Opinion: Trump is given a pass that would never be afforded others

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

92% : Trump is a scoundrel, and Biden is a decent, honorable person.
89% : Trump loves stage theatrics; Biden enjoys sharing policy plans with Americans and departs stage left as quickly as he can after giving a speech.
54% : As a parent, I trust my two daughters to choose substance over form, honesty over chicanery, Biden over Trump.
52% : If the Iowa GOP caucus is a fair representation of Midwestern political culture, then the Iowa GOP lives in the Trump bubble: About two-thirds of all GOP Iowans without a four-year college degree supported Trump, half of all evangelicals followed suit, and two-thirds said Biden "did not legitimately win" the presidency in 2020.
46% : "Nice talk" might refer to a recent video on Truth Social, Trump's social media platform, where the narrator says, "God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker' - so God gave us Trump."
46% : How can anyone give a pass to a scofflaw who would not pass muster in their view as a potential friend of their daughter? Trump offers excitement; his opponent in the presidential contest does not.
32% : Although it requires we suspend disbelief, Trump has pictured himself in a Superman costume fighting Marxists and defending the forgotten.
30% : Such fantasies are likely to attract many folks in the Midwestern and Southern bible belts, as well as explain why evangelicals give Trump a pass on his blasphemy and eagerly await his promises of carrying out retribution against his enemies.
28% : Probably the same two-thirds said Trump would be "fit" to serve as president even if he is convicted of any one of the 91 alleged crimes filed in four different indictments.
25% : " Full disclosure: I can say authoritatively that if either of my daughters wanted to date Trump, I'd not permit it, or at least strongly discourage the idea (unlike Trump, I understand there are limits to one's powers).
24% : After all, about 65% of all Republicans who voted last week in the Iowa caucus told a CNN pollster that they will vote for Trump regardless of his alleged misdeeds.
19% : And not because Trump is a Republican, but instead he is a person lacking moral character, or as the remarkable Zadie Smith referred to a butcher pretending to be a titled lord in her new novel, "The Fraud," Trump is "a man with no centre who might be nudged in any direction.
13% : Trump caused an insurrection and watched it unfold on TV for more than 3 hours; Biden says that Trump threatens the soul of our democracy.
11% : Trump does not understand governing; Biden does, even if he seems not to understand that every solution to a problem causes a new problem to emerge.
7% : Trump relies heavily on orange facial makeup to appear younger; Biden usually looks the ghoul at a Halloween party.
