My family voted Trump. They don't adore Putin but have bought the nonsense that Clinton is a cartoon villain. They honestly think that Trump is better than Clinton because Clinton is a crook who will do whatever benefits her rather than the nation.
I agree that one of the candidates cares more about himself than the welfare of the nation, of course. Worse, he is a man without any basic understanding, or any patience to learn, a man convinced that his half-thought proclamations are worth more than the military, foreign policy, environmental, etc. experts. Obviously, I don't approve of their choice in the least and find it difficult to understand how they could be hornswaggled by this egotistical charlatan.
But love of Putin didn't enter the consideration.
