Good post. I get your reasons, and your reasoning, except for this:
[...] there are no evidentiary red flags on Trump like we clearly discovered in 2007 about Obama.
In this I differ with you greatly. Look at his record, not at what's coming out of his mouth.
The worst red flag, that Obama was clearly being run by a committee, is not true of Trump. It would never have been possible to persuade Barack to do a conservative anything. He had sold his soul.
