“I think if he weren’t such an appalling human being, he would make a great president, because I think what this country needs is somebody who isn’t a politician,” said Judith Goines, 53, a finance executive at a home building company in Fayetteville, North Carolina. “But obviously with the coronavirus and the social unrest we’re dealing with, that’s where you need a politician, somebody with a little bit more couth.”

“I’m ashamed to say that I’ve voted for him,” said Goines, who described herself as a staunch Republican.

-----------------

Overall, 78% of respondents in battleground states who said they would not vote for Trump again disapproved of his handling of the pandemic.

John Crilly, 55, a retired commercial diver in Reeders, Pennsylvania, said he voted for Trump “because the other option was Hillary Clinton.”

“What changed my mind? 120,000 deaths,” he said. “He refused to realize, ‘Oh my god, there’s a virus coming our way. Shouldn’t we do something, guys?’ COVID was the turning point. It’s the thing that touches home with everybody.”

He plans to vote for a local write-in candidate instead of Biden, who he worries is too old.

Coronavirus also changed the mind of Ariel Oakley, 29, who works in human resources in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “With coronavirus, even just watching the press conferences, having him come out and say it’s all fake,” she said. “I have family who have unfortunately passed away from it.”

It made her wonder how often he had not told the truth before, she said. She plans to vote for Biden.

1. I think that's just about the stupidest goddamned thing I've ever heard.

On a par with: "If he wasn't tone-deaf, he'd make an excellent musician!"

2. what she means is that he would be more acceptable if he applied his racism, sexism without all the

insults. Same policies and actions but with a nicer veneer

8. Great analogy!

We must conclude that it is impossible to intelligently justify voting for Trump EVER.

5. No matter the reason, it's a good thing these folks won't vote for Trump again,

but, Christ, these people are all dumber than dirt.

6. Reading too fast - at first, I thought it said...

...”If the weren’t such an appealing human being,” and thought WTF?!

[PatSeg]

7. So John Crilly won't vote for Trump this time

but he'll write-in a candidate because Biden is too old? I swear, these people don't understand how things work.

9. That makes No senses.. since trump has Always been

an Appalling entity.

10. By that "logic", Charles Manson would have been a great president.

At least that dude knew how to build an effective team in order to get an objective accomplished. That's something Trump can't even do.
