From his raised platform at the convention, Donald J. Trump made some things perfectly clear. Unfortunately, it was not what he plans on actually doing as president, even on security, which he pushed to a Lord of the Rings level of dark horror and dire importance. Big on promises, short on specifics. “Trust me.”

Trump
s speech was and has been typically vague, as has been most presidential candidates. The more specific, the more for opponents to attack. I suppose we might say “Better the devil we know than the devil we don’t”. But we know Hellery, and in her case ’tis better the devil we don’t know.
