No I would NOT vote for him. Home Depot wouldn't hire that guy, why would America?

Because Home Depot isn't hiring someone for the Presidency - and thus constrained to a de facto choice of two candidates.

Suppose Home Depot was choosing their CEO, and the choice was between that guy or a another person who would pursue policies that would make Home Depot much worse. The other person would be cruel and terrible to the workers, ruin the stores, and make customers lives terrible. Perhaps they might then prefer hire the first guy, the one with the terrible record, instead of the other person? They might not prioritize the purity of the candidate, but try to avoid the one that they know would do terrible things to the company (in their eyes)?
