The biggest issue to me is the never-ending escalation of conflict with the Russians. It's the most potentially dangerous scenario on the table.

Listening to the sabre-rattling through the Republican debates, the lesser candidates tried to outdo each other in promising to decree US-imposed no-fly zones against the Russians in Syria. Exactly how do you enforce that without missiles intended to kill Russian pilots? And where does that lead? Where is the legitimacy of that conduct when every US operation is a violation of Syrian sovereignty?

There is very little to inspire much admiration for Trump, but he seems to possess one skill set that may be the most valuable for an American president: He does seem to have the ability to stand strong and he seems likely to negotiate favorable outcomes that avoid war and can build alliances in place of conflict. Audacity and testicularity. The thought of Rubio, for example, trying to hold his own with Putin, makes me want to cringe, just as I did when I saw the video following Putin's meeting with Obama.

Trump comes with a huge parcel of baggage and that makes it very hard for a reasonable person to support him without lots of qualifications, and I'm not prepared to do so. I can only observe that the American system limits the power of any president through checks and balances from the exclusive powers of Congress and the Courts and I suspect that many of Trump's more outrageous proposals are dead on arrival because of the broad American values expressed in Congress and the protections of the Bill of Rights enforced by the courts.

One thing I'm sure of: A president who's profited for many years with adult fare on pay per view in his hotel rooms is quite unlikely to suddenly develop moral scruples leading to DOJ action against the adult industry. I suspect that the adult industry is far more likely to be harmed by a leftist administration - set to discover the outer limits of worker and workplace safety - than any Republican administration.
