[Voters] can go in there and, even though you're not necessarily in favor of Trump and you don't like him that much and you know he's a little crazy, you also know he's going to blow up the system, the system that took your job and house away from you. You get to get back at the system now and blow it up and this is the only day you can do it legally.

The money to fund great things and innovations and programs is gone in our lifetime; it's all gone to debt.
