There's other countries a little apprehensive about Trump as well

So you expect me to name specific policies that Trump will implement to benefit everyone, when you won't do same thing for other candidates an even suggest not voting at all, when I already answered by saying that people are simply fed up with the establishment and see Trump as the alternative who is not going to play by their rules.
I think this view is more intelligent than not voting or voting for the same formula of which we know it doesn't benefit anybody, by now.

I'm not voting for any of the dickweeds so I'm right there with you all.
You think so? Fair enough. Let's explore that possibility. So outline for me a logical reason to vote for Donald Trump, going over his policies and why they would improve the conditions in this country for everyone and not just a select race of people. Please go into logical detail about how x policy from Trump will lead to y beneficial results for everyone.
You haven't given me any reasons with any actual substance yet. Just rhetoric and insults.
I don't vote for someone based on empty rhetoric. I vote for them because they have sound policies that I agree with.

Like I said, this is your straw man argument that you want me the answer, but I never refered to specific policies making him an intelligent choice.
It is stupid to vote for the same formula and expect things to change for the better, so picking Trump as the alternative is smarter than voting for the same old same old or not voting at all.
Simple as that.
All I see you hold against Trump is rethoric and insults.

Well this thread is about Donald Trump, not those other candidates. Also, people being fed up with the establishment doesn't automatically make Trump a viable candidate worth voting for. There isn't a logical connection there. And yes, I do expect you to name specific policies. I don't vote for someone based on empty rhetoric. I vote for them because they have sound policies that I agree with.
Why? You haven't given me any reasons with any actual substance yet. Just rhetoric and insults.
A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent.
no matter how much Republicans say they care about infrastructure, they’re not going to accept any infrastructure proposals that come from President Barack Obama. They opposed his $50 billion “roads, rails and runways” proposal in 2010, and then again when it was expanded and incorporated into his American Jobs Act in 2011. They’ve blocked Obama’s plans for an infrastructure bank and a national high-speed rail network. They’ve also blocked Obama’s proposals for corporate tax reform, which is relevant, because the new GROW AMERICA Act depends on tax reform for much of its financing.
Legislators in Mexico City are asking the federal government to ban Donald Trump from entering the country, citing the GOP presidential hopeful’s repeated anti-Mexican comments.

Given that Trump was describing illegal Mexican immigrants in that manner (he also said some of them are probably good people), and not Mexicans as a whole, we can easily see the sentiment is generated by the very same left-wing propaganda that many have fallen for in the UK and state-side.

This is exactly what you did, since I never made an argument refering to specific Trump policies that would benefit everyone.
