I've voted for many politicians I disagreed with because I believed them to be people of high moral caliber, and those who would work to better the country rather than themselves. That's the reason I vote third-party as often as I do. I don't believe either party has had a candidate of high character since Reagan, and I see Trump, Obama and the Clintons as symptoms of that problem rather than causes of it. Telling four minority, female Congresspeople and American citizens that they should go back where they came from rather than criticize the politician in chief speaks to a huge ego and a small brain, and a pandering to those of similar composure.

If you put character ahead of policy you are not really voting for the well being of your country. There are no politicians of good character anyway, it's just a matter of degree. Clinton was an actual rapist, but the country did better under him than under Bush or Obama. Would you really rather have war and/or economic malaise if it meant that the best character guy was in charge?
