Sowell hates Trump

I was looking for a current quote, without success, so I don't know his thoughts on Trump
now. VDH shifted greatly on his Trump views, so maybe Sowell did as well. We simply
don't know.

But here is his statement just before the vote, which shows he doesn't "hate Trump" because he is voting for him:

Well, my preference would be to leave the office vacant for four years and to wait for
better things than 2016. Unfortunately that's not one of the options that we have. I think
it's going to be dangerous and not merely bad if either of them becomes president. The
question is, where's the danger greatest and, more importantly, most long-lasting? And I
think that even though Donald Trump has no coherent vision that looks that promising,
Hillary Clinton does have a vision, and it's a world in which she can, by determining
who's on the next Supreme Court--for the next 50 years law in America can be
undermined. The First and Second Amendments we can write off if she's allowed to put a
majority on that court. And so long after, whether it's Clinton or Trump, long after they
leave office, the people they put on the Supreme Court will be a legacy for the next
generation and perhaps put an end to constitutional law in this country. And on that basis,
I would vote against Hillary Clinton.
