How important is dignity in a potus

[Micawber]

Hard to quantify in the hierarchy of needs, but for me it's pretty high, sort one of the bedrock layers
of my pyramid. Quite clearly Republicans are either pretending it doesn't matter at all or they themselves have no class.

My vote against Trump and for Hillary and my knowledge that I would even prefer Ted Cruz to Trump
informs me that dignity in office is at least 30-50%, basic competency another 30%, and policy whatever is left.

Competency and statesmanship. Trumps has NONE of it. I have just shown you the gross anatomy of a never- Trumper.

I am curious how Trumptards will rationalize. Will they say he has competency and dignity? Will they say theydon't care?
Or will they say what I know to be true. They have no dignity honesty or class.

After two terms, people want change. A vote for Hillary was a vote for the status quo. At lest that's the best excuse I can make for those who voted for her.

America long ago abandoned any semblance of dignity.

Whatever standard of dignity for the first family I may have had went out the window when I saw the first lady double dutching on national television. Since then, it has been down hill.

Power does whatever it is allowed to, and the American public at this point is an utterly subjugated population.

That's a larger philosophical and political science point. I'm operating at the "Trump is an asshole" level here.

I honestly believe one of Trump's appeal to the right is that he makes extremists on the left squirm, like you. Kinda like he's a troll and you continuously feed him.

That's the main reason. Can't we set the bar higher than "he ticks the other side off" as the biggest factor in electing & supporting someone?

I mean, people who make that a priority shouldn't even vote.
