I am for Trump I am I am. I do not like green eggs and ham. :-)
That is my problem with Trump. I don't feel the "vibe", so I am left having to look at the man and what he says.
Trump is marketing this campaign like he was selling toothpaste. He has ten points, and only ten, that he is driving home, over and over, by repetition.
1. Build the wall
2. Destroy ISIS
3. Protect the veterans
4. Make better trade deals
5. Make America great again
Did I say ten? Maybe it is just five.
The problem is, the President has ten things land on his desk before breakfast. Electing a President is always like buying a pig in a poke, you never know what you are going to get. So you have to evaluate the candidate based on what you can see.
Even if I am sure Donald Trump is going to keep his promises and do all of the things he says he is going to do, that is still a very small list. For the other million things that a President has to do, you have to make your best guess based on his ideology, temperament, and record. And for Donald Trump, all three of those things, ideology, temperament, and record, are all black boxes. At best, you can look at how he has lived his life outside of running for President, and the answers you get by doing that are not good for Donald Trump.
