Figuring out Trump? Hell, I've been following his career for almost 30 years and I can't figure him out (now). The Donald Trump of the mid to late 80's, I would probably vote for. I was heavily involved in real estate and banking back then, and his style met with my view of the world and approach to business in those days. I'm not that way anymore, but then, yes, he would have fit the bill for me. But the Trump that developed in the 90's to the mid 2000's, I would have reservations about, though he still *might* get my vote. But now, the one from about 2008 to now, hell to the NO! He's turned almost purely into a "celebrity businessman" that primarily trades on past successes. He has developed a habit of shooting (almost entirely) from the hip and saying ridiculous and outlandish things, based on semi-truths, and worse, pure fantasy. He also flip-flops too much. He could just as easily be running as a liberal Democrat, based on many of his views (depending on the day of the week). Hillary is so flawed. She's like a fat, one-legged goose, waddling around on Christmas morning. If Trump wasn't such a thin-skinned buffoon, he could/should be able to wipe the floor with her. But because of his lack of discipline and immature nature, she's getting support, just because people (even many Republicans) are afraid of and/or ashamed to be associated with him. Amazing!
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, he is.
Which leads me to Hillary. I wouldn't vote for her either. While I'm sure that some of what's said about her is exaggerated, I'm also sure that there's a lot about her that is yet to come to light. And being a media darling, the mainstream broadcast and print media generally has her back. But still, there's a reason that she has such incredibly low trustworthiness ratings from even liberal Democrats. I perceive her to be as fake as the day is long, and that's only matched by her through and through corrupt traits. Even measured against other national politicians, she and her husband have taken it to new heights (or depths). The emails and her half-assed spin on that is one thing. But the way that the Clinton Foundation handles its finances, combined with the fix that was put in at the DNC to benefit her and eliminate the Sanders threat, stinks to high Heaven. I learned as a child, once a dog starts killing chickens as a pup, you'll never get that taste for blood out of him. He might behave himself while you're watching him. But as soon as you turn your back, he's going to be eyeing your best laying hen. That's just who Hillary is. It's in her.
As I've said before, this is without a doubt, the worst pair of Presidential candidates (from the major parties) that I can remember in my lifetime. And while I'm more libertarian (with a small "l"), I'm not crazy about Gary Johnson either. But I'm looking at him harder and harder by the day. I need to learn more. Because I will not vote for the crook or the kook.
