[quote=Anonymous]I'm voting for Trump but I'm not telling anyone. Maybe that's part of the problem. But as I see it, people who are against Trump are SOOOO against him that they can't be nice or have a normal conversation about why Trump vs. Hillary. Too many people get defensive or try to get you to change your mind. I'm all for listening to another perspective, but not at the risk of being attacked.

For what's it worth, here are the main reasons I'm voting Trump:
1) What Trump actually says vs. the media headlines/quotes taken out of context are two different things. Does he say stuff he shouldn't? Absolutely. And some of it I certainly don't agree with. But, see point 2. [b]A president should not be regularly saying cruel, insensitive, patently wrong things like a Twitter celeb.[/b]
2) He's not an established politician. He's new to the scene and will shake things up. I think our political system needs that. And because he isn't a politician, he's rougher around the edges. Hasn't had the media training or experience all the other candidates have. [b]Can you name a time when an arbitrary "shaking up" by someone completely ignorant of a field and its issues has been positive?  [/b]
3) He's a successful businessman. He knows how to put the right people in the right position to create a successful company/business. I see that as the job of the President.  [b]He's not a successful businessman. He doesn't pay people. He's been in bankruptcy four times. And we haven't seen his taxes to know how badly in debt he is right now.[/b]
4) And after last night's speech, he's bringing the Republican party to a more middle ground--I like that. [b]Talking like a 1930s German fascist is "more middle ground"? If you liked what Ivanka was selling, much that is actually Hillary's platform.[/b]
5) And last but not least, I agree that neither Presidential hopeful is ideal. But with Trump, at least you know where you stand. With Hillary, it's a series of lies and skirting the system. To me, she's not trustworthy. [b]Just for one issue: Trump has been pro-choice, right up until the last two or three years when he became anti-choice. He said women who have abortions should face jail time. Then he backed off. So which is it? Again, that's just one position of his on which he has zero ethics.[/b][/quote]
