As long as our desire for revenge outweighs our desire for doing what’s right, we are prone to nominate someone who does not support our values.

Amen. As Thomas Sowell wrote (and was bashed here for saying), voting on emotion often leads to bad things. Trump presents 'yuge' risks for the US and the Constitution in the long run... and yet half here cannot stop for one moment and acknowledge those risks in their desperate blind fervor to get a TV celebrity icon from "our side" into office.
