Honestly, you're putting waaaaay too much logic into these arguments. As I stated above, electing a President isn't about the sensible, but about the touchy-feely. And the pendulum swings. We had Dubya, who was a complete do nothing. Then we have Obama, who brought us back to some sort of solvency. Now we're ready for some smackdowns from our new Wrestling President: Trumpy the Hair Body Don.
Keep in mind all of those people who were just repeating all of Romney's phrases in 2012. Romney never said ANYTHING about what he was going to do, and he had a pretty great turnout. Trump is saying stuff. Stuff that people can repeat to each other at the water cooler.
You say he won't be able to answer hard questions as if it matters!
Running mates... Well, The Onion had a couple of amusing suggestions:
You absolutely want to know who I’d pick. A defeated GOP challenger who hates my guts? Another lunatic billionaire? Maybe my own son, Donald Trump Jr.? Whatever your wildest expectation is, I promise you I will surpass it.
The article is fun to read, if we were reading it from a different reality. The unfortunate thing is we aren't. But what if he runs out of steam the day after the election?
