If your preferred candidate has some good, some bad policies, I think you should make a value judgement as best you can; vote for him if his good outweighs his bad, or not if it's the other way round.

Let's say Trump puts that caravan of immigrants in a camp, keeps reporters out, and the next information we get about it is from escapees telling horror stories about a lack of clean water, sub-standard food with insects, people crammed in three to a bed in "housing", and large, suspicious mounds of earth that seem to grow as people are "released".
Is someone who found Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric distasteful but still voted for him because they don't like NAFTA ultimately responsible for a crime against humanity?
