I couldn't get past the first sentence. :lol:
Sorry, but no, the vast bulk of your defense of Trump has been Hillary comparisons. And when you say things like...
...statements like this are clear and definitive examples of blind faith, or desperate hope, if you will.
For most anti-Trump people, it's not that Hillary is any kind of prize. Phfft, far from it. But, she is the status quo, and Trump would most likely be even worse. Not all of what Trump says he wants to do is necessarily bad, but it is highly questionable that he would be able to actually pull it off. Plus, some of the things he would/could do would be an absolute travesty, primarily in foreign relations, both militarily and trade.
Is that a "lesser of two evils" argument? To a point, sure. But this is not your father's election, either. The idealism of the past simply doesn't apply this time. We had a chance for idealism in the primaries and we effed it up.
That is the choice we have, Hillary vs. Trump thus the comparisons. The lessor of two evils? One is evil and the other you really have no idea about but seem to want more of the same with Hillary. Politicians got us into this mess and maybe a one term Trump Presidency will get us out. It sure isn't Hillary. The Trump economic speech was accurate and Hillary's was full of lies but aren't we used to that with Hillary? Stop listening to the tone and focus on the content of Trump's speeches
