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& #39;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& #39;t matter. It does, and it& #39;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& #39;s not important. Look at policy!, you say. OK. @reason has spent the last four years doing exactly that. Here& #39;s what we found...
