There are a sizable number of people who support the candidacy of Trump even if we wouldn't hang out with him, merely on the rational prediction of what he would/could accomplish, and partly because we don't see anyone else having a chance of accomplishing it. (I'm of the give Cruz 16 years by having him vp under Trump bent.)

You say "Trojan Horse, false candidate ... " but this is just name calling - so you are actually coming from the culty continuum yourself - you are anti Trump in the non-thinking / non-critical way some are for him. But my support for him is based on a rational calculation of his x percent chance of accomplishing y. That is based on his skillset, leadership, past accomplishments and just as importantly rebound from past failures. When he's not purposefully being a showman, he's perfectly well thought out. Further, he is capable of seeing the obvious ... a rare skill these days. Of course all the politicians do in fact see the obvious, but they've been bought, have their hands tied. Trump's aren't!

If you can come up with some rational, logical reasons supporting disqualifying problems that outweigh his positives, rather than the easy name calling that qualifies for political debate these days (mostly on the left, but both sides) then you should lay them out here. He's certainly not perfect, far from it, but who is it that you think will, regardless of your personal reaction to them, cause this country to change it's very very bad direction?

The only question that really matters is 'based on x man or woman being president for 4 years / 8 years, where will the country be when he leaves office, and headed in what direction, how fast?'' I don't care if he blows bubbles for 8 years, if THAT causes the country to return closer to it's roots and proper direction and values, tell me who that guy is.

Finally, of course it's true that he has many many moronic supporters. That's because America is filled with many morons. ANY candidate who has charisma will have morons and lemmings in tow. Great! I hear he's peeling of some of the dopes who went with O twice for exactly that reason. If a zombie is on your side, put him to work.

But don't be ashamed to support Trump just because he's a showman and can make you cringe. I see the culty aspect too. But better to have it on our side. It does no good to say 'hey! all you cultish people - go vote for Biden and the fake Indian, we don't want you.'
