In Arguing Against Trump with Trump Supporters

I have found it's easier to put issues aside. The most convincing argument is that he's not sane. Find all those credible quotes from Republicans, throw them into the Trump supporter's face and watch them cringe and retreat. You can't win over the bigots, but the folks who are voting Trump as the "lesser of two evils" can be convinced to switch sides. The issue is sanity. As an aside, it seems that women are easier to convince with this argument than men. My experience is that most women are less prejudiced and more reasonable in their thought process. You see it in the polls. It's white, suburban, Republican women breaking to Clinton that's moving her in the polls. It seems that is accurate by my experience.

Very few of these people did not despise him.
