And I'm not sure if democracy in Romania is (that much) worse than in the USA.
Yeah at least they had to jump through hoops to join the EU...

I was so happy to see Clinton's speech yesterday. This is what i've been waiting for from her. Calm, collected, and brutal. Trump has looked even more like a flailing idiot than usual this week.
What is the best case for Trump? That he surrounds himself with brilliant minds in his cabinet (and note that he's talked about having Sarah Palin in his cabinet)
He has?
Hillary Clinton's speech was brilliant and brutal. She eviscerated him. I also cannot wait until President Obama gets into the fray.
Basically, with his public questioning of a federal judge, Donald Trump has just questioned the patriotism of every Mexican-American. He can go fuck himself.
i see her having no problems winning over lots of centrist to center right voters, especially women.
To the surprise of no one, and less than a month after initially saying he was "not ready," Paul Ryan has endorsed Trump.
Way to make a principled stand, Paul.*
*of course, when Trump is defeated, Ryan will point to his initial hesitance as a principled stand as he gears up for the 2020 race.
Secretary of watching Russia from the back yard
Clinton just needs to be steady, show understanding of policy and world affairs. Trump will continue to do what he does, which is act like a moron. He'll keep his base, but Clinton has the chance to add to hers (Bernie supporters, moderate GOP, Independents)
It really is sad that in 2016, these candidates are the best a nation with over 340 million people can produce. Ideally we would want someone who is the BEST at what they do, or possibly the smartest, most logical ideas to progress society forward.
Clinton is a liar, she's shady, and she's a politician. She knows the game, she is also extremely smart. She just isn't the most likable person, in fact, she's one of the least favorable public personas presented for POTUS in a while. From those who have worked with her in private, the reviews are better. She's brilliant, she wants to learn and understand policy. But none of that really comes across when she is in public.
The reason I am voting for her is that she will not fuck everything up. Her worst case presidency is a GOP lite term. She'll be socially liberal, more conservative towards economy, and possibly a hawk in terms of Middle East. Basically Obama 2.0 She will not nominate SC Justices who will send us backwards. Again, worst case she nominates moderate judges who won't ruffle feathers.
Best case she ditches her tendencies and jumps on some of the more leftist policies being thrown out by Bernie (and others) as she needs that base to get behind her and reward that vote.
What is the best case for Trump? That he surrounds himself with brilliant minds in his cabinet (and note that he's talked about having Sarah Palin in his cabinet), and delegates the work (though he'd still take credit for it all). When it comes to world affairs, possible war or military action, he defaults to the generals to make the best decisions versus acting out of his own ego/feelings. Things keep churning as normal.

Now what's the worst case scenario and are we willing to risk that?
Another civilized protest yesterday, this time in San Jose.
Also, does anyone thing he's really going to get 35% of the Latino vote?
I think he can match Romneys 27% share. Possibly do better. Immigration is not the top priority among all Latino voters. I have met Latino voters who are resentful of illegal immigrants for receiving government benefits, while they work their butts off and pay taxes. The economy is still the number one issue in the election.

If the economy is the number one issue, then why isn't Trump talking about real solutions to improve it?

Consider the fact that we only added 38,000 jobs in the recent report, goes to show the current conventional thinking is not working.
As for specifics, Trump's plan to lower the corporate tax rate to 15% would be a game changer. It would be a shot of adrenaline to current US business and encourage them to keep their interests stateside. It would the US a desirable location for foreign companies to set up shop. You may argue it's a trickle down fantasy, but it's Trump's outside-the-box business sense that people find attractive. If you loosen the chains on business you will get more job growth, break out of the wage stagnation the middle class has been stuck in for the past fifteen years.
Initially you might see a net loss in tax revenue going to the government coffers, but that will turn around quickly as business expansion blossoms. In the end the average American looks at their bi-weekly paycheck as what really matters when asked about the Economy. If Trump can deftly articulate a string of pearls as to how the change in corporate tax rate will result in bigger pay checks he will find success across the entire spectrum of voters.

The fact that you think that numbers in one job report (which have not been consistent with prior months, so were unexpected) "goes to show" anything just tells us that you're not looking at economic fundamentals but parroting a talking point of the week.
