THE FALL OF THE UNITED STATES - Trump vs. Clinton

Opinion by Martin

Obama was never my choice for President.  I always thought he was at least a European-style Socialist or an out and out Communist. 
Today we have a clear choice for the next President,  a woman who is leaning so far Left that the political platform of the Communist Party, USA almost appears Centrist and a businessman who has a checkered past as far a corporate bankruptcies and a fairly thin skin as far as response when people attack his past.

Hillary Clinton has never met a lie that she could not tell from when she worked on the Congressional committee investigating the Watergate Break-in (She wanted to deny Nixon due process) right down to the personal server scandal.  She has a record that spans nearly 50 years.  She has been the First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the United States, United States Senator from New York, Secretary of State and a “victim” of abuse by the Republican Party. 
Hillary has a record and most of it is rather poor.  She never wrote a bill in the Senate that went forward, she ran the “Bill Clinton Protection Unit” that bad-mouthed and attacked anyone who complained about Bill’s sexual activities, she ignored requests for assistance from Libya and four Americans died in Benghazi including the first U.S. Ambassador murdered since the 1970s.  Hillary also had a personal server that was used for government business, was not secure and apparently hacked by numerous people including by Russians, Chinese, and a Romanian civilian who did it “because he was able to”.

Donald Trump, on the other hand, has a different kind of record.  He started out with a “loan” of a million dollars from his father and went on to create an empire in Real Estate in New York and expanded to other states including Florida.  Trump’s career has had its ups and downs with several corporate bankruptcies although there has never been a personal collapse.  He is reputed to be worth several billion dollars at this time.
It is known that he has had several wives and numerous affairs.  We know that he has a group of employees that think very highly of him and obviously some that don’t.  I am certain that his opponents both admire and despise him.  We know that he has been good at negotiating business deals but will he have success on an international scale? 

Trump has said that he will build a wall across the Southern Border with Mexico and that Mexico would pay for it.  He said that he would bring jobs back to the United States and enforce the laws against illegal aliens.  He has also stated that he would rebuild the military and make it stronger than before, but we have to wonder where the money is coming from since Obama and a compliant Congress has spent more money than several future generations will ever be able to pay down.
Trump has no experience actually being a politician but appears to be a fast learner and has said that he will ask knowledgeable people to accept positions in his administration and has posted a list of judges he would consider for appointment to the Supreme Court if elected.  I don’t know if he would listen to his cabinet or ignore their advice.  Will he work with Congress in order to rebuild the US economy or use his “pen and phone” to carry out his agenda as did his predecessor.

We have a decision to make in November.  We can elect a Left-leaning woman or a questionable businessman.  If you vote for the Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson, you are just throwing away your vote because he has absolutely no chance to win the Presidency because the Libertarians are not even close to main stream and their platform is an absolute disaster.
We have a decision to make in November.  We can vote for the continued destruction of our Nation or we can vote for the possible step back from the precipice and maybe save our Country from becoming a Third World Nation.

The decision is up to each of us, you and me, to make a choice – a Nation ruled by Laws set forth in the Constitution or we can have a Balkanized collection of little “city states” spread out across what used to be a great Nation.
