And I can accept that. That viewpoint is reasonable. I think it is not completely indefensible to have voted for him in the general election because you thought it more likely he would put policies in place closer to what you thought should be there than Clinton would.
What I don't get is people who still support HIM, as a person. And people who voted for him in the primaries. And I don't understand why so many in the GOP have sold the soul of their party in support of him. When I see a group of evangelical preachers laying their hands on him and praying like he is a righteous man going off on a crusade it makes my skin crawl.
That guy is a billionaire (so he says) with low-culture -- even vulgarian -- habits. A lot of the ill feelings towards him are more along the lines of taste issues, from what I can see. Conservatives should be jumping for joy, given what he's done in the time he's been in office. And if he just shut his mouth and acted like Calvin Coolidge, maybe, he'd fare a lot better with many people not of strict conservative outlooks. But because he's a crassly rich vulgarian we get a never-ending reality show circus, and it wears on folks.
Me, I abhored the first iteration of Jerry Springer's show. I don't need to watch a repeat, this time in the Oval Office. ;-)
