If you want WWIII to start then vote for Marco Rubio or Hillary Clinton because they want forever war and to restart the Cold War with the Russians.
don't believe the fearmongering by the corporate elite about Trump, they are fighting against the only candidate that isn't bought and paid for. Somebody totally unaccountable to the ruling oligarchy of this country.
do worry by the way since Trump will win a LANDSLIDE against Hillary and thank god since she belongs in prison

The numbers aren't on your side. By the way, the Russians already started the Second Cold War, so catch up.
I don't think Trump CAN start WW III, even if he wanted to.
That's why we have a separation of powers: to prevent the President from making arbitrary decisions like that.
That's also why we have the Joints Chiefs of Staff.
I don't think Trump wants to start it, anyway. I think he wants to be a President, and to glory in the glamor of the office. I feel he would be a delegator of tasks, rather than the man to perform the tasks himself. He probably knows he is in over his head, so he'll be inspired to hire qualified people in Cabinet and other governmental posts. I feel Trump wants to live the high life, so WW III really wouldn't be in his best interest.
I don't like it that Trump has gone this far---but I don't believe his attaining the Presidency should necessarily cause fear. We have such a strong system of government that his potential excesses will be dealt with.

What numbers? The carefully selected ones that show what you want? Trump has led Hillary in plenty of polls, he will destroy her just as he destroyed Jeb Bush and it will be so much more uglier because Hillary has an entire graveyard in her closet.
Russia started it? We've never stopped our aggressive imperialist posture towards the rest of the world, Russia after it collapsed economically is reasserting itself on the world stage and that's "problematic" to this idea of worldwide American hegemony that neoconservatives seek. This is just ignorance of US foreign policy over the last 20-30 years, you can't let it be framed by the media.
Russia probably embarked on a radical change to capitalism too quickly after the demise of the Soviet Union.
A smoother transition would have worked better.
To reiterate: I'm not exactly thrilled with the idea of having Trump as our President. But having Trump as President will not kill us.
If he becomes President, the Congress, it seems to me, will assume much executive power. Either that, or some influential member of an important part of the Executive Branch will assume de facto power.

Yes, we have a system of government in place with checks and balances as well as a constitution. Now Barack Obama doesn't like that and has pushed it too the limit and maybe that precedent is what scares you about Trump but that's just the chickens coming home to roost.
Trump has had great successes in his life, he's built a great company, has a great family, he owes a lot to America and I don't believe he wants to take over this country to run it into the ground. A man with the ego of Trump would not allow that, he will try to the be the greatest most competent president possible free of any of the chains of the special interests no matter how much they kick and scream.

I don't think you're even listening to yourself. A man with the ego of Trump would not be able to see his own flaws and would be incapable of being the most competent president possible. Trump is only in it because he thinks he's so awesome that he should be president. He doesn't give a rat's ass about making things better. It's a total ego trip. And since your grammar is atrocious, I would assume that you don't know what you're talking about and are probably not a reliable source.

So you're being a grammar nazi now? Alright, I see what we have here. Trump cares more about making this country great against because he's invested in it, he has had success in America, he has employed tens of thousands of people, he actually has something to lose unlike everyone else on that stage. If Trump's ego was so bad he wouldn't be such a great negotiator and he wouldn't be worth billions of dollars which he made honestly unlike the paybacks that have enriched Hillary Clinton and her husband He isn't a career politician who dons the suit of glorified cult leader every few years in between their many cocktail parties and backroom deals with the special interests. Most politicians are lawyers, it's a natural progression and the skills that make a great lawyer(being able to lie with a straight face) also make a great politician. Politicians are in no way politically competent and have any special insight into how to run the world, they only know how the hold on to power not matter what they have to say or do to accomplish that. Trump has been a great executive of a great company, I trust him much more than I do Hillary Clinton or Marco Rubio.
