I understand that Trump also aligns with certain single issue (such as female reproductive rights) voters who don't have a racist bone in their body.
I am happy to clarify now:
I do not think voting for Trump means a person is categorically racist.

Are you referring to those guys who spoke at Trump's convention?
One would think so.

People can go ahead and vote either way for reasons such as the economy, reproductive rights, etc but to call one of the two a sexual predator and not the other is unfair. And I've said this same thing to my Trump supporter cousin who only brings up the Biden/Reade case and none of the related allegations with Trump.

Fair enough.
I'd also like to salute the majority of the participants here, many of whom I am at odds with, for elevating the discourse in recent days when it easily could have gone straight to hell. Granted, the fear of the mod hammer probably plays a sizable role in ensuring basic civility, but at least as much credit can be fairly assigned to the contributors at this point.
There are clearly some very intelligent people here asking the big questions.
I find that comforting.
Thank you all.
