Trump vs Any republican...

We were having a discussion and many of us came to the conclusion that we'd vote for just about any repub over trump with probably the exception of bush.

At least with bush, despite his war-mongering history, he knew better than to insult the military, veterans and their families. That was one line he never crossed.

at least he is predictable.

Donald Trump is not, and is a danger to all people everywhere with the power of the US presidency behind him.

As a candidate, he is unprecedented in his unfitness for the job. I hope that the electorate finds that out sooner than later.

past 2008, the recession/depression would not have ended and by now we'd be a third world country like a
Mad Max movie. fires in the streets. I wouldn't underestimate Dick Cheney. Also, I wonder
how many Iraqi civilians have been killed since the war based on lies. I think the count was
600,000, and that was in 2007.

but Donald Trump might be so much worse.

Your Mad Max scenario could come true post nuclear war apocalypse.
