    I guess you could say they’re “Delusional?” Lol

    In all seriousness though, I truly don’t either. In my lifetime, Trump is truly the only presidential candidate that I do not get the appeal. And he has been selected a third time in spite of all his failings.

    Even with Bush Jr - whose presidency was categorically bad - I could understand why some people were drawn to his personal charm and charisma. But Trump? I just do not get it.

    Contrasting Trump with Hillary Clinton, I remember numerous republicans, conservatives, and some independents told me “where there is smoke, there is fire” and used her trials and investigations to dismiss her as a valid, trustworthy candidate.

    Well, with Trump there is sure a lot of smoke.

    Edit: I changed “twice” to “a third time” because even though he was the incumbent in 2020 (and therefore the defacto nominee) Trump was nominated then.
