“I just can’t understand why so many on this forum are kneeling before the looming disaster that is Trump. A former liberal, power monger, who will sell his soul or anyone else’s, to line his own pockets. He’s offered nothing tangible as far as a plan. Just one liners.”
Trump has never held public office, so he is a real wild card.
He could have a wild upside, a wild downside, or a mix of big positives and negatives.
I think that a big part of his appeal is his break from the status quo, which is so dis-functional that people are willing to take a big risk.
I also worry about the potential downside of a corrupt administration. But when push comes to shove, we both know that the Democrats are nothing but downside (it is not even a risk - its guaranteed).
Trump has a lot of potentially powerful upsides, like controlling immigration, cleaning out islamists, more favorable trade policies, and breaking through the tyranny of political correctness.
It is natural that people project their hopes onto candidates - it happens every election. Trump is exceptionally high risk/high potential return.
Are you not trouble by the current corrupt GOPe that is helping the resident destroy our culture?
