So I ask you, as a person who admittedly considered voting for him, what was it about him as a potential POTUS that had you considering voting for him?

BBG

is as valid as all the Hillary supporters and their "but Trump" responses..

The national debt has more than doubled under the current administration causing more long term damage than any admin in history...

Relations with Russia are at its lowest since the cold war.

A terrorist group actually has their own country to plan operations against the west. Beheadings have become THE NORM.

Race relations are at an all time low, and yes, that happened long before Trump started running for office (but who no doubt added to it)

Jeanvol posted an article about how Christians feel they are being attacked.

That is all a "but hillary" or "but dem" response, as many may want to move away from dems because of the things listed above...

It is no different than Hillary supporters looking past Hillary's unethical behavior because they think a Hillary presidency will be better for the country than a Trump presidency.

And no, I am not saying their evils are identical and not trying to make an equivalency.

They are both bad people as has been documented time and time again... I dislike Trump far more than Hillary, but I can still see that Hillary is loathsome.

So you make a choice between the two (I will go third party as usual, but I know most will vote two party lines) based on who you think will be better for the country long term--as they are both pretty despicable human beings. I would choose Hillary, but I understand why some would want to roll the dice on Trump given the current administration.

Some look at Hillary as a continuation of the disaster of the current administration, and despite Trump being a loon feel it is worthwhile to take a gamble on ANYONE but a Dem.

The left are painting it as the right, extremists, or "deplorables" going off its rocker.

What they need to take note of is that it is a protest vote.

A large chunk of the country is now in an anyone but dem mode because of the disaster of the Obama administration.

It won't be enough to win this election, Hillary will be president.

But the fact that such a large percentage of the country will be voting for someone as despicable as Trump should be taken for what it is... a dissatisfaction with leftist idealogy and policies that have pushed some to the boiling point.
