Decisions, Decisions

If you are having a hard time deciding between Trump and Clinton, you need to do some self-evaluation. A lot of people don't like Hillary.   I disagree with her on a lot of things.  Fewer than with Trump, though.   I don't much like her, but I like him less.   I'm not a fan of most politicians.  But ask yourself which of those two would make the better president.  If you think the better president would be the racist scumbag; the unscrupulous businessman; the guy who encourages violence among his supporters; who threatens to sue anyone who disagrees with him- I question your human decency.  Hillary has the experience, knowledge, and temperament to be president.  Trump does not.  A lot of the stuff people don't like about her is made up, distorted, sketchy.  The stuff I don't like about Trump is true, and he says it every day.

 I really don't get it.  He is a demagogue, a charlatan, and a boor.  (I know, those are big words for his followers.)  The people I've seen supporting him are lunatics.  They seem disconnected from reality.  What is it that they think will make him a good president?  He has no experience or qualifications as a politician, statesman, whatever.  They may say he is a good businessman.  He is not.  He is a scam artist.  When he doesn't get his way in a deal, he sues.  If it's a little guy, he tries to take his house.  He's an asshole.  He advocates violence.  None of the qualities I've seen him display are ones I'd want in a president.  If you want someone like that,... well, you already know what I think of you.

I'm glad people stood up to him in Chicago, and made it very clear that he is not welcome.  I hope that happens other places, and I will join in if he comes to my town.  I do worry about what will happen- his supporters are nutbags, and dangerous, and things could get very nasty.  But not standing up to him will make things even worse.
