There are things to not like about Trump. None of them are disqualifiers. He's a bit of an asshole. So what. Lot's of great men throughout History were assholes. Lincoln was an asshole. Patton was a huge asshole. Most of my commanders in the military were assholes. Reagan was an asshole. But, they were very good leaders. Having been a leader, a boss, a person of "authority", I know that you often have to be an asshole. And, you don't have to be a man to be an asshole. Margaret Thatcher was a huge asshole.
Clinton is not a simple asshole. She is corrupt. Corrupt is a completely different animal from simply being an asshole. I'll take asshole over corrupt.
Sometimes, assholes fuck up. But it's a genuine fuck up. They did what they thought was best at the time, like Patton slapping the shit out of a "coward". I can live with genuine fuck ups. I can't live with corruption fuck ups. Corruption fuck ups, like taking foreign money and getting paid millions for obvious favors, is far more damaging to a country than genuine fuck ups.
Hitlery, Stein, Johnson and the others on the ballot all have disqualifiers. None of them have anything to do with personality. The disqualifiers are their beliefs/policy. Trump has some minor beliefs/policy that I don't like but no disqualifiers.
