Here’s Why This Educated, Liberal Couple Is Considering Voting For Donald Trump – BuzzFeed News

That’s one hell of a quote, and the buzzfeed interview doesn’t really make it better.

I guess “affluent American with postgraduate degrees” translates to “we can afford to watch the world burn." 

Clinton might be "corrupt” in a few (fiscal) cases, but for a social liberal she sure is more dependable than Trump. The Donald might’ve been a “moderate pragmatist” once, but thanks to his “hyperbolic” rhetoric he is currently actively going around hating people. What he will actually do once in office is completely unknown at this point. What his kind of rhetoric and attitude will do in unstable regions like the one producing the refugee the Mrs. claims to care about is also unknown, but potentially catastrophic. Honestly, you can’t really be socially liberal and then have a quote like that above as part of your reasoning. Sure, from a socially liberal, fiscally conservative stance Rubio and Cruz’s positions (and track record) are even worse, but that doesn’t make Trump acceptable. Also, he’s a reprehensible buffoon who acted in a racist way before – or have we all forgotten about him championing the utterly racist Birther movement?

Something I really miss, something that’s also missing in their reasoning, is the awareness there are also a lot of Senate seats (and Reps.) up for election. Supporting Democratic candidates for Senate might be just as crucial as voting for Clinton or Sanders. 

I’m tired.
