I find this position literally insane: you vote for someone who you assume is lying when he said what he will do in office and you vote for what you hope he will do, not what he says he will do. Crazy ...

BYW, how long before the family grifters show up for "work"?
Here's the thing, I don't like Trump, I don't think he'll make a good president some of his polices don't resonate with me.

BUT the line I've bolded above is EXACTLY why IMHO KH lost. Trump had policies, you might not like them, but they were liked enough by the voters for him to make inroads into the democratic vote share.
