Hmmm, a center-right candidate who seems to believe in the political process to achieve what he thinks is best for the country, even if I don't agree with much of it, versus a demagogue cult leader grifter whose followers want full-on authoritarianism? Tough choice, tough choice.
Yes, I have warned for years that the Democrats' triangulation and lesser-evilism would get us here, but here we are, and democracy is awful hard to regain once it's gone, so there it is.
Remember back when these candidates were the moderate republicans? That tea party crap was something.
