This was a valid argument, and exactly the same argument, that I would have made 10-15 years ago. Unfortunately, this argument is no longer valid, because the crazies have now taken over the GOP.
Trump isn't just some right-wing whacko who wants to ban Muslims, doesn't believe in climate change, thinks that vaccines cause autism, thinks that President Obama faked his birth certificate, etc... He is about to become the GOP candidate for president who believes in all of these crazy things. To top it off, his VP running mate is just as crazy, and doesn't even believe in evolution.
These aren't just some fringe radicals who happen to vote Republican, these are the top Republican candidates for the most important elected positions on earth.
To be sure, there are Democrats who believe in crazy things, but they haven't taken over the party, and chosen nominees for president who believe in crazy delusions.
