Just not "on the level of Hillary."
"Has he ever sold the public trust for $$$ and influence?" Yes
"Has he gone on record lying again and again to the public" Yes
"Is he guilty of besmirching [the] reputations" Yes
You have to be an absolute partisan hack, a blind ideologue to think Trump isn't as bad or even worse than Hillary.

Give examples of criminal behavior. Trump hurt your feelings. And although I know that's hard to deal with, you'll survive. There are dead people from Little Rock to Benghazi, Mena to Washngton DC as a result of the deep corruption and luat for power and money these people possess. And you're going to expend your energy fighting against a guy who can deny them the position to continue their charade. And you want to act like he is a Hillary equivalent! I know there is no convincing you, I don't have the slightest hope for that. But there are people who read these debates and hopefully someone who isn't sure about Trump can see that there is a verifiable difference between the two.

Oh yes the old liberal dodge. "Republicans are stupid" "Consevatives lack intellect" "the right isn't sophisticated". I remember Mario Cuomo saying something about the difference between liberals and conservatives was that conservatives argue "writing in crayon" or something like that. You know, those brilliant liberals who want to argue what it means to be a man or a woman, or want to argue the origins of man, or the existence of God, or that man is causing the earth's temperature to change, or that our Founding Fathers really weren't men of Christian Faith, or that America is evil, that socialism is superior to freedom, that the state is more effective raising children than parents, etc. Yes, we who choose to support a candidate who doesn't have a reputation for pathological lying, extensive and verifiable government corruption, and has provided cover for a serial sexual predator husband for decades---we are stuck on stupid. Oh yes, this is so obvious.

You didn't hear Donald Trump admitting, openly, during the primary debates that he had bribed people in order to get what he wants from them? That's extortion, my friend.
Today, he tells a group of pastors that he is not doing well in Utah, which Ted Cruz predicted would happen, - https://amp.twimg.com/v/35389ae3-646...c-fae442309591
and then goes on to say that doing well as POTUS "may be the only way I'm going to get to heaven." He can smile all day long, but perhaps those people who call themselves pastors could give him a Bible study.

Again, pretty sad when you have to try and say..."but the GOP nominee isn't as bad as the worst politician ever." He's still bad. He's lied. He's abused the system. He brags about doing so. He's besmirched reputations of literally every single candidate he ran against, every politician who has dared oppose him, and every journalist who has dared written an article about him.
Now you add "criminal behavior" as a caveat, even though the three things you listed previously aren't criminal behavior.

What do you mean with the part in bold?

exactly what you think. 2A implies a responsibility that must be considered at some point if one embraces the system, or else irresponsibility is implied.

But Trump, c'mon, he's got to make you want to hide your face in public. There was a time when Republicans wouldn't be caught dead supporting such a man. What gives?

The more I see who hates Trump, the more I like him.
Still think the whole thing is a charade, from start to finish. Y'all better learn how to garden, quick.

Dumbest reason to support anyone. But not a surprise, considering you've been defending the GOP nominee for months now.
