We have relied on Chinese and oil producing countries (Muslims) to finance our deficit for over a decade. Trump may alienate these lenders causing interest rates to rise, this will strengthen the dollar and cause exports to drop. Housing will also drop in value. Slower economy overall. If you’re a bear and don’t care about negative consequences vote Trump.

Party loyalty will cause many republicans to hold their noses and vote for Trump. There will be more turn out among low education Republicans for sure.

If foreigners sell our bonds and no longer buy them, that will not cause the dollar to strengthen. We will have to offer higher interest rates to attract them again.

Less international trade would be bad for the dollar as a reserve currency. That would mean less spending power for American consumers.

What’s sad is for republicans, if they don’t vote for trump now has Hillary as a choice instead…

For the Dems, if they hate Hillary, it’s Trump…

Who do they hate more?[/quote]I’d take Hillary any day of the week, including Sunday.

Here’s hoping a decent third party candidate emerges.

No not all Republicans will vote for Trump. I’d say as many as 1/3 won’t which gives the election to Hillary.

With most of us in Cali, luckily, neither our primary or general election is likely to matter in either case. Whomever has the Dem label will win 53/41. Republican are free to vote for anybody without really impacting the state result and up to 20% (10%) overall without risking the result.

I just hope the Cali voters are smart enough to find another candidate if HRC or Trump aren’t their preferred since it won’t impact the end results.

Starting tomorrow, the Donald needs to take 24-48 hours off and sleep. He’s been bleary-eyed for several days and lack of sleep is affecting his short and long-term memory and ability to answer questions without getting cranky. He’s hasn’t been near as sharp as he should have been in the last few days.

I wouldn’t want to have to show up in 3-6 cities in one day, pressed and coiffed, whether I was on a “campaign trail” or not. Private jet or no, Trump’s grueling life on the campaign trail is starting to get the better of him about now.

Hillary seems to be doing much better (health-wise) than Trump is right now so she is probably using her “downtime” to sleep instead of paying too much attention what the MSM is currently spouting off about her.

When political candidates have their own team of “social media experts” and “spokespeople” while on the campaign trail (espcially a few days before major primaries take place), they’re not supposed to be doing anything but sleeping, bathing, grooming and showing up in each locale bushy-tailed and bright-eyed enough to be able to walk it and talk it all day. Trump’s usually sharp self has been falling down on the job a bit lately, imho.
