The POTUS contest has really become less about the candidate and more about the polices of their party. Trump is odious and a buffoon, but if you prefer the GOP agenda over the Dem agenda you're going to vote for him. If for no other reason than the next POTUS could potentially nominate three SCOTUS justices. If you stop viewing this as a candidate specific issue and more of a long game this isn't that difficult to understand. Many voters, on both sides, view this as a vote that will determine the future course of the country (more so than most anyways).
Of course some here would tell us that voting for any GOP candidate is objectively wrong. I'm sure their unbiased opinion is utterly persuasive.
I'm going to have to disagree with you, here. This may get the thread off track, and for that I apologize, but the Never Trumper Republicans that emerged in 2016 and the Lincoln Project that is currently putting some serious effort behind getting Trump out of office show that your claim isn't entirely accurate. These are people that are hard core Republicans and support the policies of the GOP. It's something I remind some local liberals about, regularly, when they are cheering them on.
