>> I really don't get that.
It is pretty simple. The most important thing for a president, to me, is integrity. I can see, without any doubt, that Clinton lacks the slightest integrity. Trump, OTOH, by all credible accounts, has practiced integrity in his business dealings for decades. That being my most important criterion by an order of magnitude, the comparison could stop there.
But then you have other important attributes that are near the top of my list --
- Competence
- Negotiating expertise
- Business experience
- Administrative experience
- Track record of accomplishment
Then, somewhere down the list, is
- Rhetoric
The usual metrics, I don't care about.
- Disclosing tax returns.
- Minor campaign lies that all politicians are guilty of
and finally,
- Political experience (the more they have, the less qualified they are).
As you can see, I have no real choice here. I thought early on I might try to support Clinton because I didn't like some of Trump's bullshit. But at the end of the day, I realized there was no way I could do that given her background. |
