Never (ever) again

I was talking to an old friend from Republican working days not long ago about the current presidential campaign.

He had no difficulty saying he was not a Trump supporter but had great difficulty trying to articulate who he could vote for. I offered that it is a binary choice:

Democracy or tyranny.

He agreed. But, when we attached names to each category he had more difficulty. Being a hard-core, old-style Republican, he has trouble voting for a Democrat.
