5. I think you're giving them too much credit

There has been nothing in Donald Trump's campaign- or life- that earns him the benefit of the doubt.

From the day he announced his candidacy, Mr. Trump has insulted and demeaned one group after another. As others have noted, he's a xenophobe, a misogynist, a bigot of the highest order, a liar, a cheater, an adulterer and a white supremacist. And that list just scratches the surface of this odious man.

While I'm aware that his son-in-law is Jewish and that Ivanka converted, I can't cut his campaign any slack on this. It's just too obvious. As MineralMan noted in another thread, I'm actually surprised they picture doesn't have the Star of David in yellow. (A curious side note: Chelsea Clinton, a friend of Ivanka Trump's, also married a Jewish man but I don't believe she converted.)

But you and I, wooldog, can politely disagree on this point as long as we both agree that Donald Trump must never be president!

Enjoy your Independence Day.
