On immigrant rights, maybe you're right, maybe all Trump wants to do is secure the borders but he certainly hasn't done much to discourage the nasty parts of his base form thinking otherwise.
On abortion rights you're taking a massive gamble with a hard won and important right. If you're comfortable doing that in the name of marginal free speak then that's for you to decide. I'm not.
The perception of Obama abroad is pretty good still. I live in the UK so I can tell you that he's perceived as one of the few grown ups on the world political stage.
They both may be opposing TPP but only Trump was talking about putting a large tariff on Chinese steel. Irrespective of the issues with global trade, trade wars are definitely bad for everyone involved.
But in four years will you admit you're wrong if it doesn't turn out to be the case?
No. It will go on and on and on.
I feel I respond to all this fear mongering constantly:
> immigrant rights
Immigrants are better off with stronger borders. People don't have to suspect them of being illegal. Has that occurred to anyone on the left?
> womens rights?
Trump: I oppose the use of government funds to pay for abortion.
A supreme court judge may be an issue though, but it is unlikely to reverse policy.
> America's standing in the world
It is bad at the moment.
> free trade
Both candidates oppose TPP. Canada wants to talk about NAFTA. Free trade destroys local jobs.
