I'm not exactly conservative but I fear if a democrat like Hilary ever got into office this country would cater to foreign oil money and American's would turn into second class citizens... if we haven't already... just my two cents...

Can Trump last all four years? Maybe not. It might just be inevitable that a few skeletons will emerge from the closet of a guy with so many really shady business deals and contacts over the decades that he can never dare to let the American people see his taxes (and who he does business with, who he owes money to, and how he personally will profit some the policies he proposes)
It might also be impossible for the Donald to avoid the conflicts of interest that will emerge because he has not separated out his family business interests from his government job. And the ties are getting more obvious each time he gives a family member a role in the administration.
Third, it really does look like there might be something to connections between the Russians and his campaign. Needs to be fully investigated. Who knows how far and deep this will go. Doesn't help that Trump acts as if Russian interference in the election is no big deal.
Finally, you say that a democrat will "cater to foreign oil interests?" You mean like the Exxon guy who is Trump's Sec of State who wants to undo sanctions and allow Russian oligarchs to siphon off billions? Is it better to cater to domestic fossil fuel interests and relax virtually ALL environmental regulations on them? Coal miners? Really? That's where our energy future lies?
And turning the American middle-class into second class citizens? Pay attention. The Wall Street billionaire-guys he appointed to his cabinet and their plans for taxes, healthcare, Social Security and the economy are not exactly designed to benefit us. It is really clear they want to make life much much better for the themselves at the expense of the rest of us. I'm afraid a con man made the American people a bunch of promises that he knew he could never keep. It put some very selfish people in power. The Trump billionaire guys learned their corruption lesson well from the Russian oligarches. And don't you dare respond by telling me about the Clinton corruption. Please, that is such small potatoes compared to what Wall Street, Trump, and the fossil fuel guys have planned.
