Which is why I am leaning towards Sanders. He at least tells you what he will try and do. With Trump, we don't know. He is a true wildcard. The rest of the candidates are pretty much what we have seen before.
I agree - it's hard for me to take Trump seriously because I have no clue what he'll really try to do when he gets in office.
Sure, some of the things he says sound awful. But he says them in a way that it's really hard to take him seriously.
It makes sense to me to look at Trump the same way I look at Bernie. I really like Bernie's positions on nearly everything. And I expect that he will try to do all he says he'll try to do. And he'll get a little of what he wants. I'll be disappointed when he doesn't get more, and when he starts compromising - as he'll have to do - but I'll like the incremental improvements he'll get by pushing for his agenda.
Trump will try to do what he says, too. He'll push for a wall. He'll step up deportations. He'll put the brakes on immigrants from the Middle East for a while.
While I disagree with these things, if he only gets a little of them done, no big deal.
Then then there are the other things. Will he really cancel the Iran deal? Almost certainly not. Cruz and some others will. But I'm giving credit to Trump for knowing that will be harmful to American businesses. Will he ditch the TPP? I hope so, but I don't see how he can do that unilaterally if it has already passed Congress and been signed. It's not the same as the Iran deal, which went into effect without Congressional approval.
What else does Trump stand for and how much of it will he really try to do, or succeed in getting?
