I'm Canadian so I have no say in the end, but I watch a lot of American T.V. and see enough of the politics and debates to have a somewhat informed decision on who I would vote for.
This election reminds me a lot of the movie Gladiator. The great and mighty Caesar on his death bed who wishes for his top general Maximus to take over due to the absolute corruption of Roman politics. His "political as it gets" son Claudius, who would only make the existing state of Rome worse than it already is, will not give up this "right" and kills his own father to get it. Sure enough Rome continues to be a joke run by sleazy senators who keep the people "in line" by using the glitz and glam of show business.
I hate to say it but this pretty much sums America up to a "T" from my perspective. You have Trump who is not a politician and is not corrupted in the same way (corrupt businessman may be a different story) and you have Hillary the "rightful heir" who will just keep things the same way as they are now. How ironic it is that Hollywood clearly "favors" Hillary and she uses them a lot as a "veil" to cover up her agenda. Sound familiar?
Comparing Trump to the great General Maximus in the movie is a bit of a stretch yes, but it follows the plot line very closely. Truthfully I don't like either candidate all that much, but I definitely would pick Trump over Hillary.
Trump would at least be able to bring back some of the equality that once existed, financially anyway. Gender equality as well should get better with Trump with his daughter being a big part of his life and being an intelligent person herself. Racial equality is another story, but after Obama, I don't see Trump or Hillary being able to hold a candle to what Obama has done in that respect. Having someone like Trump in power for America right now seems like the best option. Someone who is realistic and willing to make tough decisions based on logic and not solely on politics. The fact that he seems never to get insulted or upset when someone disagrees with him or makes fun of him (outside of the political campaign competition), yet Hillary goes off the handle if you question her in any way, makes me feel that Trump is the right person to be dealing with other world leaders.
Trump may have a big mouth, and may say some dumb things sometimes, but they are always minor and forgetful in the grand scheme of things. I would much rather have Trump who will do the right thing for the people, as opposed to a sweet talker who's going to do what's best for her agenda and not for America.
Oddly enough most everyone else I talk to in Canada, friends, family, co-workers, seem to think Hillary would be better due to her political experience. Then again they are the same ones who voted for our current Prime Minister who hasn't been doing a whole lot of good for the country since he took over so...

EricHiggin, have you done actually any research on Trump outside of what you may hear from TV. The reason I say this is that your opinion seems to be one where you are dismissing a lot of the history of Trump the businessman and seem to be making assumption that he is somehow better. It's not that Trump has a big mouth its the fact that he doesn't have a clue what he is doing. You can easily go to Trump web site and Hillary website and see a clear difference between the 2. One site list a lot of policy about pretty much every political issue and stance on those issues. You go to another site and you see a lot of ambigious talking points but most important you see a very small list of items that canidate is going to do.
You say Trump will bring back equality but exactly how will this be accomplish by him.
Trump daughter cannot advise or have any real communication with her father if he becomes president because it would be a conflict of interest if she and her brother are still running the Trump Organization as Trump stated they would do if he become POTUS.
Your next point I have to wonder if you actually have paid any attention to Trump. You state Trump seesm to never get insulted or upset when someone disagrees with him make me seriously wonder exactly what canidate you have been watching for he past year.
Exactly why do you believe Trump will do the right thing for the American people and not do the right thing for Trump and his family. Like I asked, have you did any research on Trump the business man. After that look at his tax plan how it favors people like him.
