Looooooong post...
tl/dr: I'm not voting for Trump, but I'd much rather him be POTUS than Clinton
Trump's speech (and some kick ass "Make America great again, we're gonna make America great" song) we're the only things I watched from the entire convention.
I don't really understand the knocking it out of the ballpark sentiment. But then again, maybe I just don't understand what the convention speech is supposed to convey. It just seemed like he repeated a lot of the same stuff he's already said, but didn't give any more specifics. Maybe I was just zoning out.
Would have been nice if he actually came with some specifics of how he planned on making America great again. Maybe the plan is to keep specifics close to vest until after the DNC. But then again, as it's seemed throughout, maybe there are no specifics.
I won't even be able to bring myself to listen to that shrill hag when she gives her speech. But I can guarantee you it's going to be praised in the media as the greatest speech of all time, and the thing that sealed the deal for Clinton. Honestly, they probably will just send Bill out to accept her nomination.
All that I hope happens is Trump gets elected and rolls back everything Obama did through EO. I get the sentiment with regards to military spending and NATO. No reason the US should be footing the bill to police the world. I'd rather not borrow my children's future to protect some people in the ME who hate us anyway. But protectionist trade policies aren't going to save America. And who knows where he really stands on anything else.
But as I've said before. Trump won't get anything done where he needs Congress. He'll be able to roll back Obama's EOs if he so chooses. He'll be able to accomplish what he can through EO. Which will be good. We'll have the entire MSM and everyone in Congress finally talking about how bad legislating through EO is for the country (Although given the hypocrisy of the left on everything else, it won't matter once a D is back in office).
Additionally, the media will be against his policies just because he has an R next to his name. If Trump wants to bomb the hell out of the Middle East, the media will fight it tooth and nail. When Clinton wants to bomb the hell out of the Middle East, the media will tell us it's the right thing to do, and Clinton knows more than anyone. So as far left as Trump has been in the past, just because he has an R next to his name, the media will hate any left leaning policies.
I do feel like there's a slight chance Trump can surround himself with great people and right the ship. But then again, I think there's a far more likely chance he's just trolling us. But what the hell. I am 100% without a doubt certain Clinton will be the final nail in America's coffin.
