There is a downside to being #NeverTrump -- in this cycle, it means you have less to write about. We've made our case concerning the qualifications of The Donald. He would be a horrible president. People don't seem to care. Now that the Washington Post has come up with a poll showing Trump leading Hillary Clinton, it's become evident that logic and reason aren't in the saddle.
It's not particularly tough to understand how this is possible. Hillary Clinton is a terrible candidate. It's amusing to watch my lefty pals on social media pretend otherwise. They know it in their bones; she has nothing to offer except a connection to a time gone by. And because Trump understands how to attack people, he's made the correct strategic decision in going after Bill Clinton first. I imagine the Democratic high command is in a panic right now.

A question, if I may? Is it your guess that Trump can defeat Clinton? If so, would you say that was a worse result than if Clinton wins?
Yes — I increasingly think it likely Trump will win. Neither Trump nor Hillary is a suitable president. Both will be statists and enemies of limited government and liberty. Both will wipe their butts with the Constitution and not think twice about it.
Another question I have been wanting to ask: What could Trump do or say, prior to the election, to at least reduce your anxiety about a Trump Presidency? Is there anything he could possibly say or do that would let you vote for him?

Prior to the election? Nothing.

If he gets elected and governs as a conservative, which includes tearing down the imperial trappings of the current holder of the office, I could see voting for him in 2020. Based on the available evidence, I see nothing to indicate he would do any such thing. If he surprises us, I'll admit to being wrong. But I doubt I'll have to make that admission.
I'm a bit less nervous after he released a list of judges he likes, but still pretty nervous.
Just my opinion, but I see several encouraging signs. And if he can moderate his image sufficiently that he doesn't hurt GOP elections downballot and Congress stays in GOP hands, I assume THEY will moderate any "imperial" tendencies he might have. Or they might just roll over good-doggie style, like they have for Obama. THAT worries me.
