Of course it makes sense. I can get past Trump’s undesirable tweets and behavior because I watch what he’s doing policy wise and it aligns with my political beliefs...., that’s being mature enough to accept Trump’s good along with the bad.

I didn't vote for Hillary, I voted against Trump.

I was on the fence and decided to read Trump's book -- "Great Again" before I decided.

I was disturbed by parts of the book where Trump discussed foreign policy and the military. From my reading, it appeared that Trump envisioned that the U.S. military could be used to protect other countries for which it would be paid for these services. He complained that the
U.S. had engaged in wars for allies in the middle east and that we were not paid for the huge costs which the U.S. incurred (which was not entirely true).

To me, Trump was pretty much of an unknown quantity in general, and that, together with military risk, made me decide against him.

You’re a simpleton.

Someone can be disgusted by both DJT and HRC. Or is that too much of a mental stretch for you to grasp?

Simpleton? You knowingly voted for a criminal and you’re calling someone else a simpleton. The TDS has consumed your gray matter son. Lol!

But you did vote for Hilldawg. I’ll tell you the same thing I told DEG, if you knowingly voted for a criminal you’re not thinking clearly....., I was being kind.

Ah, so you cannot read and you call him a simpleton? Interesting. But Zach is here to help. Read slowly. Use your finger.

Notice the word 'better.' That implies that one is superior to the other. That's how ALL presidential races are determined. You don't vote for the 'good' candidate. You vote for the 'better' one.

If you didn't vote for either because both candidates were equal then the OP's question is not for you to answer.

Because leaders aren't impulsive and wreckless on twitter, because leaders don't act like children complaining about negative press, because leaders want to get along with our allies instead of doing things like calling them out for their terrorist attacks, because leaders are strategic and think through things they are going to say publicly

is that enough? or should I keep going?

She was always the lesser of two evils

michelle obama is going to go down as the most beloved first lady since WWII. If she is not, she will be #2 behind reagan.

How does one “rank” a First Lady? I think most of them have equally been gracious and classy and picked good priorities

Although some WH staffers will tell you some were nicer than others

1. I think the tax cuts in the long term will mostly benefit the wealthy and only add to the debt.

2. Jeff Sessions has reversed some policies (asset seizure and mandatory sentencing) that has proven over and over again to be in effective and not only destroy one individuals life but also put the entire family at high risk. This largely effects inner cities and extreme rural areas at a higher rate.

3. Blasting folks in the Middle East back to the Stone Age just further enables the cycle. Those cats don’t care about dying and after 2 presidents spent trillions over there it is still a shite hole and time to quit spending money and having people die over there .

Oh, and you need to get out more.

Michelle was an openly hateful woman who clearly disliked a substantial portion of the electorate.

Hell, even Hillary wasn't that bad as a 1st lady compared to her.

Sure. Some people will slobber all over Michelle, but "most beloved" would tend to imply WIDELY loved and that's just fantasy that will never happen.

So it’s his personality and what you consider to be unacceptable presidential behavior not his policies. Did you vote for the criminal?

Well he say beloved. That would be approval ratings. MO has sky high approval ratings right now, despite not being in the public eye.

Being a 3rd wife probably hurts melania's image with a lot of wives that were divorced.

You need help figuring that out?

Do you think I read all of Trump's book so I could vote against him?

Am I the first person who has ever said they voted against a candidate instead of voted for the other?

her approval ratings are clocking near 80%. Melania is in the 50s.

Sure, there are a lot of people that REALLY hate michelle obama. But there are a lot of people that really hate melania.
