JG: honestly, I really don't care; you guys can tear yourselves apart as much as you want, at a core level it doesn't affect me at all. Hell, we can't talk - as a country, we've been doing that too lately.

Some of Trump's rhetoric I even agree with; I work for a large company who spends all of its time either offshoring staff or automating them out of existence, and we also own businesses in other regions where the governments have done the right thing by effectively ensuring staff retention by mandating anybody with access to customer data is in the same country as the customer. It's a great idea I think. Countries SHOULD be ensuring that their jobs stay local.

What I don't like about Trump is the fact he's so obviously going to look after #1 first, then the rest of the country, and the world. I don't want Australia to be dragged into another useless war, and honestly I see that as being where Trump will head. There's a reason that right now, this week, China and Russia announced live fire Naval training with each other in the South China Sea; it's not a coincidence.

Secondly, I don't believe any of the things he says; as somebody who has spent his entire life cutting costs and corners to make himself rich (arguably even at the expense of the companies and shareholders he represents), I simply don't believe he won't do the same thing in government, no matter what "make us great again" shit he spews out. I think he's a self serving, giant douche.

Now; don't get me wrong. I am well aware of Hillary's failings. All the hacking/email/whatever scandals show poor choice, but not a deliberate act to further her own ends. I think she's a self serving turd sandwich. I'm also aware that people basically think this is Bill's return to power if she gets in. Even if it is, I don't think that's a bad thing; in the recent history of the US, I'll tell you right now that when Bill was in power was internationally the best time between the US and its allies, and you were a laughing stock when "dubya" came in - and was then re-elected. When Bill was in power was the last time the US was "great", so to me when Trump says great again, it's returning to the days of Bill. On a world stage, Obama I don't really think has done anything either positive or negative, I agree he's been a bit 'wishy-washy' as a president.

I guess to directly answer your question, the only reason I care is because right now I think the entire world is spiraling out of control and is one spark away from a giant shit storm; and I think he's the spark. The best quote I saw recently was along the lines of "if you don't think this has the feeling of Germany in the 30s, you haven't read enough history books".

Maybe he'll order the hit on Franz Ferdinand?
