Trump is honestly a whole new beast . I do not like the policies put forth by republicans , that much is true . I feel that the ideas that they have for the future of the country are bad for the majority of americans and are deeply flawed by design . I think honestly that all of the above listed candidates would be poor leaders , and I generally think they are idiots . That said , I do not think that the policies that they enact would damage the american way of life , and that they have a general disregard for whole swaths of the populace . People have said things about all three of them , however I don ' t think anyone realized just how much worse it could be . We are transitioning from subpar policies to actual damage to the fabric of the country .
