> Drumpf will be like FDR: desperate to get something done and willing to try whatever it takes to do it but constrained by the law.

I'll avoid invoking Godwin's law, but that's a very dangerous thing to accept. I personally do not have any interest in voting for someone who does not believe in freedom of religion or speech. If elected, I genuinely fear for the continued legality of dissent.

His only saving grace is that he's probably going to be too ineffectual to get much done. That's what's terrifying about Clinton: she's overwhelmingly competent and completely amoral.

Something about Trump that is different: he changes his mind and, once he does, he doesn't waste time trying to justify his original stance! That alone sets him apart from most politicians. Now, just like FDR, he will be surrounded by lawyers and advisers who tell him "You can't do that!" and he'll argue with them and they'll (usually) come out on the right side of the law and when they don't the courts will correct them. Same as Obama.

"Clinton: she's overwhelmingly competent and completely amoral."

Well, the email investigation would tend NOT to paint her as "overwhelmingly competent" in technical, legal or political senses. Whitewater paints her as a competent and skilled lawyer and quite able to walk a fine line.

I agree she's "completely amoral".

I don't view "incompetent + amoral" as good qualities for a president.
