5. Trump Doesn’t Pose a Real Threat to Clinton
While it’s always fun to speculate about what a Trump presidency might be like to live under, it’s not a very realistic scenario to envision. Whether you are the conspiracy theorist type who believes this was all staged to help Hillary win, or even if you’re a more sensible, straightforward news analyst with only the verifiable facts to work with, the verdict is more or less the same: Trump will not win this presidency. He’s far too out-of-sync with the young people of this country (who will get out and vote to make this fact known), he’s far too inexperienced for more veteran voters with sense to truly consider him, and he’s far too controversial to get enough big name celebrity support for cultural embracement purposes. All in all, the Trump campaign proves two main points: the GOP is finally dead, and there is still enough ignorance, fear, and bigotry in this country to keep a sideshow like Trump afloat for an election cycle. There will not be enough to carry him all the way to the White House, however – polls are already showing a significant drop in his support now that the election is drawing closer and the fun and games are nearly over.
Taking all of this into account, the conclusion is simple: voting for the candidate who will absolutely lose to Clinton, when a third option indeed exists who not only takes votes from both candidates equally in polling, but could also very well make the main debate stage, is unwise if one is anti-Clinton.
