1. not to excuse (because there is none),

but when we're down to two candidates, simply picking one over the other doesn't give a great view into the full thinking behind it.

many republicans are holding their noses and supporting trump simply because he's the republican. they'd prefer another candidate but they don't get to express that point of view in november.


so they're not exactly klansmen/methheads directly, but they're willing to support an open bigot in the hope of getting a tax cut or whatever. which makes them uncomfortable, but not uncomfortable enough to do the right thing.

so, "klansmen, methheads, and their willing enablers" would be more accurate.
