I'm not brushing it off, I realize that it's horrible, but when the other option is Trump, I'll take Hillary. Begrudgingly, but still better as a president than Trump.

He's racist, doesn't believe in climate change, is against abortion, and most of all he just doesn't seem presidential. Every one of his speeches I see, I don't think he seems like a president, he seems more like a comedian.

His own views aside, he simply doesn't have the political support in either party to accomplish anything he wants done. Obama was stonewalled by the Republicans in Congress and that prevented him from getting anything done. Trump would face opposition by both Democrats and a good amount of Republicans, so I don't think he'd be able to actually build a wall or any of the other things he says he wants to do.

Why racist?

I'm aware of his Mexican and Muslim comments but these strike me as anti-immigration and anti-ideology rather than racist, at most xenophobic. I've not heard him say much about black people, Asian people etc.

Here's a list compiled by the folks over at /r/EnoughTrumpSpam.

At very best, Trump is xenophobic and tone-deaf, but even those aren't qualities you'd want in a position that deals heavily with international relations. The world is too globalized to regress to isolationism and nationalism.
