Has Trump Gone Too Far?

Many of my Republican friends are starting to share that sentiment as well. They sure as hell don't want another Clinton in the White House, and they are smart enough to know that not only is Trump not a conservative, but he actually much more liberal than Hillary is. 

The choice actually blows, but someone has to win. Although I'll probably cringe when casting the vote, I will be voting Hillary. As shady as she is, and as much baggage as she will bring with her...at least she's not a complete joke of a candidate who has zero experience in in the world of politics. 

I tend to agree with those who say Hillary will be much of what a third Obama term would have been like, with the possible exception of being a little more progressive. Especially if she holds true to the Sanders' policies she claims to have adopted. My biggest concern with her is the regime change tendencies she has shown, especially with what happened in Libya and the current Syrian situation. There's probably a Nobel Peace prize out there for whomever creates a way to quell the Middle Eastern dumpster fire without creating more enemies than we can keep up with ....

The Trump phenomenon is one of life's great mysteries to me, with him being obnoxious, misogynistic, and champion of hatred in general since the day he occurred on the 'scene'. The support that he has garnered to this point concerns me as much as anything.
