1. Do you think we would have been better off right now with Hillary, and why?
2. Would you have preferred Jeb Bush? Keep in mind Trump was a Democrat for over 50 years. He is Left of Bill Clinton on issues like tariffs, and NAFTA.
Thank you. Please give me your honest thoughtful reply.

I think in terms of foreign policy I would have preferred Hillary. I think Trump has isolated us from some of our allies and leaving the Paris Accords was a pretty big mistake in my book.
In terms of Domestic policy, I don't think there would've been much of a difference. I don't really have a strong opinion on the Trump tax plan and I don't really mind a border wall as long as it's done correctly and cost-efficiently (remains to be seen).
In terms of behavior/presidential temperament, I wish he would be a bit more professional in some of his tweets and the way he talks about certain political institutions, but in the end I don't think it's going to make too much of an impact.
Yes, we would have been better off with Hillary, but it has nothing to do with policies necessarily. Trump has damaged our standing in the world and our relationships with allies as well as befriending our enemies and dictators. he has made us less safe in hundreds of ways.
