Voters don't create a list of pros and cons for each candidate, cross off all the washes and decide on the rest.

The marginal Trump voters start with not liking Trump, and then look to see if the alternative is BETTER. If they see that the alternative appears to be the same, they may decided to stick with what they know.

...he says that Xi is NOT a dictator. (Is that the best praise you can give to a dictator?)
