No, I think he's detestable too but then I think every republican and democrat is detestable so there you go. 
What I'm enjoying about "The Donald" is the loyalty crisis he is creating within the Republican party. You know, that party what went around making a BIG DEAL about supporting whoever the nominee is but now we see this and this. And this doesn't include comments from folks like Lindsey Graham and John Kasich to some similar effect. So fascinating this is as we are 100 years later from the last days of the Bull Moose Party and the Wildcat run of Theodore Roosevelt and now we see history repeating itself.
But beyond republican hypocrisy, not that democrats are not oozing with it either, what I'll enjoy most about Trump getting the nomination is first, watching all the corp. sleeze and Wall Street welfare queens flock to the democrats, not that they aren't already but the rushing water will be to much to hide. Second, the tired, old, worn out argument that voting outside the 2 main parties is throwing away your vote goes out the window. Another argument is the false dilemma that you have to vote for the lesser evil in the only 2 options given.
Taking the LONG VIEW, Trump and these anti-Trump republicans may actually for once do something that is a great benefit and service to humanity. They will themselves undermine their own myth they've sold for years that voting 3rd party or independent candidate is throwing away your vote. It also demonstrates the idea of voting principle, granted their idea of principle is detestable but it is a principle none the less.
So for the long term benefit to America and the common folk, Go Trump!
