This is what bugs me about a lot of voters. One of the things. People concentrate almost entirely on a candidate's policies and beliefs are, as if that's the only thing they need to know. Trump may not be a bad businessman like some people say, but he is most certainly a reckless one. He just happens to be good at bouncing back from his many failures, but if he does the same kind of **** that made him file for bankruptcy, or put his name on projects that he had no involvement with whatsoever, then I don't have much faith that he's going to be in any way a responsible leader.

And Trump is useful as a candidate for showing to anyone with common sense just how ridiculous our political system has become, but the very reason he is useful as a candidate is why he shouldn't be allowed near the presidency. Because he's a ****ing joke who has given America no indication that he will be anything but a disaster.

At least we know Clinton probably won't run the country into the ground. In today's political climate I'm willing to settle for that. I'd rather not flip a coin on my country's future for the sake of mindless idealism.

I have to live in the system. So do you. Have some sense.
