Clinton presidency

Insiders are now reporting that big time Republican supporters are backing Clinton. She is seen by them as the pro-business candidate. Will this mean that Sanders supporters will vote for Trump. If the middle and lower income people vote will they turn away from the establishment and line up behind Trump. This has got to be the most interesting presidential campaign of my lifetime. Clinton is now viewed as stronger on defense and cozier with Wall Street than Trump. Trump is also moving the Republican Party away from its standard positions on social issues such as abortion and gay rights. Many people who have always voted for a particular party now find themselves in a dilemma. The black vote is the only block that seems to be carved in stone. The young are turning away from Clinton and even women are showing some hesitancy in lining up behind Clinton. Clinton will likely win the presidency but both parties will have been changed in important ways and I see this as a good thing. It appears that Clinton may be a third Bush term as opposed to a third Obama term but either way it means an expansion of the federal government.
