There is an interesting conversation among those four categories.
You can't disregard useful ideas, just because they are adjacent to bad ones.

It is tiring to hear from the Trump apologists that there is a "kernel of validity" to a few things that Trump says. Sure, if you squint really hard, add a filter to make him sound less insane and adopt assumptions to add a layer of nuance that Trump seems incapable of, and yeah, maybe there is that tiny kernel. A blind squirrel will find the odd nut.
In totality however, he is an absurd choice for the commander in chief. It doesn't seem so hard to figure out.
