At least, Trump represents change
Today we are all witness to the difference between the Democratic political machine and the Republican political machine. When the Democratic candidate gets in trouble, the Democratic machine circles the wagons and goes on defense. When the Republican candidate gets in trouble, the Republicans become weak-kneed, cower, vacillate and try to take the high road.
As a Democrat whose first choice was Bernie, I still can't come around to support Hillary and I'll explain why. We know where Hillary stands. She has sold the nation to special interest while she was secretary of state and enriched herself and her foundation at the peril of the nation's security.
The Clintons have proved to be corrupt, greedy, serial liars and power hungry. By electing Hillary, we put Bill back in the White House. If Hillary gets elected, we might be stuck with her for eight years. She has pledged to use executive orders and continue the same failed politics of President Obama.
On the other hand, Trump might be a one-term president and there is always the check and balance of Congress. He is the only candidate who represents change and he is not your typical politician.
