      I must confess that I constantly wrestle w/ this dilemma. *Some* of the norms Trump is eroding needed to go. No *normal* Republican pol could have done some of the things he has accomplished. By the same token, I still have serious concerns...https://twitter.com/byronyork/status/956150797670256640 …

      I really try to be open minded and willing to accept the possibility that I don’t fully understand things. This is a conservative instinct. And so I’m open to the possibility that I didn’t appreciate some of the good things others saw in Trump.

          I’m also reflexively contrarian. When I see the mob going one way, I want to go the other. So when I see so much anti-Trump hysteria in the media, I’m likely to be question it a bit. Being skeptical about going w/ the crowd is hopefully a journalistic attribute.

          Having said all of that, it is still clear to me that Trump lacks character—& this is a deficiency that cannot be overcome. I am not a Trump fan by any means. But I think @ByronYork is on to something when he suggests some intellectually honest NeverTrumpers wrestle with this.

          It’s natural instinct to question which is a good quality of intellectual people. Most people are zombies and believe everything without doing research and education themselves. Too much work to have an opposing viewpoint. Easier to go along. Nice work

          As a woman, it is difficult for me to look at whatever good qualities Trump has.

          I personally don't know of any good things about the man. He's a monster. Pure evil.
