At least with Trump we have a chance.
And if he's bad, we get a chance to run a real progressive against him in four years.
On the other hand if Hillary is elected we are also going to be stuck with her in 2020 because no matter how bad she is, it is virtually unheard of for a sitting President not to get their parties nomination if they run for reelection.
So that means 2024 is the next chance to run a true progressive, which Hillary is not.

That you don't believe that Trump is Wall Street only confirms you have been conned by the con man.
Hook, line, and sinker....
I'm not surprised.

No kidding. Trump himself is a multinational corporation, and one that has royally screwed everybody but himself, from investors to suppliers to employees, for decades. He represents the absolute worst in business ethics.

I'll take my chances. It's better than being a Clinton Kool-Aid drinker such as yourself.

Trump University, yeah, that's a scam, but no worse than hundreds, shit thousands of other scams out there. And it pales in comparison to the way Wall Street rips off Main Street on a daily basis. I feel that Trump is, quite frankly, being treated very unfairly and I think it's mostly because he's not a political insider.

Trump is the guy you don't buy a used car from. Trump is the guy you don't sign a mortgage with. Trump is the guy you don't go into partnership with. Trump is the guy you don't sign anything he puts in front of you. Trump is the guy you don't trust for anything anytime.
This is his track record, I don't see anything here that says, "what the hell, let's make him our President". There is no basis to think so, based on his history of self centered incompetence.

Worse than Bear Sterns, Goldman Sachs, Countrywide, Wachovia, Lehman brothers, Halliburton, etc. etc.?

That's nearly a good enough reason.

Debatable. However, the notion that Trump will do anything whatsoever to reel in Wall Street abuse is ridiculous. Hillary, despite her catering to Wall Street as a NY Senator, will at least be influenced by her party to do so and will likely retain or even strengthen Dodd-Frank and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau). Trump and a GOP Congress will kill these initiatives deader than Elvis.
