That is a great question. It’s curious to me, I bet it’s positively baffling to many on the left.

I see things Trump does that are not in alignment with my values, that’s true.

He does move the ball forward on some conservative positions, so there is reason to approve of him. But does one outweigh the other?

  I think he is a good showman.  ( Remember, before he was a Republican he hung out with Don King and hosted Saturday Night Live— twice! ) The man knows how to reach people through a camera.  He obviously shows enough appeal that he won the popular vote.  

It is curious, and I bet will be an interesting study for future generations of political science students.
