7. For the moneyed, elite class, Trump is a loose cannon.

They don't want any sort of drastic change. They depend on the status quo being maintained. Trump seriously threatens that stability, while Hillary Clinton is unlikely to do anything drastic that threatens their livelihoods.

It's that simple. For the rest of us, Trump also represents the same sort of loose cannon, but with worse consequences. Hillary will, as she said, continue to improve what progress we have achieved, but will not suddenly make changes with unpredictable consequences.

In every area, she represents steadiness and progressive change. Trump represents total ignorance of causes and effects. That should panic both ends of the economic spectrum. Down the path he will follow lies chaos. Chaos is never good for anyone, really.

And that's where it is in 2016. You either choose some stability and some progress, or you choose chaos.
