So, are you saying you are willing to suspend reviewing his track record for support and voting and decide based on campaign promises? Would the selection of a churchmouse veep do it for you?

Hes no worse than most politicians I have been aware of over the years. It takes one with tremendous ego to run for President.

I daresay it also takes a lot of guts. ONE misspoken word on the campaign trail, or even years in the past, can ruin it all. Any past indiscretion is fair game for a surly and public analysis.
This year all the front runners have had some sort of protected status that limits the ferocity with which the opponents are willing to attack them:
1) Be careful attacking the minority on the issues lest you be viewed as racist
2) Be careful attacking the woman on the issues lest you be viewed as sexist
3) Be careful attacking the former war hero P.O.W. on the issues- hordes of people get a tear in their eye just
thinking about his sacrifice for his country
4) Be careful attacking the former Baptist preacher on the issues- Baptists vote both sides and there are MILLIONS of them
5) Be careful attacking the cult member on the issues lest you be viewed as discriminating based on religion

There is just no question that this year it's going to be a tough call.
