What's this?

1. The security issue is overblown, as is the concept that added

security in any measurable amount will be done by Trump's wall rhetoric.
2. Hillary was all about improving O-care. However, the GOP would not work with her, so based just on partisanship, maybe Trump has a better chance. However, you are completely wrong about Hillary going in the opposite direction.
3. So far he has whiffed on NAFTA - he looks weak and stupid. Also, if you are going to renegotiate every existing contract, that will likely hurt you in new agreements due to your lack of credibility. Also, anyone thinking that reducing trade is a good long term solution is not a true republican - just partisan. Also, Hillary likely would have done the same to satisfy the masses.

Still no justification for supporting a known racist and misogynist and loose canon.
