minds be changed, but just in case, here are some reminders why a vote for Trump is a mistake. He has no respect for those things that are important to maintain the health of our way of governing. There can be battles fought, and they should be, over fiscal, foreign, domestic, etc., policies. But, a Trump presidency would go way beyond that.
......is overwhelming. Anyone who could vote for him after that, has a screw loose. Not that Hillory is an attractive alternative.
...Oxford Economics, an independent global advisory firm, said Trump's policies - including more protectionist trade measures, tax cuts and mass deportation of illegal immigrants could have "adverse" consequences.
"Should Mr. Trump prove more successful in achieving adoption of his policies, the consequences could be far-reaching – knocking 5 percent off the level of U.S. GDP relative to baseline and undermining the anticipated recovery in global growth," Oxford said.
Oh yeah, Trump's a great businessman. His supporters think he'll run our economy just like he does his businesses. Except we really don't know anything about the state of his businesses, do we? He's gaudy and ostentatious like a guy with a hundred dollar bill wrapped around a wad of ones

increase our national debt by $12.5 trillion?
That's also dangerous simply because a nation's economy functions toward a different end than a business.
It might be good business to pay very low wages for labor and sell very high value of products and/or services.
You try to apply that to how we keep the economy well oiled and increase trade, you get in trouble. You'd be working to immiserate the working force and the middleclass professionals while making policies that increase the price of exports. Then you have a lot of people with very little disposable income feeling they only afford to buy the cheapest imports. Hey...!! Wait a minute!! THAT'S what we've got NOW!!!!
