1 of several: A bunch of people have asked me in the last two days why I would never under any circumstances vote for Donald Trump. And at least some of these people seem sincere—so let me answer.
The argument these folks make generally goes like this: Sure he's a lying, cheating narcissist who reveals his lack of maturity and good judgment with every tweet. But set aside his character. What really matters is policy!
First of all, I categorically reject the idea that character doesn't matter. It does, and it's sad that so many people who identify as religious conservatives have suddenly, conveniently decided otherwise. And Trump has none.
But say you really believe that's not important. Look at policy!, you say. OK. @reason has spent the last four years doing exactly that. Here's what we found...
