That's because we are rapidly moving away from an age where facts and reason and critical thinking mattered. Once you toss those pre-requisites for modern society onto the ash heap of history, it's certainly possible that a con man like Trump could prevail in taking us back into the dark ages.
That's what cultists do, they believe every word of their power hungry or deranged leader. Like what Jim Jones followers did with the cool-aid, sad but ironically funny.

WITHOUT BASHING OBAMA, can you intelligently explain, with specific details, exactly what you expect from Trump and how you think those changes will directly effect YOUR life? What policies do you expect him to implement that will make your life better. You can compare and contrast with current policies of course, but please give a well written answer as to what you expect from the next 4 years, and how those things would only happen with Trump as President.

Thanks.

AND TRUMP HATERS: Please don't use this thread to bash Trump. I am seriously interested in what Trump supporters expect the next 4 years.
i dont expect trump to do anything for me personally, i expect him to do for the country as a whole. i want him to start reducing government waste, and streamlining the things that government is supposed to do, and reduce the things best left to the states.

Now if you are looking for a landscaping, roofer or maid or nanny job, the reduction in illegal workers may help you.
duh. I know that. Illegals don't come here on any visa. 1/3rd of my employers IT department is on H1B visas though. Companies are going to have to start training Americans again when those people have their visas taken away.

Illegals live EVERYWHERE. Kicking millions of them out will alleviate massive pressure from the lower cost rental market, something that is pressed to the limits today and is contributing to Americas affordable rental crisis.

There are plenty of highly trained IT Americans already, especially age 50+ who cannot get a job because H1B immigrants are cheaper to employ.

There are a reported 12 million illegals in this country. If they live 4 to an apartment, that would free up 3 million units, hardly enough to ease the "affordable rental crisis," across the country.

The reason there are not more affordable rentals is that developers can make more money on expensive apartments/houses than they can on cheap ones.

And the valve for those cheap H1B visa immigrants is about to be shut off. American companies are going to have to learn to hire and train American workers again. And no, they aren't going to work for minimum wage.

Freeing up 3 million units is massive. That would help alleviate the lower end rental market massively, particularly in states like Florida and Texas, which used to be cheap, and are no longer so. Hillary proposed squat to address the rental crisis. Trumps plan will have definite, immediate results.

Americans can expect better jobs, and cheaper housing, purely because they will be competing for those things with fewer people after Trump deports the illegals and revokes the H1B visas.

I've answered this question previously in this post. Take your time to look and you will find it

Why is my age so important to you? I'll say this---I'm older than you, no doubt.

One thing I do know --- Now my grandkids will have a bright future ahead of them. Had Hillary won, we would have continued on the same ruinous path that started with Obama and eventually, there would be nothing left for them.

Lower crime rates. Lower tax? These two are pretty basic and necessary for good living.

They do not like to give us any information on themselves, at the same time; they will use anything and everything you say against you. Anything to side track the discussion. If they were honest; they would just tell us how much Soros is paying them or why they spend so many hours telling us that improving our Country will not work. People do not sit at the keyboard all day long just to hear themselves talk; somebody is paying the bills.
