I find the policies of the left "scarier" and that's that my primary concern. Their ideas simply don't work and more Obama via Hilary is gonna be bad.
I get it, your primary concern is Trump's character. You think he's gonna make raping women legal or something, that's clearly his MO.
I'm giving my vote to who ever isn't more Obama and that means it has to be Trump. If it makes you feel better though, I don't expect Trump to actually win.

I don't know. Was Obama really that bad? In 2008, the economy was near collapse, banks going down, housing crisis. Hell I was laid off and there were tons more who also lost their jobs. Now employment is down, the economy is loads better, and health care is available for everyone.
I know people want to say that Obama was terrible and things are bad, but I see the results all around me all the time. People working, people earning money and people living better than they were 8 years ago.

I don't credit Obama for making things better, it was inevitable regardless who was in office. The employment numbers are BS because they generally exclude people that given up on working.
Health care isn't availabe to everyone per se. A lot of people have access to it for free (often the poor), meanwhile a lot of working people simply can't afford it and are opting to pay the penalty instead (I think $700 this year). Insurance companies are leaving Obamacare, it has been a complete disaster for much of the country since day one.
One of my biggest personal issues with Obama is he gives the impression he's disappointed with the country opposed to boasting about our contributions to the world. He has also been incredibly devisive to the people in this country and the only movement he seems to attack is the Tea Party because its critical of him. He ran as a fiscal conservitive and even mocked Bush for his handling of the budget but did much worse. He's objectively an awful leader even if you can pick out a few things he did well. I understand people like him perhaps for social issues, but I don't think those people really looking at his record.
In a nutshell, I'll pass on more Obama if given the chance. So I basically have to give my vote to Trump. I don't think Trump is the ideal candidate, its just the left wing option is really bad even when I ignore she's a corrupt politician.
