>> Do you think he'd support Trump or be a '#nevertrump'er? TRY to be honest!

I have no idea. A lot has changed since he died.

I'd be a "never trumper" if we had someone else who could free the existing government. But Trump is what had to be done. It isn't pretty, and it may fail, but he gave the country a chance to dig out.

He bears some blame but if you believe a non-politician is necessary to solve the nation's problems, then it is going to be ugly, no matter who it is.

The reality is Bill Gates could be president in a NY minute. But he doesn't want it. It takes a Trump to do it. You are going to have to tolerate non-politician behavior if you want a non-politician, and I do.

I would, going forward, vote against ANY politician for president. I would ALWAYS choose a trump-like figure over a Clinton or Obama.

Democrat, Republican, I don't care. But non-politician, absolutely.

Just look at Clinton's and Obama's and Pelosi's and Feinstein's financial positions since they became politicians. Something wrong with that picture.
