Puh-leeze.
Anyone with an ethical heart has seen this sham tried many times before and they have identified those with zero moral compass who attempt to gain political advantage by perpetrating them. And they have seen which political candidates those people try to push on us. And sometimes, those who would not be so manipulated rebel at the polls. So you can play the 'mid-west rube tricked into voting for the wrong guy' card if it makes you feel better, but 2016 was not about picking the wrong candidate between two who both score zero on any ethical scale, rather it was, as Michael Moore astutely predicated, a "***** YOU!!" election. And it was very clear which one was the ***** you candidate.
You of all people here should appreciate that mindset far more than you do. But maybe for all the blather, when push comes to shove you are really just another party shill.
