The State of Georgia is a virtual tie between Trump and Clinton

He will. Think of all those states hollowed out by offshoring. Michigan, Ohio, New York etc.
Hurt by immigration. Florida, Arizona, California.

Think about it like this.
With Hillary, you know you're getting fucked.
With Trump, there may be some real upside.
At least he offers a shot.
The gamble to your upside is that he also "offers a shot" at rising deficits, ballooning debt, and rising interest rates which, if you're really worried about the US being insolvent, you would not want to do.
Hillary appears to be pretty safe, modest spending increases on specific programs, paid for by targeted tax increases. Nothing in her plan suggests a "tear up the economy and hope something good comes out" is intended.
I am by no means a fan of the Clintons, but what exactly was wrong with the 1990's?
This is coming down to a divide between people who view themselves as victims freaking out and looking for anybody to blame (whether they consciously can admit it to themselves or not), and people who have demonstrated the ability to educate themselves, adapt, and matriculate into the realities of modern 21st century society, and succeed in an intellectual and service driven economy.
I have sympathy for people who realize they have fallen behind and need to partner up to integrate into the modern American economy, but I have no sympathy for people who blame their marginal status on immigrants and other cultures. America is already great, for motivated people. That's how it's been the whole time.
The rest can darwin out, but spare us the irony of listening to bleating cries for someone like Trump to save you at the same time you're so confused that you think everyone else is leaching off our great american culture.

we don't want more of the same
America already has 94 million US citizens who are non-working adults. How do you think the millions of low IQ, non-English speaking Hispanics and Muslim savage invaders "make their living" here?
You don't believe those same millions came here for some other reason than to leech off of Americans, do you? (No, I didn't forget... the Muslims also want to kill all of us if we don't convert.)

Then look to incremental, managed change.
