The problem here is that people's desire for revenge is greater than their desire for doing right. That is why Trump's liberal positions don't matter to them. He could personally perform a partial-birth abortion live on stage at a Democrat debate during prime time, and his supporters would still be cheering him on. Because they have (wrongly) convinced themselves that Trump is the person who can exact vengeance for them.

That is a perfectly horrible and baseless thing to say about hundreds and hundreds of your fellow freepers who support Trump after objectively evaluating his life's work. You have started with the position that your jaundiced view is the only possible truth, and went downhill from there, as if no one who supports Trump could possibly have researched him, when in fact his life has been an open book here in the Northeastern newspapers for decades, and especially in the business press for those who actually run businesses and read about him monthly or weekly in one publication or another for the past 40 years.

Your disdainful moral superiority shows an unwillingness to consider that you may not know what you think you know, as well as an absence of perspective and a revealing display of class envy.

Objectively evaluating his life's work as a liberal Democrat? Yes, I objectively evaluated that. Which is exactly why I do not support him. You see, I happen to be a Conservative. And Trump's positions - on raising taxes, touchback amnesty, using federal tax dollars to directly pay healthcare costs of 25% of Americans, and his praise of using eminent domain to take property from one person and give it to a person with more influence - all of these run contrary to my Conservative leanings.

And these aren't old positions either. These are all positions he has stated since announcing his run for President last June. So yes, I have objectively evaluated his work as well as his positions on how he would lead this nation. And through that evaluation, I have concluded that there is no way in hell I could support someone who is to the left of Mitt Romney on every single issue.

So how can you?
