Nah, a trump presidency would be bonkers. Idk in what way, but he gives off an extremely arrogant vibe. Not in the bad way that Bush gives off...I mean in a "im gonna do what I want, and that's that" sort of way. He'll create enormous change...in some direction. Like, I can see him taking over businesses like presidents did in the past. I can see him doing showy things abroad to flex strength... a "big stick" sort of feel. Idk. He seems like someone that's gonna go cray and do things like this tho.

I don't think cruz will go crazy. He's got different views, but I see him welding executive power conservatively...whereas Trump is gonna push the boundaries of what he can do all the way to the line and beyond until congress forces him to stop.

Agree that sanders would be a huge change as well tho.

Which is exactly what needs to happen, starting with doing everything he can to dismantle the complete and total fucking sham that Obamacare is.

overall i think he would push more in the direction than most others for some conservative issues (maybe obamacare is one, but honestly trump likes subsidies and regulatory power, so he might not be that reformative here), while entrenching some non-conservative positions that everybody will claim they didn't see coming from what should be an obvious populist leftist.

trump has much more in common with european socialist leftism than people think. it's mostly because anti-immigration has become a right-wing issue of recent (even though it traditionally isn't). trump loves his authoritarianism, special interest favors, and sjw tactics. sometimes i wonder if you really do support him or if you're just trolling, given that those are three things you have either explicitly or implicitly condemned to some degree.

+1 for authoritarianism
+1 for special interest favors

He's obviously not using SJW tactics though. He's really the antithesis of everything SJW-related both irl and in campaigning.
