[There] is a risk to truly Changing the system that it could become even worse, so [there] is some justification to be concerned or have some fear as to what may come when it changes.
His policies are listed in depth on his website. Out of those, which creates the most dangerous changes to the system?

I admit, when all this started, I thought “the Donald” was in this for a joke, perhaps a tax break, or even a new reality show. I NEVER thought he was serious. Now, well, it kind of looks like he is going to be the guy on the ballot.
So how on Earth are the American people making this decision? What is driving the public at large to want a pompous, arrogant blowhard, over the finely groomed Statesmen that are running against him?
Perhaps the People are just damn tired of Washington. I know I am.
I sure don’t think Trump has what I consider “Leader of the United States” qualities, but I have to admit, whatever he might bring would be a refreshing change to the status quo.
likely, he will get “the talk” once he gets in office. (I have a theory that each president is shown a picture of the guy on the grassy knoll waving with his rifle, and then told to be nice and follow orders)
Racism, sexism and religious intolerance hardly constitute politically incorrect speaking.
It amounts to a lot more than just politically incorrectness, it amounts to Trump serving his own agenda.
What politician has implemented any of their claimed policies that have been beneficial to the masses?
If you put more faith into their future policies versus past history of their actions than you are surely to be disappointed.
Trump has a history that warrants distrust for the reasons I stated in my previous posts.
He also has a history of being one of the greatest businessmen and leaders alive, employing close to 25, 000 people. But we'll just forget about that, won't we? ,
Sure we can ignore that and the fact that he inherited hundreds of millions and entities associated with him have filed for bankruptcy multiple times, and not to mention fraud. Or the fact that people that he has been associated with have painted a nasty picture of him including former business partners and biographer.
Or less just ignore the fact that the real people running this country are the greatest businessmen with dream teams of lawyers in DC.
How well has it been working out for us when the greatest businessmen (lobbyist) in DC have been calling the shots, or do you expect us to accept Hillaries answer that those lobbyist are just wasting Billions annually on something that doesn't work?
Sure lets do that and only look at what we want to see.
There is no such thing as a career politician who is not a great businessman. If they weren't, they wouldn't be able to survive in DC .
So what?
It doesn't require your moral approval when he has a proven track-record of success.
America could use a little success.
IMO, since the system is so corrupt, I think that electing a trustworthy individual is more important than a wealthy individual who inherited 100's of millions and is successful. Especially since wealthy individual have been running this country for centuries and it has gotten to where we are.
I'm not saying that trump couldn't do good, Actually I have said that their is 50/50 odd on him doing great or completely trashing this country.
However, If you only think that he can and will only do good, then you are clearly looking at only the things you want to fit into your virtual world. With trump their is lot to be concerned for as I mentioned before.
It is the politicians who are corrupt
You should look into which party
Once again, who cares if Trump inherited money? What to you sounds like a problem sounds to me like envy.
In fact, it is the non-rich that commit the majority of crimes.

So the people will get a 4 year trial of what they asked for. Something completely different. The one thing I hope for out of this is a stronger military. Ignorant decisions have been made and our strength has been diminished under the current rule, so that would be nice to see. And I hope to be pleasantly surprised as to how “the Donald” will deal with other world leaders. I think he would do better without his twitter feed.

When an idiot like George W Bush is elected to run for 2 terms, well, I suppose anything is possible!
