Just pullin' your leg, Raj. Has the smoke cleared out of the Tahoe basin?

It's a bit better today, still cannot see the mountains (Heavenly ski resort) clearly. But no headache or stuffiness.

4. He's for torture: waterboarding and worse.
5. He has come out for changing the rules on press freedom, so that reporters he dies not like can be sued for 'libel.'
6. He is known to cheat at business, and his Trump university was an obvious fraud that exploited vulnerable students.
7. He scapegoats minorities, stiring-up racial hatred.
8. He keeps saying stupid shit about a big wall, with a straight face.
9. He has publicly stated he may not defend NATO countries if invaded by Putin or anyone else.
10. He will appoint flaming assholes to the Supreme Court
11. he will sign whatever crazy bills the Republican congress sends him.

He basically has no judgement, no sense of right and wrong, no respect for the rights of others, no interest except his own aggrandizement. He is authoritarian in sentiment. He cannot be trusted to respect the Bill of Rights or the constitutional separation of powers. He has the authoritarian attraction to force to solve problems. It would be ridiculously dangerous to elect this man president.

The worst conceivable 'Hillary problems' are not a tiny fraction as threatening as Trump. With Trump, the risks are existential.

Very well stated.
