Obama is a true believer in his agenda, and at least in that regard, has put his money where his mouth is. It's not a matter of morality or immorality, right or wrong, but simply one of commitment to one's cause. Kamikaze pilots were no different.
"The difference is, had the founding fathers lost, they would have all been hanged. If Trump loses, he is still worth $4 billion."
Any candidate that loses goes back to where they were at the start of the campaign. Your heartburn with Trump sounds as though it's with the amount of his personal worth; perhaps there's a place in the Sander's campaign for you. But if Trump wins, he turns over his personal worth to a blind trust to be managed by a complete stranger. I ask again, would you be willing to do the same on behalf of your country?
Good golly, my friend. His life isn’t anymore at risk than yours is by driving the I-5, though that may be considerable depending on the city and the time.
I like the comparison of Obama to a Kamikaze. I can see him flying a plane named the economy into something like the Statue of Liberty or a map of the US.
I do not think Trump is taking any great risk with his wealth. If past presidents are any indication, it should greatly increase his. I do not have any more or less “heartburn” concerning Trump than any other candidate. I do find it interesting the esteem to which he is held by some. Would I be willing to do the same with my life and fortune (what fortune?)? I was a Marine infantryman for 9 years; a forward observe who went out on small kill teams to call fire; you tell me.
