As I have told people in the past, better than shit can still be crap. The problem is that many voters aren't as strident in their opinions as you are. Regardless I'm that odd guy who would prefer a good candidate for POTUS, not one that's slightly better than someone I believe is awful.
I think it's more about people's willingness to convince themselves the guy who represents their side is awesome. I can see how people would convince themselves Trump is awesome when they've already been convinced that liberals are going to destroy the country and he's their only ray of hope. To me that seems pretty stupid, but I'm mostly just jealous that I can't look at a candidate with a specific letter in front of his name and start to swoon with delight.
