This is what I said back in January:
I almost never comment on this stuff, but at the risk of alienating myself from this forum, I'm making an exception.
I agree with pretty much everything above except for the Trump/Sanders thing. Donald Trump is not smart enough to be POTUS. He's nothing more than a school yard bully.
It terrifies me to think that there are that many Americans that believe in him to elect him. I don't think that will happen.
I'm not talking about political correctness, I'm talking about basic common sense.
Much like Mitt Romney, Trump has given no details about his proposed policies/plan. When pressed he evades, deflects, and avoids the issue.
There is no way that a silver spoon blowhard that's bankrupted four companies during his career has the slightest clue as to how to be POTUS.
That's it for me.

This is what I say today:
I was completely wrong on my thought that the American people as a whole were smart enough to keep Trump out of the White House.
That saddens me deeply.
Trump's business career is a clear prediction of how he will rule the land.
I have three questions for everyone's consideration:
1. Do you understand that a man that can be baited into a confrontation by a Tweet now has the nuclear codes at his disposal?
2. Do you really have so little respect for others-such as minorities, other countries, the potential future of the planet, women(like perhaps your spouses), etc., that you'll support a man who's threatened to ignore the election results if he lost and to jail his competitor if he won?
3. After hearing/seeing/reading all of his lies and exaggerations about everything, do you really think that he will deliver on anything other than to promote himself and his cronies?
To be clear, I did not vote in this election, no candidate was worthy of my vote. And I won't vote for "a lesser of two evils".
My common sense/bullsh*t meter has been pegged in the red since Trump descended the escalator in his gaudy tower.
And I'm just a guy from Schenectady with a high school education.
I have learned one thing from all of this, ignorance and denial are incredibly powerful forces.
Again, that's it for me.
I hope to continue to interact with all of you on the car side.
If not, too bad for me.
