Why Trump is a Bad Choice

Though I'm a Democrat, I've often voted for Republicans. I've voted for them even when I disagreed with most of their policy positions. The reason? In my view, the character of a candidate for public office means a lot more than his views on the issues. In Trump's case, he has none. People, especially uncommitted voters, are beginning to see this. The latest polling bears this out.

There are those who will say they don't like him but will vote for him because they agree with his policies. I'll spare you his numerous flip flops because I think he's got no moral character.

A British writer at London Daily sums it up succinctly by observing "he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace." He adds that this bully also happens to be a "a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness."

Even now, Trump is more focused on the size of his crowds than in the number of votes he will get. Sure, he will still get votes from his cult, but it will stop there.
