1. This is going to hurt us All.. As much as I want Trump to be fully exposed, I don't want the country

to be decimated.

So many will be hurt, possibly irreparably.

2. Maybe the country has to feel the pain for electing a traitor.

If it's a decision between Trump destroying the country, democracy, and Constitution, or so much pain the country wakes up from this nightmare, I'll take the pain.

5. The pain has to be greater than the hate his voters are feeding off of

Hopefully, it'll wear off quickly but the rest of us have to suffer with them. Innocents being punished with those guilty, nasty rednecks.

6. His voters, the true believers, will never blame Trump. It's the other 65%

That we need.
