I see no particularly distinguishing features between them.

Nice to see you Mr. Palm! Another Av board regular dipping their toes into the quagmire. Welcome.
There is some merit to what he writes with all his ivory tower prose, but it's mostly hyperbole. Trump is not Hitler, but he does seem to have a Hitleresque ability to make people blindly support him and he certainly has Hitler's belief in his own importance, but that's where the similarities end. Trump is closer to Saddam Hussein, or Mussolini than Hitler. Hitler was a modest man with a grand vision for his country's future, the later two were self aggrandizing egotists with grand visions for their personal futures. This describes Trump too.
IMO, Trump is a terrible choice for president and so is Clinton and so is Sanders. So far we are triple screwed. I will not be voting for any of them. How America can have lifted these three up as the best candidates for the highest office in the land is well beyond my comprehension.

Who says that a vote for Trump must be a resounding endorsement of him. My vote for him is a resounding rejection of Hillary.

You see, the Cruzers want to have it both ways. Their guy couldn't attract enough voters to beat Trump so by not backing him now and not voting they will be able to have it both ways. If Hillary is elected and gets to appoint 2,3,4 SCOTUS judges and royally fucks up the country they can say it wasn't their fault because they didn't put her in office and if Trump gets elected and does poorly they'll also be able to say it wasn't their fault. It's the easy way out. It won't stop them from complaining about it all though and telling us how different things would have been with Cruz, who didn't stand a snow balls chance in hell of winning. Hell he couldn't even get his own party to vote for him.

An article from the New Yorker that presumes any acceptance of Trump must be dangerous?
Nope. No merit at all.

I was kind of wondering how many people would reject his concerns because of where they were published. ;)

One of the leading candidates seems much more likely to trash the Constitution than the other. I suspect not everyone agrees on which one that is. ;D

They'll work it out together at Trump's next cocktail party.

They'll work it out together at Trump's next WEDDING.
FTFY

New Yorker magazine? Really?

I think it's more that I reject the premise of the question. Acceptance of Donald Trump is not dangerous.
I'm still not voting for him for conscience reasons, but those who opposed him before and accept him now are not doing a dangerous thing.

I hope you're right.

I'm voting for him because the 15 other Republicans that I would have preferred all dropped out.
