While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.

Wonderful strong ale with raisins, vanilla and a lovely sweet finish. 2x 20 oz, second in the hot tub at 24 degrees outside, and I was in a good place.
Some lead angle is very helpful.
Will you act only using the specific powers written in the constitution and the Bill of Rights especially this:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
The federal government has no implied powers whatsoever. If it isn't written clearly as a power to the US then it isn't a federal power and is not allowed unless the states and the people overtly change the constitution with an amendment.
Virtually every government agency created in the past 103 years is unconstitutional (except those created by amendment.).
All those policies that the idiot candidates use to confuse voters are not relevant because all those policies are unconstitutional.
None of the GOP or Dem candidates will keep the oath of constitutionality. None.
Not one is worthy to be president.
2nd amendment was to keep us able to defeat our own government if it came to it.
A southern wall is like closing the door after the cows have left. Issue guest worker permits and cancel welfare for illegals and the problem goes away. The Iran deal is stupid, as is all of Obama's foreign policy actions. He is an idiot. Trump will be much better and will stick up for OUR interests for a change. As long as religion is kept OUT of government, I am in favor of letting people believe what they want.
There are some major issues, mostly relating to the financial running of the country. I think Trumps business background will help there. Also, he tells us when the emperor has no clothes, which is sorely needed. Hillary will just hide what she does. Trump already tells you what he thinks and I say its already sparked a lot of thinking.
Consider that he needs to get elected so he puts out statements designed to get him free publicity. If you think about what he says about immigration and terrorism and foreign relations, its not so bad. When it comes right down to it I trust he will be a lot more reasonable in actual negotiations in order to get things through our government. After all, he is a candidate now, and not privy to all the information that the "insiders" get.
But let us consider the true differences between Hillary/Sanders and "The Donald".
Same:
They both support abortion.
They both support gay marriage.
They both support Kelo v New London (eminent domain).
They both don't have any problem sticking investors with the bill - Trump through his bankruptcies and Hillary/Bernie through government spending.
Both pretend a false connection to religion.
Tax policies: both favor high taxes
Obamacare: Trump was for it before it passed. He's only changed his mind since becoming a candidate.
Different:
Second Amendment. Trump would let you keep your guns.
Immigration. Trump wants to build a wall on the Southern Border. He also wants to stop un-vetted immigration.
The Iran Deal: Trump is against it.
Foreign Policy: Trump says he knows how to turn down a bad deal. All Hillary can make is bad deals.
Religious liberty: Trump says he'll preserve religious liberty. Hillary/Sanders have no such interests.
Unknowns/Questions:
Policy on Middle East: Trump has alluded to the notion of seizing the oil from ISIS.
Putin: Trump says he'll stand up to Putin. Hillary/Obama certainly haven't.
I'm looking, and really not seeing all that much difference between Hillary/Sanders and Trump on some major issues. Trump talks big and he's an outsider, but his policy statements are pretty tough to swallow given his actions.

I do agree, America needs better than Obama
and better than Bush
and better than Clinton
and better than Bush
and better than Reagan
and better than Carter
and better than Ford
and better than Nixon
and better than Johnson
and better than Kennedy
and better than Eisenhower
and better than Truman
and better than Roosevelt
and better than Hoover
and better than Coolidge
and better than Harding
and better than Wilson
We desperately need a Thomas Jefferson.
Neither party today would let a Jefferson join, much less run.
Trump tosses out his views in a bombastic way in my opinion to get free notoriety, but when you think about what he actually says a few weeks later, its not so bad. Who wants muslims around if you cant tell the difference between the violent ones and the sane ones? Figure that out before you let in thousands of syrian muslims that WE have to pay for.
Getting respect from foreign countries requires strength. He already got respect from Putin, which is more than Obama can claim.
None of the presidential candidates who are actually electable are perfect by any means. A perfect one would never get elected in this day and age.
