Any one who felt the Bern and if a true believer in improving social issues would never support Trump. But if someone is angry, upset at their guy loosing, lashing out is expected. But you have to look in the mirror once and awhile. When alone need to be honest with yourself.

Just how can a person once seeing and hearing how Trump reacted to the Gold Star family then now continue to do so support him?? How much of ones soul or integrity is lost by letting this be rationalized then accepted? Must get easier the more one does it! Trump supporters have been doing it for so long now must be all running together.

TJ you are on vacation have some fun, relax, stop the hate and move on. You are just one person one vote after all and we elect presidents thru the Electoral Collage after all.

Try not to take everything so personally or to the extremes. Roll with the flow and remember, you win some and you lose them all. Besides Clintrump manage to rub a lot of people the wrong way and not worth fighting or losing sleep over.

TJ gets comfort in feeling aggrieved.

With all due respect I reject your hypothesis. I am very comfortable with myself and my decision regarding this election.

The way I see it is, worst case scenario, and I'm not buying into that yet, is that Trump is an incompetent bigot.

Better to have an Incompetent Bigot representing the right, then a Wall Street War Monger representing the left.

If you can't see the logic in that POV, then there is nothing I can do to help you.

Then I will retract my comments and go at it. Pleasure is all mine.

Food for though.

People who support Trump are generally maligned and marginalized with pejoratives like, "your and idiot" or "your stupid." Clearly you have made a rationed decision and are neither stupid nor an idiot.

Good post.

I disagree.

Not that Trump embarrasses those values but rather because Hill is perceived as the enemy.
