If you truly think that Trump is best for the country, go all out. I don't think you actually believe that. Therefore, your rooting for a Trump victory is based on hatred rather than logic. Hatred is not a good recipe for justice.

P.S. It looks like you have been campaigning for the role of lightning rod for a long time.
You are right. A good part of it is a desire for payback. However I also believe the country will be better off in the long run if Trump is elected instead of Hillary. If Hillary is elected then the notion that the Corporate Wing of the Democratic Party is going to be the standard for what passes as progressive and liberal in this country is going to be validated. That is unacceptable to me. If Trump wins the notion that the Democratic Party is too far to the right is validated. Sometimes you have to lose a battle to win the war. Sometimes you have to hit rock bottom before you can begin to climb out of a hole.
