My parents, both life long Republicans, and involved (as in elected official involved) in local politics in my home town, both voted for Biden. They could not get past Trump's demeaner. His policies are exactly what they want, but they also want someone that they could respect, and he has the demeaner of a child. Was he persecuted by the democrats? Yes. Did he act like an adult? No. If he would have simply kept his thumbs off his phone I believe he would have won in a landslide, even with everything the corrupt media and DOJ threw at him. But DJT simply can't not respond to the attacks, he can't just do the job, he has to win, and he has to let the loser know they're losing. He is a foul man, and I understand those that believe it takes a foul man to drain the swamp, but his words and behavior make him detestable to many conservatives. I voted for him, but I didn't like doing so.

I'll be honest, after the debate that he skipped, I'm watching Nikki Haley to see some more from her, frankly seems like the adult in the room right now. ***Flame Suit On***

No offense, but that is RINO behavior. How do they feel about their decision now? Pretty stupid to vote for people destroying the country because the other guy offends sensibilities. Are they enjoying war, extreme cost of living, ridiculous policies, rampant crime, gas prices, forcing EV’s down our throats? There’s much more as we all know, but I’d be interested in their opinion as long as they have a lifelong political loser at the helm as opposed to someone that despite his personal life was actually making America great again.

I can not argue against anybody who dislikes President Trump's personality. I'm not crazy about that aspect at all, although at times I do find it amusing.

I do wish that voters would put more emphasis on policies and accomplishments, and less on personality. This is an election for an executive to run the country, not a popularity vote for Homecoming Queen.

If one can’t read something of that length in five minutes, perhaps more reading rather than less would be beneficial.

If one can’t spare five minutes to read something, does one really have the time to comment on it?

This in spades. I would enjoy having a drink and chat with President Trump as I think he’s an interesting character and I’ll bet he has some amazing stories. I could learn something from him. I wouldn’t look to him for an example of ideal comportment or personality.

When I vote for a candidate, I’m “hiring” them to do a job. I’m not sure that if elected President Trump will be able to do the job we need done in Washington, but from what I have seen, he has an infinitely higher probability of success than any of the other applicants.

There was an epiphany for me in around 1995 with the Bill Clinton scandals. I realized that national elections were really nothing more than high school student council elections. The popular kids won just because they were popular. Same with elections, where feelings greatly outweigh logic.

The only arguments I've heard against President Trump have been emotional or flat out false facts implanted in their head by the lying propaganda media.

I don't usually say it out loud, but women with the worst TDS all come across as emotionally damaged from some kind of trauma. They feel threatened by a masculine man. Idk what to say about men with TDS but they seem equally unhinged.

I don't believe there is an outsider who can do what needs to be done who isn't somehow abrasive or in-your-face. A "nice guy" outsider who appeals to the masses on looks and personality isn't going to have the backbone to get things done.

You had me up until Nikki Haley.

I voted for him twice and, if given the opportunity, will do so again, but it damn sure ain't because of his personality.

No such thing exists. There's no such thing as a Republican that supports Democrats. Saying it's so, or really, really feeling it doesn't make it reality.

General MacArthur apparently had a difficult personality and arrogance that bristled more than a few. A past roommate of mine's father was a JAG during WW2 and was present in MacArthur's HQ for awhile tending to a court-martial. He asked one of MacArthur's aides about MacArthur's arrogance, and the aide replied, "you wouldn't want to go into battle with a leader that has low self esteem, would you?"

I know of several who did, and several who just didn't vote, which, in turn as we say is a vote for the opposition ie Biden.

Those who switched said they were done with Trumps demeanor, results aside, they were tired of the constant Trump Trump Trump daily on TV and Radio, Facebook, emails, conversation.

Trump thrives on this, but it can be tiresome.

JMO if he'd spend more time being Trump the President not Trump the media whore then he'd have beat Biden handily...

Alas Peloski and team had a lot to do with making him appear to be the problem than himself, and that too was the goal...

Calling themselves Republicans doesn’t make it so. The party has a platform, and members of that party generally support the gist of it.

Voting for somebody with a different platform makes you one of them. There is no such thing as a Republican that votes Democrat. Those voters may be independent or closeted Democrats, but they aren’t Republicans.

You vote for the candidate who is best for the country regardless of race, personality etc.
The idea I would vote AGAINST a candidate that was very agreeable to my beliefs just because I didn’t like his “ personality “ is preposterous

Election is about voting for the most charming candidate, the one who can bullshit you the most, and against the guy you despise the most. Who cares if the country goes down the toilet as a result of my vote.

My thoughts are if voting actually did anything they wouldn't let us do it.
