Trump's strong-man shtick is attracting bullies and faux tough guys

This atmosphere isn’t present in any other campaign, and no other candidate comes close to inciting violence against protesters. Trump stands alone in his willingness to tolerate and condone even physical attacks, not just from random voters but — allegedly — also from his own campaign manager.

#NeverTrump isn’t just about his nonsensical, leftist, and contradictory political opinions. Nor is it just about his record of deception and exploitation. It’s also about rejecting a man who openly courts assault, who plainly sees violence as simply one more tool in his political arsenal, and who mistakes pure thuggery for toughness. Trump and his team are bullies surrounded by cowards, attracting racists. He is not worthy of the Oval Office.
