Why Trump instead of Clinton?
We really don’t know if Donald Trump will keep the vague promises he has made. He has no political “track record” from which we could make an educated guess as to his projected performance.
Hillary Clinton has a 20-plus year “track record” of not telling the truth, falsifying and destroying revealing evidence. Among the examples: an illegal cattle futures scheme, the Whitewater real estate scandal and the classified top secret email server debacle.
When I break this down my decision is easy. We at least have chance Trump will honor his commitments. Clinton’s track record tells me not to believe her at all.
Finally, at the Republican National Convention, the Trump family was on full display. I was impressed with what I believe was a show of integrity from some great kids. Either they pulled off the biggest sham of all time in politics or Donald Trump and his family are genuine.
