I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF!

A great piece on the Opinion Pages of THE NEW YORK TIMES from Charles M. Blow titled “Trump Is an Existential Threat” echoes my frustration with this election.  I couldn’t have said it better myself (highlights are mine) -
 
I simply cannot wrap my head around how others with level heads and sound minds can even consider Trump for president of this country and leader of the free world. The logic simply escapes me.
 
There is no way to make this make sense. Believe me, I’ve tried.
 
Donald Trump is a bigot.
 
Donald Trump is a demagogue.
 
Donald Trump is a sexist, misogynist, chauvinist pig.
 
Donald Trump is a bully.
 
Donald Trump is a cheat.
 
Donald Trump is a pathological liar.
 
Donald Trump is a nativist.
 
Donald Trump’s campaign has proved too attractive to anti-Semites, Nazis and white nationalists, and on some level the campaign seems to be tacitly courting that constituency.
 
Donald Trump — judging by his own words on that disgusting tape and if you believe the dozen-plus women who have come forward to accuse him of some form of sexual assault or unwanted sexual advance — is an unrepentant predator.
 
To put it more succinctly, Donald Trump is a lowlife degenerate with the temperament of a 10-year-old and the moral compass of a severely wayward teen.
 
There is no way to make a vote for him feel like an act of principle or responsibility. You can’t make it right. You can’t say yes to Trump and yes to common decency. Those two things do not together abide.”
 
The answer is obviously that Trump followers and supporters do not have level heads and sound minds – nor do they have intelligence, integrity, or a conscience!
 
As I have said throughout the campaign - this election has absolutely nothing to do with politics, political philosopy, or political policies.  It is about keeping "a lowlife degenerate with the temperament of a 10-year-old and the moral compass of a severely wayward teen" as far away from the White House as possible!
