    So if he made fewer crude jokes and showed greater "respect," you'd vote for him? This is a nonsensical posture. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/gop-senator-why-i-cannot-support-trump/2016/08/08/821095be-5d7e-11e6-9d2f-b1a3564181a1_story.html …

        Declining to vote for Trump is a tenable position, but if his wisecracks are the real dealbreaker, that's indicative of warped priorities.

        People who exalt "tone" and personal comportment above all else unintentionally reveal how superficial and petty their view of politics is.

        Collins would have been OK with a Muslim ban and mass deportation, but a joke about John McCain crosses the line https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/gop-senator-why-i-cannot-support-trump/2016/08/08/821095be-5d7e-11e6-9d2f-b1a3564181a1_story.html …

        Really, this is such an infantile, opportunistic outlook on politics, and Collins shouldn't get any plaudits for it (through she will)

        She does not say that. She cites three specific incidents.

        And each "incident" is essentially "tone" or "temperament" related.

        Did you read it? Collins specifically cites Trump's statements about maybe not honoring treaty commitments, for example.

        so you think she needs to spell out that a person who needs to respond to every slight shouldn't have access to nukes? (For eg)

        Where were these people's spines during the primary? Their stupid litmus tests ensure that no one reasonable makes it past Iowa.
