I implore my conservative readers to consider two ideas:
1. Donald Trump is unfit for the Presidency of the United States.
2. The Democrats (and substantial portions of the civil service) have treated Donald Trump very shabbily. For sake of argument only, I’ll include the federal criminal indictment in that.
Now here’s the point, which doesn’t seem subtle to me but [seems to be widely overlooked](https://thedispatch.com/newsletter/boilingfrogs/reason-and-the-mob/): Idea 2 doesn’t refute Idea 1.
Can you see that?
Should we inflict Donald Trump upon ourselves and our children just to get back at those who’ve wronged him? Couldn’t we just throw him a giant pity party? (Sorry: I’m expecting an emergency phone call that evening.)
