This post explains why, better than I could.

I agree, in general. I will vote for Trump, with a shrug ... which is pretty much how I feel about all the candidates this year. I don’t even care that much about my State Rep anymore, although he’s a nice enough guy. (The previous one, and his wife, were true Southern political Characters.)And the County Commissioner candidates are all nebbishes.

I disagree with a few points, though. First, that everyone should vote as if the nation stands or falls on his one vote, regardless of the objective circumstances. If a person wants to play that mind game with himself, fine ... just like I tell myself that every dollar of my local, state, and federal taxes goes to activities I support. (The city parks, the county sheriff, the state parks, and my daughter’s CG salary.) However, it’s not a moral mandate.

Secondly, Mr. Prager has a list of prospective accomplishments that he expects from a putative President Trump, but he is taking them purely on faith. A more realistic list would be some of the likely disasters of a putative President Clinton (or Sanders) which one could reasonably expect Trump to avoid.
