I'm not experienced like you guys I don't know where to begin to decipher all this information and what to trust but he said something that made sense to me. Maybe one of you guys have a counter argument "who cares what they actually believe, what matters is whether or not a politician hears what the people want and give them what they want, I don't care if Hillary scalds her own children for being gay but she sure as hell isn't gonna let the government scorn my kids for being gay, black, immigrant, Hispanic, old, poor, Christian, Muslim, Hindu you get the idea"
Also, I suppose I don't fall into the category of having my mind made up but I'm learning alot. So keep going. I don't know how you guys even know where to begin with the amount of information that is out there, I'm definitely benefiting.
You can respond that the desire for or action toward inclusivity and tolerance within reason are important traits for any normal human being, but a good world leader they do not necessarily make. We aren't perfect but remember that the US is already one of the most tolerant and freedom-giving countries in the world toward religious, ethnic and sexual minorities.
We can put some hypothetical examples around this if you want but that's as simple of a response as you need.
