks.

I've seen a lot on here of Hillary's hellbent vision - she's going to start World War 3, she's going to declare war on Russia, she's going to bukkake her way through every Saudi whim in exchange for oil, whatever - and to be honest I'm not entirely sure Donald doesn't feel the same way about China, a war with whom would be equally cataclysmic - and I can imagine tensions and hostilities will escalate, that seems inescapable at the moment with the USA as a major diplomatic power. But... oh god I don't know... it just seems like everything she can do he can do better (I need musical numbers in times like these), and whichever way the vote goes there's going to be financial depression, war, the poor getting poorer and democracy getting dirtier. So in that case: yeah I know why people are voting for him and why I think he'll win. Just begs belief that people think a billionaire from TV is a man of the people, let alone a man with a plan.

Just going to keep flogging my "WHY DIDN'T THEY PICK BERNIE?" horse until I die (presumably in 3 years).
