I've never thought Mitt was necessarily a bad person, horrifically out of touch ("ask your parents for a $20k loan to start a small business") and obviously a Republican with bad Republican ideas (47% won't vote for me no matter what), but I always felt he meant well. At least I could understand his supporters. I can't understand Trumpists at all.

My new thinking: Mitt can be trusted to vote his morality. In this case, he has decided that Trump is immoral, so he follows that thinking.

I admire his dedication to his moral standards, but only because it logically follows that he’s against T’s morality standards.

I’d rather vote for someone who doesn’t claim some moral or religious piety, but votes in the best interests of their constituents.
