Well you may not agree with my thought process but for what it's worth...Libertarian666 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 28, 2019 5:54 am So if you like Trump's policies, why would you take a chance that an alternative candidate would actually fulfill them?
What I like is how he has cut through the Washington insider B-S to identify serious problems that everyone else (politicians and mainstream media alike) either were blind to, or pretended not to exist or even pretended to be Good Things (like exporting manufacturing jobs to low-wage locales then importing finished products back here, or importing unskilled and welfare-dependent Latin Americans to keep corporate wages low). Because he has done this, the rest of the Republican field will know that they can't go back to the pre-2016 status quo, not if they want a chance at winning the primary.
What I don't like is that he has no idea how to go about addressing these problems. He's a bull in a china shop and doesn't play well with others, and as a result he is mostly limited to solving problems via executive order. All those can be (and probably will be) reversed the moment a Democrat takes office. The tax reform bill was a notable exception, but I doubt he can repeat that accomplishment for anything else given that he's gotten precisely nowhere with immigration and health care proposals, not to mention The Wall. And, those traits appear to be getting worse, although maybe that's just a perception because the press has lost all professional restraint. High turnover of Administration staff is probably a better indicator.
If another candidate with better people skills could pick up where Trump left off that would be ideal.
