I am of mixed mind., There are many good things a Republican 
administration will probably do as long as he doesn't get involved.

And if it means the end of the 'progressive Liberal' social experiment, 
that's good too.

If that is allowed to fall, Europe is threatened. And Europe doesn't 
currently have the ability to churn out armaments at the scale needed by 
itself just yet.
