So, you don't know what Trump's goals or policies are, the only one he hasn't been ridiculously vague about is the wall, and you are pretty sure that was a lie. But, you're gonna vote for him because you think he is a hard worker. Sounds smart. If you are so much of h"insider", maybe you could go have a look around inside and tell us what his policy stances actually are.
The thing that kills me about Trump voters is the level of trust you put in one person. It's really childlike, especially considering the man has a history of cheating people and just generally being a dopey cad. Do you have so little faith in yourself? Do you really think you are that studpid? I have faith in you; you are capable of understanding the complexity of the Trumpian mind. Don't be afraid. I really don't understand how grown people believe someone when they say I'm going fix everything, but I'm not going to tell you how or make any specific plans to that end. I'm just going to be able to magically do it cuz I'm Santa Clause. Good God, Lemon.

People who vote for Trump aren't just voting for him. They are voting for a systemic review and purge of the BS in government. Sure you have the traditional right-wingers (at least most of them) who are voting for him. Then you have the independents (like myself), who don't find much appealing about Clinton (and a lot of things unappealing), see both Johnson and Stein as having no chance to shake things up, and see Trump basically as the enema the GOP has needed for a LONG time. Finally, there are a few Democrats/left-wingers who supported Bernie and think the nomination was stolen from him...and instead of wasting their vote on 3rd party, are voting Trump in retaliation.
If he just enforces the immigration laws on the books, gets Congress to pass laws imposing tariffs on imports, and has an AG and FBI willing to go after corruption in both major parties, I'd be like a pig in shit. Compared to Obama, he'd look like Lincoln.
If you think Clinton is the best choice, you probably also think Obama was great and "a little corruption" is okay. In Austin, it's easy to forget there is a struggling American economy in the rest of the nation.
