I don't believe a word coming out of Trump's mouth. Including his intentions re: Justices.
No,I will not hold my nose and vote for him.

I understand. I also don't have a clue what he's going to put up as scotus picks.... but I know *exactly* what hillary will. I find it pretty likely that Donald will nominate judge judy or somesuch.

I will vote trump over hillary, not because I think he's *good*, but because I think he will be far less effectual at doing harm.

Would it be fair to call it a "lesser of two evils" situation?

I agree with mosinging in that my concern is that Trump constantly contradicts himself. However, a Hillary presidency will be the final nail in the coffin.

I would call it more a "devil you know" situation... Combined with a "well, that's going nowhere fast".

I have no clue what Trump will do. He is therefore an improvement on someone I *know* will do the worst imagineable things.

Trump, if elected, will face intense resistance, from BOTH parties. Hillary, if elected, will enjoy the full and unrelenting support of the democrat party. She will therefore be FAR more effectual at implementing absolute horrors than Trump will be at implementing whatever he tries.

So, on both important fronts, he is the less awful candidate.

returning to this [already old, by blog standards] conversation:
someone in my friends' band just joked that Trump should get nominate Sanders as his VP: their positions on many issues are strikingly similar.
yep. not so funny, actually
