Then end doesn't justify the means in my world.

I don't know even know where to start on this one but it's something that gets my blood pressure rising. 

I just watched the Trump Biden debate and I had to turn it off.  I need to say that right off the start I'm not a Trump fan at all!  I'm not a Trump fan becuase of his character and nothing else.  I perceive his character as a egotistical, pathological liar who is a selfish bully that has racist/bigot ideology with the presidential office serving him personally. 

I've changed who I am over the years with my Kung Fu and the people I train with being a big part of that.  How can you be a SRKF martial artist with out having empathy, compassion and love?  These are things that I see Trump as being completely void of.  People ask me why I don't like Trump?  "He's done so well for the economy, he's created so many jobs and look at how well the stock market is doing".  My response to that is look at the character of the man, look beyond those things and realize how he's done some of them.  Most people I've talked with are 100% willing to look past his ideological views becuase the end results for them as individuals are jobs and the American dream. 

The end justifies the means.

As I get older I can't look past the character of the man who justifies the means for the results.  Do I want a good job, absolutely I do.  Do I want to be able to make sure my family is getting thier slice of the "Canadian Dream"?  Yes I do but now more than ever I ask myself "what's the cost"?  Whats the cost of this in regards to who I cast my vote to support?  My ideals/character and what I personally view as good character is at the top of list.  Down that list is the actual political platform which is obviously important. But it's not as important as the character of the man leading the policies and platform.
