you need a shrewd businessman not a politician to run the country
All we need is someone who cares about the future of the republic. Their occupation is irrelevant, but their competence obviously does matter. Trump claims to be that guy, and he claims it with enough strength that I hope he is for real.
I'm now cautiously optimistic that Trump has cleared the election hurdle, but there are a lot more of them to go as the globalists (who still have a few months of Obama left unless he's arrested) fight back. Trump also needs to keep his ass alive, though I think that an assassination would be to risky in this climate so he's probably good there.
(As for my caution, I'm still gun-shy after going to sleep in 2000 after my candidate 'won' only to wake up to find something different the next morning. In retrospect I'm glad Gore didn't become prez, but I wasn't at that time and I'm not down with election theft under any circumstance. Even if it means the election of the creepy witch!)
Then the nitty-gritty details of 'draining the swamp' come into play. Lots of compromises to be made there, and I get that. I voted for Trump and gave his campaign money because I wanted him to be aggressive here it being the defining and lasting way to 'Make America Great Again.' I plan to try to hold Trump's feet to the fire. I'll be super pissed if he pulls a Reagan and installs the very slimeballs that he ran against where they continued along their merry way selling out and destroying the country while he became a senile vegetable.
I am prepared for Trump to not live up to my hopes and expectations which are pretty high but I am confident that nothing could be worse for the country than Hillary Clinton.
It's not just Trump. It is the reversal of all the fake executive orders, the slate of Supreme Court judges, the fact that Trump can deal with the House and the Senate to enact positive change. It means the stake in the heart of Obamacare. The end of the IRS lawsuit for them fighting conservatives, and the end of their corrupt practices in auditing conservatives.
I would speculate it is the end of a climate of fear and intimidation that had descended over this country. How many people do you know who were for Trump, but who would not admit it publicly?
