I weight it against…


…the policy implications inherent in someone’s election or defeat.

Call Trump whatever you want, but, character-wise, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden — the last two alternatives to Trump — are absolute filth. Even in an election solely based on character, Trump gets my vote.

But elections are not solely based on character, and most politicians are deeply flawed individuals in any case. In the context of the presidency, one person is going to wield the levers of power to effect policy. So, I’m gonna vote for the person who will most closely move those levers in the same direction as I would. Again, this is just simple politics in a representative democracy.
