Are you a Trump supporter because he is decisive? There's certainly a lot to be said about decisive leaders. Saddam Hussein was decisive. Ghaddafi was decisive. So was Joseph McCarthy (I lived through that) and, before him, Hitler. Decisive only works when backed by experience, guided by wisdom and applied for the general well being. Trump has none of these qualities.

On the other hand, are you considering voting for Trump after years of being bombarded by the distorted narrative about Hillary Clinton? Or, are you going to vote third party because you are a disappointed Bernie Sanders supporter?

If you fit one of these categories, please consider this: How will you explain to your grandchildren that you helped elect the first American despot?
