And (even) a roaring economy (which we don't have) wouldn't be enough to make up for the corruption and the lack of character.

Dave Roberts wrote:One of my concerns about the economy is the question of the ability of younger people to gain wealth, especially in home values and in retirement accounts. Home prices in some markets have already put younger people outside the possibility of buying homes (unless their parents are able to help them). Also, with the numbers of stock buy-backs by major companies, the earnings of their retirement accounts are running quite low, and interest rate on even long-term investments are almost nil. It seems our economy favors those who are over fifty and works against younger people. As an example, the first home we purchased gained 300% in value from its purchase to its sale. Our present home, purchased in 2001, would sell for little more than what we paid. Also, we purchased CD's in the 70's through the 90's that paid 3.5 to 5% interest. Now 2% is considered amazing. We are not in an economy that allows working people and younger people to make gains.

How about honesty, morality, diligence, restoring out international reputation, and working for all the people (not just for Trump himself). "Save the planet” works with the young voters, thoughtful seniors and 97% of climate scientists.

Hey, try it. Wasn't a possibility for,either of,the Clintons.

Two decades past. Sounds like someone irked by eight years of a Democratic, African American president whose administration was scandal free.
Compared to a three-times married corrupt real estate mogul who claims more than a hundred affairs with married women, had affairs with at least two porn stars while his current wife was pregnant with his youngest son and tried to lie about the hush money they were paid, claimed his celebrity status allows him to grab women by their genitals and admits to having done that, owns gaming casinos and strip joints, and defrauded hundreds by charging tuition to a fake university, I wouldn't say its a possibility for Trump, either. But it is for every Democrat who's thrown their hat in the ring.
