Could I really be considering the unthinkable — voting for “The Donald”? Me? A moderate Republican who has been pushed aside by rich guys and religious conservatives, and who is up against a moderate Democratic wife with a hope for female leadership.
My problem with the Clintons is their actions to do away with the Glass-Steagall Act, also known as the Banking Act of 1933, which was passed during the Great Depression. It clearly stated that bankers could not gamble our savings to enrich themselves and avoid losses by claiming it was legal. The Clintons have prospered thanks to their elite Wall Street supporters. Does Hillary Clinton, or any establishment candidate for that matter, support the current effort to get money out of politics? I don’t think so.
The other Republican contenders who purport to stand on religious and moral ground have no plan to provide a health care alternative other than to say it is up to locals to care for the poor and disadvantaged.
So here we come to the real problem — the rich and their cadre of politicians, greedy and myopic, unable to see how they are destroying the middle class and democracy as it was meant to be. So, if I can’t vote for Bernie Sanders, my second choice is Donald Trump. I know this could have unsettling results but that’s what comes with revolution — a change that must happen sooner or later
