I think he's our best shot too. Two things still worry me...I love that he's going to be tougher with other countries, but will he cause TOO MUCH GLOBAL TENSION and therefore cause a "stupid" type of conflict/war...some conflicts/wars are for better reasons than others...will his stubbornness get in the way? Secondly, if jobs "come back" to America because companies bring back their factories or companies just stop leaving...I'm concerned that consumer prices will rise significantly (inflation). Think about it...we are displacing low cost wages from other countries with Americans that demand higher wages (unions)...companies will pass on the costs to the consumer. Hopefully, the increase in competition will work and prices will stabilize. I know he's not perfect, but he's worth the risk in my opinion...we need some major changes!
When Trump is President... he better not sell us out.

Yes, there will be some inflation. But that's exactly what Janet Yellen and Paul Krugman want, ya?
It should be moderate. Not too high. Everything is being automated with robots now. And with all that real economic growth, should come a stronger dollars
The bigger threat is that the GOPe demands "one of their own" as his V.P. (like the elder Bush in 1980) and a small, but powerful bunch decide to run things from the WH (perhaps behind the scenes or against the will of Trump)...
The past week or so you can kind of feel the "if you can't beat em, join em" mentality coming thru, but I'm sure that they are calculating which of their "own" they can throw in his administration to compromise all of his big plans.

It's just one battle after another for "THE DONALD"!
They are torn between this strategy and the bitter end NeverTrumpers who are suggesting working with Trump is little different than being a Nazi collaborator.
They are planning on using access to party campaign funds and manpower as leverage to get Trump to soften his signature positions on trade and immigration. Of course, those positions are what got him the nomination. Dropping them now would be suicidal.
A better course would be for him to go on the offensive and accuse the party bosses of trying to throw the election to Hillary. That's win/win because he can blame them if he loses. And the voters will blame them and punish them.
No one wants to see price inflation such as what we'd expect to see with large hikes to our tariff schedule.
skewed poll.
D-62 R- 56 I-21
Way to low for independents. Poor ratio of D to R for the upcoming election.
