I've covered it much, but a brief summary which comes to mind.....Hey, Revoltingest......I'm not a Trump fan by a country mile, but I am genuinely interested in your reasoning for favoring him. This is not an attempt to get into a
Trump versus Hillary thing (not especially fond of her, either, although I tend to lean to the left on most things). I simply wish to know....no agendas. If you prefer, a PM is just fine, too.
- Hilda has a hawk's record & rhetoric, while Trump appears to be more isolationist. Less risk of war, especially with Iran.
- Hilda is far more likely to be pro-big government.
- Hilda's civil liberties record is weak, so advantage to neither here.
- Trump understands business, which is likely to translate into better economic policy.
- Hilda's accomplishments, managerial competence & experience are lacking.
Granted she's spent some time in actual government, but without measurable positive results.
- She appears more likely to appoint judges & justices who would alter the Constitution by fiat in a more authoritarian direction. (This one is a low confidence guess.)
- She'd foster a culture of corruption in government.
- She has a record of crony capitalism.
Trump also has a lot of negatives for me, eg, social conservatism, trade restrictions, no gov service record by which to judge how his agenda will match his actual performance.
