Unfortunately I have no confidence in any ability to kick anyone's butt ...I still haven't decided on a course that acknowledges reality yet allows me to live with my conscience.

I, too, try to calibrate the probability that I, or any organization/movement I'm connected to, could actually influence Trump, before or fter an election. My chances of influencing him are equivalent to my chances of influencing HRC: near absolute zero.
However, If HRC were to become president, she has all kinds of power bases built up in the House, the Senate, the Judiciary, the Fed bureaucracy, the Demo-rabble constituencies, etc. Pluse trhe EneMmedia plus the University-Global Buggery Complex, and --- speaking of global --- plus the Saudis, Soros, the Brussels Bureaufascists, the Orcs and Feregi and whoever else she has been able to bribe, bully, or blackmail.
Whereas Trump is, I think, much more of a loose cannon. You never know who, what, when, where, or how. He is largely without allies (in the usual sense) and wildly unpredictable.
And those are his *good* qualities.
I mean that literally.
With HRC, you know exactly who she is and what she will do. I consider it all unfathomably evil. And she has the connections, built up over the past 40 years of relentless plotting and scheming, to do it.
Whereas with the Orange Imbecile, you KNOW he isn't going to accomplish half of what he says, and there are any number of people who can tie his hands and prevent him from doing anything that's downright lunatic. Or so we are entitled to hope.
We are in front of two doors., One of them is marked with skulls-and crossbones, biohazard symbols, flashing lights saying "Extreme Danger?" "Toxic Effluent?" "High Voltage?" "Deadly Risk?" "Imminent Catastrophe?" and about a dozen more menacing question marks.
The other door is labeled "Hillary Rodham Clinton."
I'm choosing the door with the question marks.
