Kevin,
A Trump win scares the hell out of me. I would have been scared, just having
listened to some of the things he's said. But so far, I've read 2 books
about him and several articles. The man is a psycopath. He's a terrible
person, in his personal life, and in his business life. He has no conscience
so he'll do anything to get what he wants and he functions in the short
term, like a child. He does stuff for ego gratification and he wants
immediate gratification. The people who've seen him function, know this and
that is why some of the Republicans, people whose values we despise, are
staying away from him. It's a matter of self defense for them, and has
nothing to do with whether or not they agree with him. Theyjust know that
he's unpredictable and that scares them.

Now debate
This is kind of where my thinking has gone as of late. We've been told again
and again how much of a disaster Trump would be, and that is true. But if
Hillary wins, things will not be all sweetness and light, and anyone who
thinks so is seriously dilusional. The best we can hope for is for things
pretty much staying the same, meaning perpetual gridlock, except maybe for
the things Hillary will cave on because there's no choice, or it could be a
lot worse, or something. It's not a huge stretch to think, as has been
stated here recently, that maybe a Trump win might actually be the catalyst
for the change we actually need. One thing's for sure; Congress, as it now
stands, won't work with Hillary any more than they did, or didn't, with
Obama. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to see impeachment on the table on
day one. On the other hand, Trump in the Presidency could bring on other
things too dismal to contemplate. To say I'm conflicted would be a gross
understatement.
