Hillary is disgusting.
What did the Democrats say "hey remember that guy who was impeached for lying about blow jobs? Get his wife?"
The Clintons set new standards for personal awfulness. We don't want more of that.
How do you know how Trump is going to govern?
You're arguing they're identical. They're not. We can always fall back on the whole "well what we believe is best is so far from what we usually get and what most people seem to want that all the actual nominees always appear close to each other." That's true, but that doesn't mean that Trump and Hillary are identical. There are clear differences. Build the wall. Clinton doesn't agree on that one.
I've changed my position when it became clear that Hillary was going to be the nominee (which technically hasn't happened yet). My position then was they all suck and Giant Meteor 2016. That's when there was an undifferentiated mass of suck. But then it became clear that Trump and Clinton were the nominees. And it became clear that either Trump or Hillary would be President. And Hillary is so awful that it became time to look at Trump.
I lived through the 1990s. I was paying attention. It was an awful embarrassment, and anyone who was older than a little kid at that time really should know that. For months if not years you had the same people who attacked Clarence Thomas defending Clinton, and what Clinton did was far worse. It was disgusting. Democrats took the position that Perjury was completely acceptable to them as long as it's a Democrat who committed the Felony.
That's who you're defending. Trump is a candidate that appeals to people who are pissed off, Both the Pauls appeal to pissed off GOP voters. The message isn't the same, but Trump is not the next RINO in a series of RINOs. There were Ron Paul people - Maine delegates, who were on board with Trump when Rand Paul was still an option. They weren't right to do that, but there were some that did.
Trump explained his contribution as merely something like bribery, hoping that bribing politicians was seen as more acceptable than agreeing with the policies of a repulsive Democrat.
Hillary remains much more repulsive than Trump and there is considerable uncertainty about how Trump is going to govern. This might be a good opportunity to get some of our people in government. It's not like the usual suspect RINOs are first in line. A governing coalition should include Liberty Conservatives. Trump, who might not have a fixed set of ideas, could, in theory at least, bring in some of our people.
We all should know Hillary Clinton real well, and we all should not want Hillary Clinton at all. I can see why someone wouldn't want to vote for a President who is likely to be the worst President ever (all Presidents have been the worst President ever), but with Clinton, it's a little more concrete. We have a pretty good idea how awful things will be with Clinton as President. We have no clear idea at all about Trump.
A lot of little things change when there's an R in there as opposed to a D. Comedy is better. SNL will be better. In 2016, no comedians, SNL, Stewart, Colbert, etc ever attack Democrats, and the best and easiest target is the President, so, there will be funny attacks on Trump, instead of never criticizing Obama at all, or never criticizing Hillary at all. I can't think of one good outcome of a Hillary Presidency. Trump might not suck. The trend points to sucking, sure, no doubt about it, but Hillary is already 100% proven to suck.
You know that you're defending Hillary Clinton on a Ron Paul forum, right?
No, Trump has higher unfavorables (and lower favorables).
That's a nice way of rephrasing the problem to make it sound less bad.
It's not that Trump "doesn't hate" Hillary enough.
It's that he shares her views on all of the important issues facing the country, such that he would govern in the same way.
Again, you're ignoring the most serious problem.
It's not just about donations, it's about a long record of public statements in support of her terrible policies.
Those policies are always and everywhere terrible, whoever mouths them.
....yea, he started criticizing her around the time he started running in the GOP.
Yes we do.
No, but Trump likely does.
It makes no difference who wins.
It does make a difference that ostensible libertarians/conservatives are getting suckered into supporting Trumpllary.
