Early in 2016, I asked myself, “What if this election comes down to nothing more than who voters determine to be the second worst presidential candidate in American history?”
Polling results indicated that many Republicans held their noses and voted for Trump simply because he wasn’t Hillary Clinton. Almost three years later they are still holding their noses.
In nasal tones they continue to whine, “Well, we don’t agree with his tweets, or his style, or his lies, or his behavior, but at least he’s better than Hillary Clinton would have been.“
I find the GOP’s Hillary-Woulda-Been-Worse defense a frustratingly weak and outdated reason to tolerate Trump’s countless faults.
