When Trump announced his candidacy, it made me reflect on a documentary shown on PBS many years ago. The documentary claimed / explained that a virus / malware damaged a country's (non-commercial) nuclear processing capabilities by causing centrifuges to spin too fast while the control operating software essentially said 'nothing to see here...all is fine.' The virus / malware acted to 'destabalize from within', which is the effect I expected Trump to have on our institutions, system of Government, and country. When Trump was elected, I sincerely wished him well, and hoped the gravity of highest public office would cause him to grow into a serious and responsible statesman. I wasn't expecting that, but I was hopeful.
But a virus is always a virus. A virus will always destabalize from within. And 2/3 of our fellow citizens are currently able to recognize that.

You voted for him?
No.
I always vote for the best candidate. And when there is no best candidate, I always vote for the least worst candidate. He never qualified as either.
