I live in a dark blue dot in a blue state so comprehending Trump’s support has been an exercise in futility. Every time he opens his mouth something more despicable comes out. I do not get his appeal. I don’t see how his supporters don’t throw their hands up in disgust.

This shouldn’t be even close. Sometimes I’m optimistic, sometimes I’m pessimistic.
