In the end, I'm glad you'll be voting for him, your vote is important.

Fwiw, I think your list of what you say you disagree with in your earlier post is a bit strange:

Specifically I don't agree with his promise to leave entitlements untouched, I don't agree with is proposal to replace Obamacare rather than just repeal it, I don't agree with his proposals to cut taxes and increase spending without offsetting spending cuts.

I'm not certain where you get the idea he will leave entitlements untouched, how in the world replacing Obamacare with an HSA based free market system is bad, and that he isn't going to cut spending anywhere. I don't know where you get those ideas.

Perhaps that's why I'm voting for him enthusiastically. I think if you actually knew his positions on those issues, you would too.

But even with those disagreements I make it clear that I believe Trump is still infinitely preferable to the alternative.

I get that from Trump himself who has said no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

...how in the world replacing Obamacare with an HSA based free market system is bad...

Because his plan does nothing. Much of it already exists, at least one of his proposals completely ignores the 10th Amendment, and the rest will do little or nothing to control costs. The only solution is to repeal Obamacare and have the government stay out of it. There is nothing the government can do that won't be A) horribly expensive, and/or B) make matters worse.

... and that he isn't going to cut spending anywhere.

I have yet to see any serious proposals from him outlining where he will cut anything. Right now we have a half-trillion dollar deficit. Trump has proposed large increases in defense and a trillion dollars for infrastructure. Something has to give or we'll be back to the trillion-plus deficits of the Obama years.

I don't know where you get those ideas.

Please show me where I'm wrong. I'm more than willing to learn.
