Donald Trump. If you’re still sold on him after the past 18 months, go ahead and vote for him. There’s probably no talking you out of it. But our advice would be to also vote for a Democrat Senate candidate just in case Trump doesn’t work out so well. He has no political experience whatsoever and has sold himself as unpredictable. We’ve also just flat out never had a President like Trump. EVER. There’s no precedent here, so even the most astute political historians have no idea what to expect.

With a Democratic Senate Majority in place, we would have a guardrail to stop him if he goes way off the tracks. We’ve seen how effective a Senate can be at slowing down a President during the Obama administration. The current Senate also has a pathetic approval rating, so many Republicans (and some Democrats as well) probably deserve to be voted out anyway. Trump’s thing is drain the swamp, right? This fits what he is calling for.

It just makes sense not to give Trump virtually unlimited power right away. This especially makes sense in MO, PA, NH, NC, IL, WI and FL. All of those states have incumbent Republican Senators who are part of the establishment. If you live in Columbia, MO and want to vote for Trump, also vote for Jason Kander. If you are a Pittsburgh, PA native on the Trump train, check your ballot for Katie McGinty. And so on.

And, yes, we are in the #ImWithHer camp. But this is reasonable thinking here. We’re not telling you to vote for Hillary Clinton, or not to vote Trump at this point. All we’re saying is that with such a wild-card candidate, it might be smart to hedge your bet. He could end up being a great President if elected. He could also be a disaster who starts military conflicts over Twitter feuds. It’s just like putting a safety on a shotgun so nobody accidentally gets hurt. The weapon is still strong when fired, it just won’t go off unintentionally.
