I think Trump gets in front of a camera and says a lot of dumb stuff, but I don't think he makes a lot of dumb decisions or surrounds himself with a lot of dumb advisers.
Let's list just a few of the the dumb deals that establishment politicians have gotten us into:
The invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq
The invasion and subsequent occupation of Afganistan
How many of our boys have died or been maimed? And for what? After all these years of fighting both of those places are a bigger shythole than when we started and neither government can defend themselves from the very type extremist that we supposedly went in there to defeat! How much money have we thrown up a wild hog's arse over there?
Obamacare turned a bunch of full time crappy jobs into part time crappy jobs. And it's just another huge bureaucracy.
Nafta exported jobs overseas and it's going to be tough getting them back.
The Iran nuclear deal...
The list goes on and on and it is way to extensive to list here! The establishment of both parties got us where we are today.
People are sick and tired of the establishment of both parties and I don't think it just the blue collar people. By the way there's fewer and fewer of those people thanks to the establishment's crappy deals. Our once thriving middle class is being diminished because all of the jobs where a guy used to could make a decent living without a college degree are being either regulated out of existence [Coal and energy], shipped overseas [Manufacturing] or now being performed by illegal immigrants [Construction.]
Countries are kicking our arse in trade, because they are protectionist in their policies and we are "free trade" and we accept that as a "good for Americans" deal.
It's crap like this why people are voting for Trump. They feel, right or wrong, that he can right the ship, that he can stand up to Russia and China, that he won't saddle us with more crappy trade deals, that if he sends the military in he send them in to kick arse and bring them home. He'll turn off the flood from Mexico. He'll do something about all the illegals already here. He'll bring blue collar jobs back. Etc...
Can he do that? I don't know. Does the thought of him as president scare me? Honestly it does, because you aren't sure what you are getting. I think most people feel that way, but are voting for him anyway. It's payback for Obama and for the Republicans letting that happen.
That's a good post.
I am a Cruz and Carson supporter but that is a good summary of things.
The next 8 months are going to be real interesting. Heck, even the atheist socialist 60s hippie Sanderstein is making things interesting over on the Communist side of the race.
God help us.
