I understand your perspective. I like a lot of candidates other than Trump. Cruz is my first pick - but I appreciate what Trump has brought to the campaign - even though he says some pretty stupid stuff sometimes, in my opinion, he has changed this election in many positive ways. In the end, the voters will decide who will represent them in 2016. I've had to hold my vomit several times when voting for president in recent history - and whoever becomes the nominee will cause the same reaction for many people.....but in the end, anyone on our side is better than anyone on theirs. That is my opinion.
I guess when you see "the haters" you feel like I do when I see people refer to anyone that doesn't hate Trump as a "Trump worshiper".
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong - but I don't see any worship of Trump here. I see people defending him, while they readily admit to disagreeing with some of the things he says. That is hardly "worship". Most of the people here that do defend Trump in any way say that there are other candidates they really like, but they appreciate that Trump has brought things to the table that the mainstream GOP would not dare to talk about.
There are things about Trump I like and things I don't like - like most of the other candidates. That doesn't mean that I worship him and I don't know of anyone else here that does either.
Maybe both groups should think about the words they use and try not to shoot for hyperbole.
Let me put it this way....... I have seen some people on this forum react in what I would call an extreme fashion to criticisms of Trump. I go back to what I said about that young woman in my family who said, "Don't say anything bad about Obama." She didn't want to hear any criticism, legitimate or not, because she wanted to vote for him without knowing the truth about him.
I have sensed some of the same response here. It doesn't matter if he's a liberal. It doesn't matter if he supports eminent domain. It doesn't matter if he is rude and nasty to women or anyone else. He's a 'street fighter' and that makes all his flaws irrelevant, I guess.
Trump is next to the bottom on my list. Lindsay Graham is at the bottom. But I don't want another egotistical, narcissistic adolescent, thin-skinned bully in the Oval Office, and that is exactly what I see in Trump. Now, my using those adjectives to describe Trump will have some people calling me a 'hater' but I believe every one of them describes his personality flaws, which for me, overwhelm any positives he may have.
OF COURSE I would vote for him rather than Hillary, but I am praying that I never have to make that choice.
America, with all its flaws, deserves far better than Donald Trump.
