    This defense is still risible. That column was written in February 2016, after the Iowa Caucus. Everybody knew what Trump was by then.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1323304719742390278 …

    I thought Trump would be less bad if elected! But that was when I had barely started paying attention to him, and I quickly realized I was wrong.

        I mean, the real reason was quite open--Trump was seen as impossible to win and so him getting the nomination would help Clinton. It really was that simple.

        "What Trump was" the easiest candidate for Hillary to face.

        The entire field was uninspiring. More of the same old GOP: sanctimony, puffery and lies.

        Chait thought, foolishly, he was the lesser evil in February 2016, at least in the primaries. You think he is the lesser evil in November 2020. In the general.

        You were still suggesting he was a crypto-Democrat after the election, so maybe not everybody.

        We knew he was temperamentally unfit and should have known that he was not a good administrator or businessman, but I don't think we necessarily would have been aware of the extent of his authoritarianism.

        Donald Trump tonight incited violence. Is there a single member of his administration, a single elected official of his party, with the courage, decency and patriotism to step up now and say to his supporters: "Whatever the election results: No mobs. No lawlessness. No violence."

        You've endorsed him and have spent the last 4 years doing PR for him...in November 2020...after he's openly declared he's trying to sabotage the election...I have genuinely never seen anyone argue in such bad faith and with as much hypocrisy as you in my entire life
