Why I still can’t support Trump: The arguments to do so make no sense

Sure, Hillary is definitely a corrupt liar with whom I disagree on almost everything and who has never accomplished anything of note. But so is Trump! The only difference I see, for sure, is that Hillary at least knows the basics of the job (you know, like countries, world leaders, and that kind of stuff) and seems to at least be “qualified” for the position. In a major crisis I honestly would, as much as it pains me to say it, have more faith in her than in him.

The underlying premise of this line of “reasoning” is especially hilarious given that it has been made most vigorously by my old pal Sarah Palin, who did absolutely nothing to help Mitt Romney in 2012 and who endorsed a non-Republican for governor of Alaska against her former Lt. Governor. The idea that putting an “R” next to the name of a life-long Democrat is the only legitimate reason to support them is just ludicrous. This is especially so when, if he somehow got elected, real Republicans would end up getting the blame for all of his mistakes. At least if/when Hillary wins, it is the Democrats who will have full culpability.

Then, there is the ultimate fallback of the Trump-backer: “What about the Supreme Court?!” I love this one because the premise here is that we should put all of our eggs into the one basket which Trump barely ever mentioned until the death of Antonin Scalia forced him to do so. Not only is this a subject that Trump has never shown any real interest in, but he is an outspoken supporter of eminent domain and curtailing the First Amendment (at least when it suits his own self-interest).
