      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.

      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.

          if you buy a house in the floodplain, it's not suddenly a good decision simply bc it doesn't flood the first year you own it.

          So what would you call a trait that would lead someone to, for just one example, help fund @RandPaul to provide medical treatment to citizens of Haiti? Just wondering.

          Maybe trump would be better served without Sarah.. Kelly Ann and his kids... people see them and don’t care what the message is they shut right down ... I almost think they are more disliked than him and therefore damaging to any message he tries to convey..

          Voters knew the risk in voting for Trump, but rightly weighed that against the potential benefits and chose accordingly. Had the Democrats nominated anyone but the most corrupt candidate in our lifetimes, the outcome may have been different

          What bothers me is not that you think Trump lacks character, but that you also apparently think there are other national politicians that have character. There are like 10 decent individuals in the entire Congress. It suggests you are either naive, or playing politics.
