To those "hold your nose" folks who state that they will vote for Trump for his "policies" claim its worth overlooking his multiple character flaws to push a specific agenda they personally favor. But while childish behavior may be tolerable, his capacity -- and stated intention -- to damage the tenets that hold the US together is not.

Robert Reich says it best in his 8/23 post:
"The essence of Trump’s failure as president — and the fundamental reason he doesn’t merit a second term — is not that he has behaved in childish and vindictive ways or is “weird.” It is that he sacrificed — and continues to sacrifice — the processes and institutions that undergird America to achieve his own selfish aims. He abused the trust we place in a president to preserve and protect the nation’s capacity for self-government. Trump is a traitor."
