Somebody (libertarian) on a mailing list that I am on states the following:
1. He is not for Trump as a candidate or president, he considers Trump damaged goods because of all the lies of the press, as a pragmatic position, a bit like a raped woman with resulting venereal diseases through no fault of her own.
2. He thinks all the indictments of Trump are a conspiracy to make Trump the front runner, and thus hurt the Republican party.
3. He think they deserve it if Trump wins.
Edited party.
