I say yes. Let's see how someone who has to make their living outside of government takes a crack at running the country. Can't do any worse than the last two we've had.

Actually, he can do worse.  A lot worse.



Considering how God awful these last 8 years were which I didn't think it was possible to top the previous 8 you may have a point. However I'll take that chance because it is beyond logic to continue employeeing the same people responsible for the crap we're in thinking they'll solve the problem. Anyone honestly thinking that voting someone who has spent their entire career in Washington has the answer is lying to themselves on levels unthinkable to a normal mind. 

 

What exactly is so "godawful" about the last 8 years anyway? The economy has largely recovered from the collapse in 2008. The housing market is back. By and large there's been no major terror attack, nothing even remotely close to a 9/11. There's been at least some progress in getting health care to more people that didn't have it before.

People who think China and Russia are doing so great ... go live in China or Russia as an average middle class person and then come back to me and tell me your quality of life is better. 

The main thing I'd say that's really, really awful about American society are the mass shootings and there's no easy solution to that unfortunately, but little kids shouldn't be getting gunned down going to school, that's just not normal. That and racism is still an issue in America, but that's going to be a long, ugly tread, unfortunately. I think the best that can be done is to hope that each successive generation is less racist than their parents, and I think that is happening.
