There are hundreds of emails that flow into the mail center of CTH daily. Amid many of them we see this sentiment in various forms, generally as an outcome of a deep dive article that cannot be “pretended away.”This is a very, very common refrain: 
“I did not vote for Donald Trump in either of the other two US Presidential elections in which he ran. I will for him this year.
The choice, in this year’s US Presidential election, has been an easy one for me to make.
I’m not a supporter of Donald Trump.
I’m a defender of Donald Trump.
I have absolutely no doubt that I will vote next November 5th. I’ve no doubt that I will vote for Donald Trump. His opponents have been over the top (as Trump said accurately) in “weaponizing the justice system.” Undermining the electoral system, too, I might add.
And, while we’re added, let’s give some thought to the very most basic tenet of American justice: the presumption of innocence. It’s a little bit early in the nation’s decline to abandon that, isn’t it? Give it another 20 years, then sink that low.
I believe every American who knows anything at all about the nation’s foundational principles, and believes in those principles, should be a defender of Donald Trump.
Let him run. Let him win if he can. Denying him that opportunity is not a violation of his right to seek election; it’s a violation of the right of every voting American citizen whose choice for the Presidency is Donald Trump. I just became one of them.”
