Now two terms later deja vu; another colorful candidate somewhere further to the right, with equally scant detail backing his promises is peddling a vague emotional message to an angry disappointed country.

This is not so much practical as it is voting on hope. Specifically hoping a a draft dodging ex democrat, with a thin skin, volatile temperament, and an ego the size of the Grand Canyon, has changed his stripes and will deliver on all of these huge promises.

Trump may turn out to be a great President, and for the sake of our republic I pray this is the case, our safety both domestic and abroad is in great peril, but based on the known unknowns and what Trump has displayed thus far voting Trump is as a hope filled Hail Mary as it goes.

QP Dusty summed up voting for Trump quite well.

Well......

Trump, like him or not, he does have experience dealing with people on a large scale and he runs an enterprise on a very large scale. That unto itself is a hell of a lot more than the child King ever had going for him.
