I've watched him in the primaries and how he behaved with his fellow candidates. He was a joke. I don't watch the news, not since May. Important stuff in the world will trickle up to my ear, but I gave up. When Fox was in the tank for Trump since January and giving him praise and a pass on all his horrible actions, I had enough. I will not go back to watching Fox at all. I don't watch CNN or MSNBC either -- though I did watch CNN for coverage of the Nice attacks, etc... major crises just to get some information. Fox News is dead to me.
Lower taxes, more jobs, better care for Veterans and better security are all things I support. I'm a true conservative. But Trump has nothing but words and no evidence he believes in these things nor that he has the competence or character to make it happen. I'm old too (50) and tired of the GOP being wimps. They should have stood up to Trump and said no way and ran a candidate who could win this thing and do some good. But of course, those twits wanted to run a goon like Bush or Christie. The establishment is just as bad as Trump.
He's not in the pocket of special interests you claim, but he is. His own. He's answerable and accountable to no one. And that's VERY dangerous. He's a blowhard who wants things done his way with no regard to what's right or legal. In the private sector fine. I liked him up to and after he started his campaign. But once his true colors showed, I started the #NeverTrump hashtag on Twitter back in March or so (long before the GOP co-opted it for their shenanigans). Many of us knew there was no way that clown was going to help this country and nothing so far has proven us wrong. But the good candidates were forced out and we were stuck.
I want this country to get back on track. But sadly, there isn't anyone capable of getting that done this election. So we have to wait until 2020 to hopefully clean up this mess we're getting November 8.
