You could believe that standard Republican policy is overall better than standard Democratic policy. Trump has been pretty conventional on actual policy so far; if you ignore the words he says and focus on the actions he seems like a less interventionist version of the Georges Bush.

You could find some plank of Trump's platform -- deregulation, for instance -- to be crucially important, and consider the rest of it to be pretty boring and less consequential.

You could consider him a moderate stopgap against [insert unhappy statement about Democratic agenda here].

There are plenty of innocent reasons why one might support Donald Trump.

(I voted against him, for what it's worth.)
