The more transparent a leader is with the use of power the more citizens can constrain the abuse of power. On that score, Trump has more political virtue than Hillary
The political Left has for quite some time been on a witch-hunt to find the essential evil of Donald Trump that would eliminate him from the presidential race in the minds of voters. Trump has repeatedly been compared to Hitler and Mussolini in an attempt to irrefutably stigmatize him. But to assess the candidates on whether they are essentially evil we need to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate uses of power.
Government is a monopoly on the legitimate use of violence, coercion, deception and power; or a monopoly on the use of evil. We elect presidents to have the authority to use evil but we only want it used in extreme cases of national emergency and for non-partisan and non-gratuitous purposes.
With all the hate speech definitions, trigger rules and playing of the race card and the war-on-women card, they've come as close as possible to doing so.
