I've really wanted to vote for someone who will put America first. But how can I vote for such dishonest, unstable man?
OK, you asked and I suspect you and others may not like my answer, but it is because DT is weak that we must vote for him. It may be that DT's instability and narcissism could be his best qualities as far as the nation is concerned.
Say what? Vote for the weaker of the two candidates? Yes, that's what I'm saying.
Hillary Clinton is probably not mentally ill, she's not that smart, but she is clever, actively engaged in the pursuit of evil, experienced, connected, conniving and willing to do anything and everything to enhance her own power and position.*
And, much like the guy who "took the presidency from her in 2008", she doesn't really like us Americans that much. She doesn't find us appealing, she doesn't really understand or empathize with us and she thinks we're patsys for believing most of the stuff we believe. Like the Constitution, like American exceptionalism, like freedom. I'll grant you that DT doesn't believe in those things either, but his lack of belief is a result of intellectual laziness, whereas hers is an active dislike of those things that are good. He is able to overlook those things, she will actively work to destroy them.
Trump, on the other hand, is an amateur on the international scene, undisciplined and disorganized. He will be much easier to isolate and will be much less effective than the supremely disciplined Clinton.
One of the better arguments I have seen presented here is the idea that we need to maintain control of the House and Senate. I agree; that’s how it should be. However, we the people, have had little-to-no control over what goes on in DC for many years now, and what little influence we have had is diminishing. The House and the Senate are engaged for the most part in the Clintonian art of taking what they can get and consolidating power, all the while making every effort to displace any responsibility that might fall on them for their actions or lack thereof.
They are NOT going to want to limit what HRC does – they simply don’t have the vision or backbone to do so. DJT presents a much softer target, and one that I think they will push back against.
HRC also is (willingly) bought and paid for by the Muslim Brotherhood. DJT's ego just may mean that he will feel the need to follow through on as least some of his promises in that area. Ditto slowing the flood across the border. With HRC we are guaranteed more immigration of the bad kind.
And, my last point for now: DJT is much more impeachable that HRC. If it comes to it, and the clamor from the people reaches a point where Congress finally feels that they must do something beyond the silly, stupid and insulting never-ending "hearings", they could and would take out the nominal Republican where they would never take out the Dem. And, particularly one they fear as much as Clinton.
*Re: "willing to do anything and everything to enhance her own power and position“, yes, she is. Things like repeatedly and easily lying to Congress and the people of the United States, selling military technology to the Chinese, accepting foreign funds as Secretary of State in return for making decisions that benefited those entities bribing her, setting up an unsafe and highly illegal email system that jeopardized and may have contributed to the deaths of a number of Americans, and possibly others – just to be able to avoid the possibility of her communications being on the record.
