It is not just about which figure head wins the presidency... The reality is that american politics has been degenerating for years now...the two party system is corrupt on both sides and essentially functions as a one party system with the illusion of democratic choice as the BIG LIE...look at the former Soviet Union...see how their idealism was a sham cover for establishing a kleptocracy governed by the worst possible actors, a kakocracy...the type of political method has been perfected, with population being deceived by ideologies of equality, brotherhood of man, socialism, class hatred, worker's rule and paradise, and democratic centralism...but all these ideals are just stalking horses for thugs and theives to coop agencies of authority, gain power and control....then proceed with the looting of the nation while maintaining a fear and violence based political structure...this is the goal....the Bush, Obama, Clinton, and now Trump team are just the softer public face of a kleptocratic machine advancing forwardly into an increasingly corrupt future....

If these two areas are indeed your primary concerns...then you are most fortunate.

The problem, of course, is that these "individual Gov. depts." are corrupt THEMSELVES...and can't be trusted to properly enforce their own laws.

Another big problem is administrative agencies jealously guarding their own turf. Career bureaucrats often don't much care who is at the top, they only care about keeping (and increasing) their budget and their authority, and will lie and cheat to keep the status quo.

They are among the primary concerns of all Americans who believe in the preservation of the Constitution and the protection of our borders and culture.

What is American culture and why does it need protecting?

American culture is clinging to guns and religion. It needs protecting because progressives want to turn the whole country into one great big safe space where we can all live happily ever after.

Those are the two fundamental issues.
All other will depend on how they play out.
Those two will determine if the nation remains sovereign or follows the downhill path of Europe, into the abyss. We are perilously close to the edge now.
