He is a megalomaniac seeking power to further a whacko religious agenda of profoundly dangerous implications.
Couple him with the rising hysteria and rightward lurch of some many in the wake of the Syrian refugee crisis, ISIS and the Paris bombings and you have a massively disturbing toxic mix that an ideologue with delusions of grandeur has absolutely no business being involved in let alone deciding the outcomes.

I am disturbed by all of the Hitler/Nazi comparisons we have seen and heard recently...but this guy would be worse than that. This is a guy who would unleash nuclear weapons and actually use them to "resolve" disputes. He would round up people and put dissenters in camps as "subversives" without so much as a second thought. He is a dominionist and believes it is divine providence that propels him forward and that kind of madness has no place in power. He is a potential world killer (by direct and indirect actions and non-actions...).

He would be militarily foolish, ecologically absent and overall disasterous to all life on this planet and everyone should be concerned about his rising stature in the polls.

This man must NEVER become President of the United States of America. Period.
