At this point the difference between the nominees will be of the shape of their victories and matters of personal health, including mental health. Anyone over 70 is at some risk for senile dementia, and we may see that already in Donald Trump. We saw it in Reagan, but at the least Reagan had some good people (if in political skill if not political decency) to cover for him. Trump completely lacks that. Nobody can tell him to at least let someone read through his sophomoric tweets -- and I am certain that Barack Obama had someone look over any press release before he released it.
Liberals will vote for whatever satisfies their ideology (really humanism). They could vote for Clinton even if he was not from their part of the country, and they rejected Trump even if he was from their part of the country. Obama shows clearly that ethnicity does not matter. America is ready to vote for whoever will fully repudiate the disaster that is now President.
The decision that I will make will be upon who will be an effective President in the wake of Trump. I have about a year in which to make my decision. I definitely want someone with Reagan-like political skills and an Eisenhower-like temperament. Sorry, the pesky 22nd Amendment denies Obama. Four years of Trump is four years too many.
