vote for or advocate voting for the fascist demagogue Trump combined with a message as to why people should vote for Trump? I'm certainly not going to listen to that drivel, any chance at a summary?

the ethnic and other-ing components of fascism. We have plenty of examples in history, including our own disgusting and shameful past, to warn us of the dangers of supporting Trump in any capacity or for any reason.

His counterpart in this election is Hillary, who is employing the economic components of fascism (on a global level). It's hard to call her a fascist with respect to the US specifically, since her economics and identity politics are not integrated into a nationalist flavor, but the elements are there. If her political species isn't fascism, she certainly is in the same family that fascists are in.

In any case Hillary's policies enable Trump's, and vice versa. They're political symbiotes, and neither of them ought to be considered fit to serve in public service. Their candidacies represent a lurch toward some kind of neo-fascism that I want no part of.

for the Trumpster before ever voting for Her Highness. But i plan on voting for Jill.

They pick Trump, and we pick Bernie. Making Hillary lose is the only reason I can think of to vote for Trump.

As odious as Trump is, as narcissistic as Trump is, as unfocused at Trump is, and as racist-xenophobic as many of his followers are--I am thinking the unthinkable. Voting Trump.

Unless by some miracle the "Justice" system in the US can revive itself, and indict Hillary, she will be our party's nominee (or should I say, my-soon-to-be-exparty. My observations, for what they're worth is that the Left is learning from Brexit--DemExit being only one manifestation.

Branstetter said we don’t need as many manufacturing workers as we did a few decades ago, due to dramatic technological improvements. Second, a president needs congressional approval to levy tariffs on imports or amend trade deals.

.

We don't need as many manufacturing jobs as we used to. Consider the fact that much, if not most US steel production has diminished, not because of increased productivity (which is true) but because cheap labor countries have taken our jobs away. Where China et. al. may lack the enhanced productivity (and I am not saying that they aren't as productive as the US steel industry), it certainly circumvents that problem by massive employment of lesser productive workers.

The other point is Branstetter's comment is that the president needs legislative support to approve tariffs and amend trade deals. My feeling, is that once the Republicans can elect someone as terrible as Donald Trump, provided he has large "coat-tails" many may be lured into the semi-progressive stance of Trump on TPP and war-mongering. Remember, you don't have to say we need a war to "justify" our horrendous Military budget (50% of GDP). All we need are the talking heads, including Trump, that "we must be strong" to continue this continuing arms build-up. As long as they get their loot, military contractors really don't care if any shooting or bombing occurs.

ISDS is a sell-out of US sovereignty to the corporatist international oligarchy. This clause has claws. Panels of unelected corporate stooges will have veto powers, unappealable, over much of our here-to-fore laws and regulations.

Do I trust Trump? Not much--but I do trust his desire for a less militant military attitude and I do trust his animosity to trade deals that further weaken this country.

Do I trust Hillary? ABSOLUTELY. She will renege on any so-called progressive promises. She will do the bidding of 1%ers, just like herself. She will have no compunction about screwing over the little people (that's us)--and she won't give that a second thought.

Lesser of two evils? She is the greater of two evils. I would rather have a narcissist in power than a murdering psychopath.
