As a centrist, I don't believe there is anybody on the Democratic side who will ever ever fight for me.

What is it that you think Trump will "fight for you" better than the Democrats?

Preserve Social Security and Medicare benefits that we have been paying into all our lives? Nope.

Protect the environment, so we have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, less crap in our environs, more places where we can "get away from it all" (or at least a lot of it)? Nope.

Preserve the world order, so the US remains the clear number one world power? Nope.

Avoid nuclear war? Nope.

Preserve freedom of speech, the media, due process of law for everyone? Nope.

Preserve the checks and balances that have helped make our country great? Nope.

Put a value on human decency? Nope.

Transition to sustainable energy sources and practices so future generations will have a more inhabitable planet? Nope.

Not coddle up to corrupt dictators? Nope.

What is it you want him to fight for? (And think he will--I see him as only fighting for himself.)
