One can actually argue in favor of Donald Trump. Donald Trump has spent his life building things. Conceiving of projects marshaling the money, manpower, and design elements, battling the tremendous amount of regulatory burden and actually creating buildings that made a profit. He has gotten real things done in a real world. His accomplishments are not based on passing legislation to create another government agency.

It hasn't always worked. And anyone who has watched how business works, that's normal. Not everything succeeds. Only politicians pretend that everything they have passed works. He has had to face failure and deal with it. Perhaps when the banking meltdown happened a Trump at the head would have made them deal with it instead of handing them money from the treasury.

He has worked the media for decades with "the Apprentice". He as become synonymous with understanding business in the eyes of many of the public. Trimming the monster of bureaucracy that consumes ever more of our resources will take someone who can influence public opinion because the firestorm of special interests will come down upon him.

If you read the story of Wollman Rink there is a glimmer of hope of someone who can actually accomplish things.

Now, he is not an Objectivist, he speaks for less government, but probably wants a bigger government than we all want. But, he could well be a step in the right direction -- and have a strong enough will to actually make that step.

The author is right at least about one thing- we "vote" every day for the better of alternatives, in product purchases, food choices, and in politics.

Choosing the least bad computer, if you need to have a computer is not a bad thing. None of the computers I have ever bought is my perfect choice- PCs are cheaper, but difficult to work. Macs are a lot more expensive, but easier to work. So we make choices and pick the best for our needs. For me, I dont have the time to learn all the PC complexities and fix them when they break. I pick Macs.

In this election, there are no perfectly free-market choices. Not even Johnson. On the scale of perfection, its probably Johnson, Trump, and I would have to put Hillary at the bottom along with the green party candidate.

Hillary is just plain evil and a cancer to our society, in ways we wouldnt even have known for sure except for Wikileaks. Once in power, she would strangle our country with more regulations, more taxes, and increasing class warfare. Its a mess now with Obamacare, and would just get worse with Hillarycare.

Trump isnt a libertarian 100% by any means. That said, he is definitely anti-cronyism. His "drain the swamp" is right on. He will say what needs to be said without fear of being politically correct. I would hope that once elected, he would see to it that Assange and Snowden were freed of charges so they could resume whistleblowing (which we need).

He will stand in the way of Obamacare for sure.

And, at least for me, he will inspire ME and hopefully a lot of others to make America Great by making myself great through innovation and hard work. The president cant make America Great Again; but only get government OUT OF THE WAY and let us make America Great Again.

I think that Mr. Hunter has expressed the opinion of many who do their own thinking.

Bookmarked. Thank you. Beyond the article linked, I think that there are a number of affirmative reasons to vote for Donald Trump and have matched action to words already.

I hope others will too.

From the article: "The Clinton regime laughs at expressive votes. It hopes you will go ahead and express yourself by voting for anyone except a person who would check the Clintons’ power." NOT TRUE!

“From President Obama to Bernie Sanders, Democrats are increasingly sounding the alarm on third-party candidates as polls show the Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein siphoning more support from Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump.”

He will not be a step in the right direction. He promises to repeal Obamacare and replace it. Replace it means we get the same pig with lipstick and are told that it is different. It will not be. It is not simply a matter of a choice about health care, it is understanding that the ACA is not about healthcare but raising taxes. When you look at the incredible increase in premiums, the enormous deductibles and the fact that the deductible applies each time you try to use the healthcare there is almost nothing it will pay for. With my old insurance my $65K heart surgery required a $150 deductible and took care of everything else. Under Obamacare the premium skyrocketed to $7500 from $1280 per year and would have covered only $2000 of the heart surgeons costs, everything else would have been mine to pay. When Donald promises to replace the ACA he is not stepping in the right direction, he is misdirecting those who think he is different.

I'll be voting for Johnson, but the case for preferring Trump to Clinton is very simple. The worst case scenario is an activist President (from either major party) with a compliant Congress. Trump is hated by the establishment of both parties, so he won't get much cooperation no matter who controls it. Clinton won't be too bad so long as there's a Republican Congress to keep her in check, but if she gets a Democratic majority it's Dubya all over again. Or LBJ.
